Default Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 (Certified for VISTA)

Hello guys,
I`m Windows XP user, and use my Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 with
Belkin F8T013 Bluetooth USB Adaptor I have litle reconecting problems with
it, but it`s not a big deal. My big pain is, my mouse is tracking realy
smoothly sometimes. And respondes with lacking. I can`t explain this, why
it`s lacking?

Can anybody hear about this or have similar problem?

PS: I was limited reconecting problem with turn Off USB suspending option
from USB properties. But my lacking is continues.

I did that, long before posting.

Your mouse won't be listed, but you can find one that has four buttons
like yours and it should work.


I've tried every single mouse listed. Yes, it should work. It doesn't.
And it doesn't on five different Vista Ultimate machines, using either the
internal Bluetooth modules, or external Bluetooth dongles.

I have the Wireless Laser Mouse 5000 and have tried all of the five button
mice settings and they all work just fine.


Good for you. Do you have reassigned button functions on your Wireless
Laser Mouse 5000 correctly working? Can you reassign the scroll wheel
button as Back? Are your program-specific button assignments working?
That's what I had posted was the problem. I use those program-specific
settings every time I use my computers.

All mice communicate in basically the same way with the OS, so the
settings for a different MS Mouse will usually work, as long as it has the
correct number of buttons (or more).


My older Bluetooth mouse with a USB dongle works just fine; all buttons
are reassignable, and all settings work as they should. The new Wireless
Laser Mouse 5000 does not, and it's marked "Vista Certified" as well as
being on the Vista Hardware Compatibility List. It consistently fails to
work on (so far) five different computers, each running Vista Ultimate, by
failing to reassign button functions, using either internal Bluetooth
modules or external Bluetooth dongles. The older Bluetooth mice work fine;
the new Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 5000 devices do not.

You can even try a five button mouse, one of the extra two settings will
work with your "back" button, but for sure the right/left/middle buttons
will work since all mice, even non-MS, communicate those buttons the exact
same way, always.


I have tried every single mouse listed in the Intellipoint driver list.
The older Bluetooth (with dongle) mice work fine; the new Microsoft Wireless
Laser Mouse 5000 devices do not.


Vista User, I have the same problem: it connects fine, but I can't
change the button assignments. I've tried connecting using a passkey
(I think the documentation says use 1111) and I've tried connecting
using no passkey with the same result.

When I go into Mouse Properties, and click on the Buttons tab, I get
the following message, "Some mouse settings might not work until you
connect a Microsoft mouse to a USB port on your computer or set up a
Microsoft mouse that uses Bluetooth technology." Do you get that
message?

I'm using my dell latitude's internal bluetooth module. Did you say
that this Notebook 5000 mouse works for you properly when you use a
bluetooth USB dongle, but doesn't work when you use the internal one?
I wonder if MS packed some non-standard stuff in the bluetooth dongles
they sold with their other mice or something.
