Summary: Purchase another bluetooth adapter to use with this mouse!
Review:
Unless you can spend a little more money to purchase another bluetooth adapter, then avoid this mouse because the bluetooth adapter and software provided are garbage. I purchased the D-Link Bluetooth adapter BT-120, which has made using this mouse a dream instead of a nightmare. Not only is the BT-120 smaller, the D-Link software allows me to use the mouse with my laptop which runs Windows 2000. Overall, I have had no installation problems and the batteries last quite a while. I love the feel of this mouse too!
Installation instructions:
1. Put fresh batteries in the mouse.
2. Install the D-Link bluetooth adapter software. (Don't install the provided software!)
3. Plug the D-Link adapter into an open USB port.
4. Run the D-Link software to initiate pairing.
5. Follow the D-Link software pairing instructions.
6. Enjoy!

Summary: Overprived - Doesn't Deliver
Review: $70 for a mouse??? It better be one heck of a mouse. I bought this mouse after trying it at the store. I really liked the form factor and feel in my hand. But after just a few days of use I was completely frustrated. It has three major problems:1) Auto-sleep. The mouse will sleep after about 1 minute of inactivity. The only way to wake it up is to press a button or move it fairly dramatically. Unfortunately the button press is interpreted by the OS, which you definitely don't want (clicks on the wrong thing). After doing a lot of research on what others have done, I have resigned myself to bang the mouse on the mousepad. It's now part of my normal usage scenario, even on computers that don't have this mouse. Anyone who watches me use a computer will see me banging the mouse violently on the mousepad every few seconds. Lovely. 2) Battery Hog - I suppose if they allowed you to turn off the auto-sleep the batteries would last about an hour. Even with the auto-sleep, the batteries last no more than 1-2 weeks. Now I have to have dedicated NiMH batteries ready to go at a moments notice. Add another $30 to the price for the batteries and rapid charger. 3) Configuration - Ok, so I have to bang the mouse every few seconds and change the batteries every few days/weeks. The worst part is, when you do change the batteries, the bluetooth connection gets confused and has to be un-installed/re-installed from the control panel. This is the recommended solution from the Microsoft knowledgebase. It's wonderful when you are in a hurry to leave, trying to print an invoice, and you have to spend 3-4 minutes changing batteries and re-configuring XP using the keyboard only. Very frustrating. Apart from these issues, the mouse works fine. But geez, it's just a mouse. I would have been much happier with a non-bluetooth wireless mouse, or even a corded optical mouse. I wish someone would have warned me before I bought it.

Summary: Works Great With Dell TrueMobile 300 Bluetooth
Review: After ordering the mouse, I decided to read some of the reviews and was set back with the negative comments about not being compatible with the internal transmitters. In fact, upon receiving the device, I noticed on the box a warning to remove any installed transceiver and software before installing the mouse. In as much as I paid $50 extra for the internal transceiver and bought the mouse soley so I wouldn't have to have the transceiver hanging off my laptop, I was greatly dissappointed. I tried Dell Tech Support then Dell Wireless Support and was disappointed to find no one with any clue as to how to install the mouse. I finally decided to open the box and try it on my own. To make a long story short:
1. Install the MS software from the CD.
2. Reboot when directed.
3. When directed to connect the MS transciever via the USB connection - Don't. Cancel and remove the CD.
4. Open the TrueMobile 300 Bluetooth Module and let it discover the mouse.
5. Open the Mouse control panel and change it to your heart's content.
6. Works flawlessly I strongly disagree with the reviews claiming it is junk. I have only been using it for about two weeks, but so far no problems. My computer is a Dell D505 Latitude. After a month - still works great.

Summary: Works With Built-in Bluetooth Radio--Beware Of Software
Review: After reading the earlier reviews at this website, we decided to experiment with this mouse. Our installation was with an IBM ThinkPad T40P, a laptop that has an integral BlueTooth radio. We were interested in using this mouse *without* the Microsoft-provided USB-attached transceiver. Initial experimentation with the T40P and the Windows XP BlueTooth attachment Wizard produced a good result. We had to trial several speed settings before being satisfied. The optical sensor performance is not as good as Microsoft's tethered Intellimouse products. It is fussier about the surface quality. We were interested in trying the IntelliMouse (4.9) software. It offers a variety of additional customizations that will be helpful to some users. But sadly, this is where it all goes wrong with the Thinkpad T40P. The software is incompatible with IBM's UltraNav drivers and removes them upon installation. The IntelliMouse software is wonderful, but the installation program insists on removing the UltraNav drivers that control the builtin pointing-stick and touch-pad devices and replaces them with Microsoft's own--far less robust--versions. While the hardware still functions, forget about typing more than a line or two without having the cursor jump to another part of the screen. You'll think (and eventually shout in horror), "what the heck is going on here?" So for those of you with the question of whether the Bluetooth Intellimouse works without Microsoft's transceiver, the answer is "yes." If the software is going to back out your PC's hardware-specific device drivers, don't install it.

Summary: Absolute Garbage
Review: Anyone who uses this mouse for any length of time will hate it. Guaranteed. Here's why: 1)Poor manufacturing. The mouse just *feels* cheap. The buttons rattle, the footprint is way too large and not at all ergonomic, and the mouse wheel is probably the worst I've ever used. Just wiggling the button causes it to scroll, which is even more annoying than you might imagine. 2) Bluetooth dongle DOES NOT WORK for anything besides Microsoft mice and keyboards. This has been hinted at elsewhere, but I can tell you definitively, whether it's the driver or the dongle hardware I don't know, but don't expect to be able to use ANY OTHER BT devices with the supplied dongle. You cannot, or at least, everything I've read says you can't. 3) Eats batteries faster than anything. I have to give it juice just as often as my Logitech MX700 mouse, only that one's rechargable -- This thing I have to put batteries in about weekly. (Regardless of how often I use it!) 4) Doesn't respond immediately when in low-power mode, but buffers movement. Which means sitting down, wiggling the mouse to wake it up, and your cursor dancing around the screen for a second or two. A minor annoyance, but for this thing, it's just the cherry on top. I tried to use this mouse for three weeks, and hated every second of it. Save yourself my pain.

Summary: Dead batteries?
Review: Don't make the mistake of buying NiMH batteries for this device. These batteries are designed for high load devices, i.e. you can take 1,000 pictures in a day with them, however they go dead in about a week even if their not connected in a device!!!! My recomendation is to use Rayovac Renewal batteries, or some other rechargable Alkaline.

Summary: Good one for home computers
Review: got this mouse a week back. installed the given software on my dell home desktop and the mouse started working. Though this mouse has some drawbacks like
- No on/off swtich for the mouse. so eventually it might
drain my battery
- Immedialtely after boot up. It takes 3-5secs for the mouse
to be detected.
But the transreceiver immediately recognised my 2 T610 cell phones and the mouse. So until now, I dont have any problems.

Summary: Very nice mouse, and a very happy user :-)
Review: I am a professional software developer. I spend all day every work day on my T42 IBM Thinkpad writing code. My T42 has a built-in Bluetooth tranceiver. I turned on my Thinkpad's tranceiver, then installed the supplied Microsoft Intellipoint 5.2 software. When it directed me to insert the supplied Microsoft USB Bluetooth tranceiver and press OK, I just pressed OK. The mouse works _perfectly_ with my Thinkpad's built in tranceiver. The mouse feels wonderful! Both ergonomics and build quality are as great as expected with a Microsoft mouse. And the scrolling on this new Microsoft mouse is fantastic! For gamers, maybe you should take a look at the Logitech MX1000 Laser Cordless Mouse. But if you are a professional code writer and don't need ultra gaming precision and top speed, use a laptop with built in Bluetooth and don't want a USB dongle hanging off the side of your machine, this is your mouse.

Summary: LET ME SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT
Review: I am a software developer and my mouse is my life. I decided after researching for hours on this mouse to buy it despite some of the negative reviews about battery life, sleep mode, and driver problems. I have had great luck with Microsoft mice and am a die hard on the feel of them. I am here to say that this mouse is great. I have an IBM T40p laptop and it works flawlessly with the integrated bluetooth on the laptop. The Microsoft driver CD installation did want to remove the UltraNav drivers (IBM's touchpad drivers), which I do not know why, but after the installation I went back and reinstalled the UltraNav drivers and it works just fine. I can configure both devices with no problems. Also, the battery life is so far so good. I have used my mouse non-stop for two days now and my battery life still shows good in the mouse configuration in the control panel. I did however buy re-chargable batteries so I do not have to spend the money over time. And finally, this mouse does go to sleep after awhile of inactivity (around 30 seconds) but with one simple click it wakes right up and you do not even miss a beat! The trick is that you HAVE to click the button once. Moving the mouse does not wake it up. The one thing that is missing on this mouse is the ability to turn it off. They need an on/off switch so that when you travel with it you do not need to take out the batteries. When the mouse is moved the optical turns on. They just need a simple switch to turn it off for travel. I will continue to remove the batteries to pack it. No big deal. So with that I give this mouse a thumbs up and am very pleased with the feel and ergonomics. I did have to play with the speed of the pointer to refine it but other than that there have been no problems. The one thing I have not tried is using the bluetooth adapter that came with the mouse so I do not have any input on how that works with the mouse or any other bluetooth devices. AS FOR THE MOUSE - A++++++

Summary: If you are already using BT you will be better off with the
Review: I bought the Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer for Bluetooth, and I am disappointed. I consider it to have some major flaws:
1- It should have an on/off switch to take it in my bag without finishing the batteries.
2- I expected that a "mouse for Bluetooth" or "Bluetooth mouse" should work with standard Bluetooth transceivers, but the Microsoft IntelliMouse for Bluetooth, only works with the Microsoft transceiver included with the mouse.
3- The Microsoft "Bluetooth Transceiver" should be a full function Bluetooth Transceiver, but the one included with the mouse and its Windows XP update "does not yet support Personal Area Network (PAN) features, such as personal digital assistant (PDA) synchronization" (taken from the Read Me file). That means you will not be able to synchronize with your Palm device, as you can with other BT Transceivers. If you are already using BT you will be better off with the Logitech MX700 or any other mouse. Some interesting points covered in the Read Me file for the Microsoft Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer for Bluetooth, that you should know before you buy it: 1.1 [YOU MUST] Remove any existing Bluetooth transceiver device and its software before running Setup
1.2 Previously installed pointing device programs MUST be removed before running Setup
1.4 Disabling the PS/2 port in the BIOS program may result in an installation error
1.8 Using multiple Bluetooth transceivers not supported
1.10 Mouse may not respond immediately if it is in low-power mode
1.14 Reassigned button commands may not work as expected for certain programs or games
