Summary: Yes, it does work with my built in BlueTooth
Review: I bought this mouse because I just got a new HP nc8000 laptop that has built-in Bluetooth. I read all the reviews here - both good and bad - and figured I'd give it a try.Yes, it does work with my built in BlueTooth and it is pretty easy to set up. Note, I did NOT install any of the software that comes with the mouse and (of course) I am NOT using the Bluetooth tranceiver that comes with it either. There were two tricks that you have to do only once: 1) Press the "Connect Channel" button on the bottom of the mouse right after you choose "Connect" off the contect menu in My Bluetooth Places. 2) When "pairing" the mouse, don't chose a key, just leave it blank. Once I learned this, I was up and running with no further problems.

Summary: Been using this mouse for 4 months so far and great.
Review: I bought this mouse before Christmas off ebay NIB for less then 40.00 and love it. I have a Dell desktop with XP and I already had a BT adaptor in one of my USB ports which I did not disconnect, kept the original Intellimouse connected and did the install using the included CD. Took 1 minute and all worked fine. Actually had both mice working and both blue tooth adaptors work also. I haven't tried synching my T616 phone to the PC using the MS BT Adaptor, but the phone recognizes the orginal BT adaptor with no troubles. I love the form but it does suck the batteries. I spend 6+ hours a day using it and go thru batteries every 3 weeks. I will be investing in some rechargables soon. I wouldn't have spent more then 60.00 for the mouse, but for under 40 NIB, it's a great deal. The additional software functions and multiple buttons were another reason I bought this mouse.

Summary: sub-par precision from an otherwise attractive package
Review: I bought this mouse mainly because of the comfort factor and also the portability of the very small bluetooth transceiver. Unfortunately the product failed to deliver when I got it home. The precision was terrible, often misinterpreting or not recognizing small movements at all. I tried it on a Dell Latitude C840 (P4) and an older Dell Dimension PC (P3) and had the same results. I exchanged it for a new one (in case I was just unlucky and had a bad unit) but the second one behaved exactly the same. I found this very strange but two of my co-workers have MS wireless optical mice (non-bluetooth) that work wonderfully. Eventually I returned this mouse and picked up the Logitech MX700 wireless optical mouse and it made a huge difference in performance and precision for $20 less than the MS mouse (albeit with a much larger wireless transceiver).
Bottom line - I would not recommend this Microsoft mouse if you are at all concerned with having reliable and precise performance from your pointing device.

Summary: WARNING!!! This mouse is a dead paper weight.
Review: I bought this mouse on the recommendation from a friend who had read about it... was this ever the biggest mistake EVER. Not only does it not function with my built in Bluetooth as is, it requires this stoopid looking do-daddle transciever that has to be plugged into the back of the laptop (Sticking out about 4 inches). In addition to this "less than sleek look", the device functioned in a very spasmatic fashion leaving me to think I must be developing MS. I mean seriously, who does Microsoft think they are putting out this level of crap and expecting people to buy it at such an outstanding price? This purchase is going back to the store tomorrow, and my friend that turned me onto this mouse... may be lost...

Summary: Excellent Mouse That's Over Packaged
Review: I bought this mouse to use with my new Macintosh PowerBook 17" with built-in BlueTooth. The mouse does not officially list Mac as a supported platform (go figure) but it works great. Just put in the batteries, press the button on the bottom of the mouse and go through the mouse set-up on OS X (requires 10.2.5 or later, I think.) After that, it's a great mouse. Takes a moment to wake up sometimes if you haven't used it in a while, but not a problem. The one problem is that the mouse is sold only with a BlueTooth USB adapter (and a really complicated one) which I don't need. This must bring the price up. ...Moreover I was thinking of getting the BT keyboard, but I'd end up with another adapter I don't need.

Summary: Great Mouse...If all your BT products are also Microsoft
Review: I give this product only 3 stars because it works great if you have just Microsoft Bluetooth products, i.e. their keyboard and mouse but is questionable if you also want to talk to other non-Microsoft products. It will not work (with current software) with the Nokia 3650. If you want to talk to other devices than you should seriously look into the technology (stacks, serial implementations, etc.). Just because it supports Bluetooth doesn't mean it supports ALL of Bluetooth.

Summary: Terrible Mouse - DO NOT BUY IT
Review: I hate this mouse. Its a piece of [junk] - not worth the [money amount]price. The first time I installed it on my PC, the device could never be identified nor connected. I called MS Tech Support and they were no help. They had me uninstall the drivers - that didn't work. Two days of trial and error without success. I ended performing a clean install of XP, to finally get it to work. It also goes through a set of batteries every 2 weeks. My wife's logitech mouse goes 3 months without needing new batteries. The moulse also don't have drivers for Mac OSX, which means the multiple buttons don't work. It will connect and Mac OSX does recognize the device.

Summary: Works with Apple - iMac and iBook - right out of the box
Review: I have the iMac and iBook running OSX Panther and this mouse worked with both right out of the box after going through the simple bluetooth pairing routine on the Mac. This is more a testament to the ease of use of the Apple OS than the mouse, but what matters most is that it works even though the technical specs make no mention of Apple OSX support. Both my computers have bluetooth built in so I didn't have to deal with the external bluetooth thingy that came with the mouse. The only downside is that without Apple OSX drivers some of the buttons don't work. The right and left buttons and the scroll wheel all work fine, but without the OSX drivers the seondary clickers are dead. This is no big deal in my view. And I suspect that OSX drivers will eventually be released.

Summary: HAVING PROBLEM WITH INSTALL
Review: I install the software and the usb laptop transreceiver connection and the pc laptop did not recognize it. I would like to say that the laptop have built in bluetooth so I really don't know whether or not I should use that usb transreceiver for the laptop either way it did not work, with or without.

Summary: Great ergonomic mouse, with quirks and eats batteries
Review: I previously owned the corded version(Intellimouse Explorer) of this mouse and loved it. Its ergonomic design fit nicely into my hand and I really appreciated the forward and back buttons on the side. I decided to purchase the Bluetooth because of the similar ergonomics and it being cordless. Little did I know that it would require new batteries every week or so. It also had some quirky behaviors that really frustrated me. It installed just fine on my computer with XP Home Edition. Do not fiddle with the connect channel button on the underside of the mouse after it has been installed and working, particularly if your computer is off. I made this mistake and the mouse stopped working. Initially I didn't know what was wrong and thought it was the batteries dying again. After much trial and error, I removed and reinstalled the software and mouse and it worked again. I wish it had a charging station like the Logitech. I'm not sure if I would recommend this mouse to others, unless you really like the feel of it in your hand. I did not care for the feel of the Logitech, otherwise I probably would have preferred that one because of the ability to recharge the mouse. If you really like the Bluetooth, then invest in rechargeable batteries also.
