I have the exact same problem when trying to pair this mouse with my macbook. The macbook recognizes the hardware ID, but when it attempts to pair with an empty pass key, it fails.

This mouse is supposed to work with OSX so I know that it is meant to be compatible with Macs. Also, I know that my own BT settings are ok, because I tried this computer out with a friend's microsoft BT mouse (older model) and it worked just fine.

This is the second mouse I have tried because I thought the first one was defective. Turns out that isn't the case.

Please Help!

has anyone got this thing actually working yet?
All I have to hear in order to buy it is one user who can confirm that it has full functionality in os x and winxp. Anyone?

I have just got myself one of these, the 8000 bt laser mouse. I'm using the dongle, it doesn't really bother me on an iMac.

I've 3 problems,

1) how do you correctly configure middle-click? (open in a new tab in firefox)

2) The mouse is quite often really erratic. I'm using the latest MS intellipoint version for mac.

3) the middle button is really really stiff, I have to adjust my hand to have enough force to be able to click it!
