Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse on OSX 10.9?

Any ideas how I can get the USB transmitter to work? The computer thinks it is a keyboard and it won't connect.

Since it is plug and play, is the mouse needing to be paired to the receiver to be properly identified by OS X?

Try re-pairing the mouse to the USB receiver and test again.

when I plug in the USB dongle..

...the keyboard setup assistant from System Preferences pops up, tells me the keyboard can't be identified. It won't pair to the mouse, it thinks it's a keyboard I guess and won't recognize it.

it supported up to Lion, but maybe try installing the intellipoint SW... would try it out to confirm but I don't have a MS mouse
