microsoft bluetooth mice

[bcburrows]

I was wondering if anyone knew the answer to my problem

I just found my old microsoft wireless notebook optical mouse 4000, it comes with a usb plug in that says its a blue tooth adaptor. I hate having anything like that plugged in, especially as my MBP has built in bluetooth.

Has anyone managed to connect these microsoft mice via the built in bluetooth?
Or am I going to have to stump up the money for the magic mouse?

Have you tried? It will not hurt to just try you know? I don't recall the model name but I have connected a BT mouse to my mac without a dongle though it did come with one.

it should work fine. when I was using mine on my pc the ms bt dongle broke and I used a generic one with no problems.

If the mouse is Bluetooth and the USB dongle is truly a Bluetooth receiver, then you shouldn't need it. A Bluetooth mouse will link directly to a computer with Bluetooth built in. The dongle is only for computers that don't have Bluetooth on board.
