The new Wireless Notebook Presenter Mouse 8000 is a thing of beauty. It's a notebook laser mouse with lots of goodies on the backside for those of us who give presentations regularly. It's sleek and sexy and feature-packed, and best of all, it's Bluetooth.
However, it doesn't pair with OS X properly. I found some work-around steps from someone named viper0440 on the MacRumors forums:
- Turn on the mouse
- Press or hold down connect button until light flashes alternating red and green
- Click Bluetooth tray icon; Browse Device...
- If the device "Mouse" is not in the list click search, then click browse.
- Next to search button it will say "Device does not have the necessary services."
- Click Cancel; Quit Bluetooth File Exchange
- Open System Preferences; Bluetooth; Devices section
- Settings section; Click the device ID in the list of your mouse, Add to Favorites
- Turn Bluetooth Off, Turn Bluetooth On
- Light should stop blinking and the device will show up with status "Connected: Yes" in bluetooth device list.
