Has anyone got the Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse working with the Apple DLink Bluetooth USB adapter on 10.2.5 yet?



Thanks in advance.



PBM.

    Oh and this combo (MS BT Mouse/Apple Dlink BT adapter) may work but it seems flakey on my pb800. jerky/slow and disconnects randomly.

    Ok... I am now really confused. Was going to buy either the MS Bluetooth Mouse or the Mouse/Keyboard combo... Isn't it true that the mouse comes with a bluetooth tranceiver (USB) so what do you need the d-link for?



    Oh and btw. I read somewhere that 10.2.5 added support for MS bluetooth products on the OS level.

    Some users already have one of those, and perhaps others don't want to stick any Microsoft thingy into their machines. :P

    I think some people on the MacNN forums have had some success with the MS BT keyboard and mouse. Give it a look.

    The MS BT adapter isn't "fully supported" (i.e. acts oddly) under X. It's also really big and ugly.
