Bluetooth-Mouse with Linux

After some hesitation I finally decided last weekend to get a bluetooth-mouse for my Dell Mini 9, because it won't eat up a usb-slot anymore using a real mouse. I hesitated because of the wild critics in different shops (amazon, etc) and the „responds slow“ comments there, and most of the mice start at 35 eur, so it's a bunch of money to waste.

I not only found one below the 30 eur mark, but also think it works well enough espacially for a tool as the Mini is. The Trust Optical Mini Mouse

Yes, it needs about four seconds to get running after switching on, but it seems not to slow me down, so I'm pretty happy not to use any cable or recievers for other wireless mice anymore.

It even was so easy to get it running (ok, beside the buttons away from 3 + wheel). I only used the pairing-device tool (gnome's bluetooth-wizard, because the KDE-tools are broken right now), pushed the button on the backside for about 5 seconds, as the manual said, and the device showed up as „mouse“ in the bluetooth search dialog. There was no security pin asked, because you also would have to turn it down (as the windows desciption says ). The device worked from then on.

Nice buy.
