Connecting a Wireless Mouse

#1 Post by Gigahenry007 »

Dear Friends.

Trust all is well...

I have a blackweb Wireless Bluetrace Mouse. model. BWA15H0124.

Can't get it to connect. When I first had this laptop all I had to do was turn the mouse on and it was detected aka useful.

The majority of the time I use the touchpad, but on certain occasions I'd like to use the mouse cause it tends to be quicker to respond. I'd like to option to use the wireless mouse at will.

Any help or suggestions welcomed.

Grazie,
Raffaelo
;)

Just checking, you did put the dongle into the computer?

Turn the mouse on (new battery), and then in a terminal do:

Code: Select all

lsusb


You should see the mouse listed in the output.

What worked? Did you use the dongle, or replace the battery, or just switch it on?

The MX Test repository is mostly backports; not the same as Debian testing

Thank you for asking.
Yes, I did use the dongle, the battery voltage was fine, it was switch on and the code entered.

Nope. He already did it the correct way. (That one is the old way).
