Yes, a bluetooth mouse works well, but there a glitch in Win 8.1 that seems to make my mouse hang a little. I hope they address it soon.

I believe any Bluetooth mouse will work! Bluetooth has almost endless compatibility options.

I don't know about the mouse, but the keyboard is built specifically to work with Android, with appropriate shortcut buttons. It will however work with any Bluetooth device, you just won't have the same shortcuts.

The mouse uses a standard-sized USB port. If your device has a port to accept the plug-in it should work just fine.

Yes. I love this mouse. The only problem I ever have is if I use the 'airplane mode' button on my laptop. Turning Bluetooth back on is a real pain

Well, I have an Acer A300 Tablet and it has Bluetooth and the Dell mouse works great for me. So I would assume your Bluetooth will be able to find it when it does a search for any Bluetooth devices.

I haven't tested it myself, but it should work just fine. It's just a BT mouse, so there should be no issues

Yes, wired or wireless mice work, I use a microsoft wireless mouse, works wonderfully.

I don't think this one does. I've bought the two types, (this one I think uses the little USB wireless thing) the bluetooth one was more expensive. I think you can find in on amazon, it mentions bluetooth on the title. Great great mouse, totally worth paying for the bluetooth, I've been using mine everyday for work (as a graphic designer) for almost a year. Amazing battery life and accuracy.Edit: I see now it says bluetooth on the title, but I don't remember buying the bluetooth version on amazon. It should have it I suppose, I paid about 45 for it on ebay. I think this one should be just as good. I don't think this one does.

I had the same question when I saw this mouse. Searching the user reviews for "bluetooth" shows this mouse is NOT bluetooth compatible. The mouse specs say "Bluetrack technology", but it apparently requires the USB dongle. Hopefully MS will release a future Arc Touch mouse that supports bluetooth. I'd like to replace my laptop travel bluetooth mouse with a portable flat designed mouse like this one.

Yes, all Bluetooth mice can be used with Windows 8 without any extra/special software...

Sharon, Yes it connects through bluetooth. Not sure about a mouse but I am sure there may be one that could bluetooth connect. I will check into that. :)

If by Bluetooth, you mean wireless capability, it does. We connect to our wireless printer using it. Are getting a wireless mouse as well.

The Microsoft mouse eats more batteries than you can afford... and the bluetooth barely works with Windows systems. A lot of dropped connections and re-installs. I bought the Logitech mouse with the dongle and it just works, and I have the same set of batteries in it for over a year.Short answer: No... I don't think anyone would be happy with this mouse.

I don't think that technology is ready for mice. There are a lot of problems. Just google for BT problems with mouse. I have a Bluetooth Samsung laptop. I already used 2 BT mouse. It worked for a few months. The laptop stopped recognizing the mouse. I can see the mouse from my phone but not the laptop. I will not buy BT mouse anymore... Perhaps that is the reason why they don't manufacture BT mice. NANO USB works much better...

I'm not sure. I don't know how you'd go about that. Personally I'd just say to go with a bluetooth mouse in addition to this if you need it.

I think it's been designed for Apple's wireless keyboard exclusively. It works with all the iPads (and probably any non-Apple tablet). I honestly don't know if a Bluetooth mouse will work on the iPad.
