Same here, however I'm pretty sure these things actually are BT under the hood. I have a Microsoft kb/mouse combo with dongle and nothing on the labelling or box mentions BT anywhere, but under "lsusb" I see "Bus 001 Device 003: ID 045e:0745 Microsoft Corp. Nano Transceiver v1.0 for Bluetooth". I use the kb all the time, but the mouse is kept handy for when I need to turn on BT for the other mouse! It acts exactly like a USB wired mouse and *never* fails to connect. (I don't like the scroll wheel, which is why I use the other one for normal work). poc -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
