Connecting Microsoft Wireless Mouse 5000 To Mac Free
Microsoft Wireless Mouse 5000 Setup
Hi everyone,
As a proud new owner of MacBook Pro I can safely say it is one of the finest purchases I have made in recent years. I'm not having many problems, and any that I do, I find solutions with ease. My query is regarding wireless mice connectivity which doesn't seem to be covered in any other posts, probably cos its too obvious.
I don't like the apple mice, as I find them unfortable. I have been a big fan and a long time user of the Microsft Intellimouse Explorer (wired mouse). The newest version, ('Wireless Optical Mouse 5000' or 'Explorer') is extremely comfortable, but before I buy it I want to know if the mouse can connect directly to the Macbook Pro through the laptops bluetooth interface without the bluetooth base station that microsoft provide with the product. The base station connects via a USB port, so it seems pointless to buy a wireless mouse and then take up one of the limited USB ports so that it can communicate with the laptop, when the laptop already has bluetooth functionality. I've tried checking out Microsofts website and there's no info.
Thanks.
