I just started using the Lenovo Bluetooth Laser Mouse. So far so good. I have had no trouble at all with this mouse. It comes back quickly after periods of inactivity. The cursor movement is fast and precise. The buttons have a solid and muted click to them, which is nice. Plus, I like the matte black finish.

Yes, i agree, mouse is excelent,

but i have problem with bluetooth HW, on my Thinkpad Z61m working incorectly... look on my previous posting...

I think this issue, can be solved only replacing bluetooth card

I have a X41 running Windows XP Tablet.  I just installed a Lenovo Bluetooth Mouse with Lenovo Mouse Suite.  Everything works wells with one exception.  In Control Panel:Mouse: Buttons - the check box to switch buttons on a mouse is grayed out.  So now I can't switch the buttons on my trackpoint.  This is a big problem, as I am lefthanded and can't use the default option.  I tried reinstalling the drivers for the trackpoint, nothing changed.  The checkbox is only available when I uninstall the bluetooth driver.  Anyone have any ideas for me?  I'm ready to send back my mouse, which I love.  Lenovo service was no help at all.

Yes I have just bought one, the mouse is good but I seem to have a software problem. 

I can change and apply the vertical scroll wheel settings via control panels but find that if I leave the mouse unnatended for some time it always reverts back to the factory setting of one line per click, most annoying.

has anyone else experienced this

Just got one of these to use with my X200s running Vista Business and Mouse Suite 6.23.

It's a little smaller than expected but otherwise very impressed so far.  I wasn't sure whether I would have to reconnect on power up but, after initial setup, it pairs automatically. deansyorath - I have set the scroll wheel to 5 lines per click and it keeps this setting fine.

I have a 45K1280 ThinkPad Bluetooth Laser Mouse on a T500 (XP) with the same issues.  Random disconnections of the mouse. 

I've noticed that when it's disconnected, if I go to My Bluetooth Places\Entire Bluetooth Neighborhood and double-click the only entry (the ThinkPad laser mouse), the status is "disconnected".. if I then move the mouse around a bit, within a second it reconnects again.

I have similar issue on a T61 (XP) with the 45K1280 but on this one, it stutters for about 10 secs, really slow movement, and then comes back to normal again.  I was so annoying that I had to ditch that mouse altogether and go with a USB mouse instead.

very frustrating that these particular ThinkPad accessories dont work with the ThinkPads!
