Fastest way to reconnect Bluetooth mouse?

walchan99 · 04-06-2004, 09:32 PM

Using PB 15"/1.25 with an Apple Bluetooth mouse. When connection is lost because of sleep/range, the mouse doesn't reconnect, although paired and discoverable. I usually go through 'Set up Bluetooth device' all over again, but can't believe there's no faster way. Any suggestions, please?

Also, is there a 2-button alternative that works reliably with Panther?

Usually, all I have to do is click my mouse's button a few times. If that doesn't work, turning it off and then back on (with the slider over the light) before clicking usually does the trick.

As for 2 buttons, I don't know. For some reason, I didn't think of getting a bluetooth two button before I bought this... and I would like to use it for a few more months before throwing 70$ away.

A few clicks. Now why didn't I think of that, instead of just wiggling my mouse away?

Clicking worked perfectly. Thank you.

And I'm not in much of a hurry to throw away my $62 either. Think I'll just buy a cheap wired 2-button in addition.
