Hey all. I recently bought a Surface Pro 2. I later bought a Surface Arc Mouse. Long story short, I had to return my Surface. So, as of now I am on my laptop and I cannot get my laptop's bluetooth to discover my mouse (it's in discovery mode).

I tried googling around and couldn't find anything. Am I stuck?

    People keep beating the "This is a special edition for the surface" but the PC specific one has the same limitation. No Win7 support. Disappointing as hell. Guess its time to go back to Logitech Mice. What a waste of $$$. Nobody would think to ensure that Win7 is supported while looking at specs because you would think it would be a given....

    Their ad use in the online store (non-Microsoft) is misleading. They place the mouse with a normal laptop not Surface. And the description says compatible with most of the laptops and even big numbers of Android devices.

    Update: having had time to read above:

    bik3much replied on 

    Researched the various hardware for the various Lenovo models, downloaded the driver and called the help desk to get an Admin to install, it works just fine on the T540p running Windows 7 Pro.  Still seems like an optimal situation for a QR code on the box, or a few words about hardware / OS compatibility.

    I don't remember exactly what driver it was.  Go to the Dell website, enter your product info and find the area for drivers and downloads.  Download and install all the latest Bluetooth drivers.  Good luck!

    Not working for me. I just downloaded driver released date 13 Feb 2015. Still not working... sigh...

    I have similar issue to pair with my Dell Ultrabook running Windows 7. But it can pair with my Macbook... with some hiccups too.
