    Try this in order:

    1. Put the mouse back into pairing mode.
      • Press and hold the pairing button on the mouse for 5–7 seconds.
      • The light should blink to show the mouse is discoverable.
      • The pairing button is usually on the bottom of the mouse.
    2. Add it again in Windows.
      • Go to Start > Settings > Devices > Bluetooth & other devices.
      • Make sure Bluetooth is turned on.
      • Select Add Bluetooth or other device > Bluetooth.
      • Select the mouse from the list, then finish the prompts.
    3. If the mouse does not appear:
      • Check that it has power. If the light does not come on, replace or recharge the batteries.
      • Turn airplane mode on for 10–15 seconds, then turn it off.
      • Turn off other Bluetooth devices connected to the PC, because too many Bluetooth devices can interfere.
    4. If the pairing light flashes three times and then turns off:
      • The mouse is already paired to another PC nearby.
      • Remove it from that other PC first, then pair it again on the current PC.
    5. If Bluetooth is on but the mouse still cannot be found:
      • Remove the device again if it still appears anywhere in Bluetooth devices, then pair it again.
      • Restart the PC to refresh drivers.
      • If the Bluetooth icon is missing but Bluetooth still appears in Device Manager, uninstall the Bluetooth adapter in Device Manager, then shut down and turn the PC back on so Windows reinstalls it automatically.
    6. If Windows asks for a PIN:
      • Check the mouse documentation or the mouse itself for a PIN.
      • If none is available, try 0000 or 1234.

    Hi, let me help you.

    Start by turning the mouse off and on again, or by holding down the pairing button (BT3.0/BT5.2 mice usually have a small button underneath; hold it for 3-5 seconds until the light starts flashing fast). That flashing light means it's ready to be discovered.

    Then on your Windows 11 laptop, go to Settings, then Bluetooth & devices, and make sure Bluetooth is turned on. Click "Add device," choose Bluetooth as the type, and wait a few seconds. Your mouse should show up in the list as something like "BT3.0 Mouse" or similar. Click on it, and it should pair right away; no PIN or code is usually needed for mice.

    If it doesn't show up at all, try turning your laptop's Bluetooth off and back on, and also double-check the mouse still has battery or fresh batteries, since a low battery can stop it from broadcasting properly.
