Pair a bluetooth mouse directly with Macbook Air
I have Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Mouse, which has a dedicated Bluetooth receiver USB dongle. When I plug it in on the left-hand side of the laptop and the mouse is physically on the right-hand side of the laptop, there is some kind of interference and the mouse does not work, it only works when the mouse is physically on the left-hand side of the laptop, closer to the dongle. Is there a way to pair the mouse directly with the built-in Bluetooth in the Macbook Air so I don't have to use the USB dongle? It is Macbook Air 13" 2020, and Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Mouse.
- The mouse has a fixed connection to the dongle, you can not use a normal bluetooth connection
- Once the bluetooth dongle fails or you lose it, you can't simply buy a new dongle, since you are unable to pair the mouse to it again. This means once you will end up with a useless mouse
Note: You have to dig a little deeper into the reviews/questions for example here on Amazon to verify that you can not buy dongle replacements
