Revainrating 5 out of 5

It worked right away without installing any driver on Win 7

Worked great unlike others. Some time ago I accidentally bought a Bluetooth mouse (MS Comfort Mouse) and it didn't come with an adapter. I think they assumed most buyers would be tablet/laptop users, a fair guess. My return period ended so I bought the adapter here at Revain. Those were the only problems. I finally got it to work by plugging in the mouse in windows safe mode but it kept falling out even though the adapter was only 5ft away and plugged into the top ports on my computer and it wouldn't reconnect associate. I downloaded the drivers from the website and did other troubleshooting steps and nothing made it a reliable and well-working mouse. Months and months and months went by and I was fed up with my 5 year old mouse with rapidly wearing out batteries and a big receiver. compared to newer ones. So I decided to try another receiver. Plugged it in, Boom Windows 7 recognized it. Turned the mouse on in pairing mode and in almost the time it took to put the mouse down and look at the screen it was recognized and working. It's been so long, maybe Windows fixed something through a Windows update, or maybe this receiver is based on a different chipset. It seems that all Bluetooth receivers work better for some and not for others. But this worked great for me and I don't notice any difference to a conventional wireless mouse. I will update this review after trying it on Linux.

Pros
  • Handy thing
Cons
  • So far so good
