Hello everybody. Question: Once it is paired with one,
I would expect this to be a limitation of the mouse itself, not the BT stack on the computers. Check its documentation to see if it supports several computers. If it says "yes", we could try to devise a way... :-?

Well, the problem seems to be dual fold. One hand the pairing function for 13.2 is broken for BT mice (the problem is known and a won'tfix because it does substantially work in kde5). So it is fixed in Leap. But I found out today that the pairing function for bluetooth devices is broken at least for Samsung GMS smartphones in Leap too. Pairing fails and several odd things happen (like phones that are not paired are still able to be browsed by the PC, etc. I will check if someone did report this already if not open a bug report. Sure is that even if defining a manual PIN this does apparently not allow the mouse to connect if the other notebook/PC sends the correct password. So probably the mouse is limited (which in case of broken pairing function as in 13.2 makes BT mices for 13.2 useless). The logitech documentation of the device is......pitiful. For the time being we decided to use the mouse only on one machine. P.s. Welcome back. --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.

This comes as a shocking surprise to me, and I'm beginning to worry that I should run out an buy some other kind of mouse to replace this Bluetooth mouse I've been using on 13.2 and 12.3 for the last few years without a problem. After all, if its officially broken, it must be some delusion on my part that I use it every day. -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Maybe not.

Indeed. it reminds me of the entry in my DatabaseOfDotSigQuotes (which I'm not allowed to use as a source of random quotes here since one such gave offence to a religious purist) While the source of this is a book by the late great Terry Pratchett which discusses a religion on Diskworld, I'll take a chance that a clearly fictional setting can be taken as such and not as intended to give offence to any specific REAL group. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Tortoise: 'How many talking tortoises have you met?'

Oh no, not you too John! We've enough people posing here displaying delusions as it is. And I'm not excluding myself from that group.
