Seriously… I’m grateful for this. After an hour of only finding the idiotic instructions you just described – I found your article and I’m so grateful. Now can we just get them to put the damn charge port on the FRONT of the mouse instead of the bottom so we can actually use the damn thing if it’s charging?! 😅😂 thank you again
THE REAL DEAL. Major major props. THIS ACTUALLY WORKS. It is shocking and horrific that so many articles claim that they’re going to teach you how to connect a wireless mouse and then they tell you to maneuver around your desktop screen to access the Apple menu or turn on Bluetooth. How the heck are you supposed to do any of that if you don’t have a working mouse for the moving cursor???? It is maddening that they don’t just say: 1 Boot up your desktop 2-Connect your mouse to your desktop with a USB charging cable 3. Wait 30-60 seconds 4. Disconnect the cable from your mouse 5. Your mouse (and cursor!) are ready to go! It is just unreal and from the bottom of my heart thank you. I will try to pay it forward and to pass it forward with another article. @howtomechanic
