Now that the mouse is paired and trusted, click setup, choose input service and then click "forward".Once the mouse pairs, click the golden star icon within the Bluetooth Manager so the mouse is trusted.Click the Microsoft Sculpt Comfort Mouse, and then click the key icon (pairing icon).Press and hold down the pairing button on the bottom of the mouse until you get a solid flashing blue light (slowly flashing about 1 flash per second).
Open Bluetooth manager (should work with any manager, but I used specifically Bluetooth manager).
The correct steps to pair this mouse that worked are below: I figured out that I was not actually pairing it correctly each time I paired. So, I searched through the internet and tried multiple things from the Ubuntu community including removing and repairing my mouse at which point it would not repair. I probably paired it incorrectly the first time as well. The screensaver came on and a few hours later I came back to use my computer and my mouse was not working. My Microsoft Sculpt Comfort Mouse paired fine and then I left the computer for the day. I am sure if you are pairing your mouse incorrectly it wont work. NOTE: In other Linux distros, the path of the file pin-code-database.xml may be different! This should solve most reconnection issues because Ubuntu doesn't know or store the PIN # when you pair the first time when it tries to reconnect. I'd restart after this just to make sure everything's in order. Tag - because the entries match in the order of appearance! IMPORTANT: Insert at the beginning of the file, just below the starting Insert that line with the rest of the entries in /usr/share/gnome-bluetooth/pin-code-database.xml So if your bluetooth mouse's address is AB:CD:EF:GH:IJ:KL Make sure to include the last colon like so oui="xx:xx:xx:" Then paste the first half of your bluetooth address as the OUI. Open a terminal and type the command hcitool scan
Press the bluetooth mouse's discovery mode. Go vanilla and just leave the original Ubuntu bluetooth software to rule out any conflicts. Uninstall/purge blueman-manager or any extra bluetooth software. Basically the first half of your MAC address says it's made by Microsoft, though mice from the same company may have different OUIs for whatever reason.įor this step start from scratch and lets start the process of elimination. OUI stands for Organizational Unique Identifier. I believe it's the first half of your bluetooth mouse's address. If it's not that then you probably have the wrong OUI. Try it again but remove this part name="Microsoft Sculpt Comfort Mouse"
