A top-notch accessory that can enhance your computing experience is the ThinkPad mouse. Sometimes it can be difficult to connect the mouse to your laptop, but we can help. Make sure your laptop has Bluetooth connectivity and that the mouse is turned on before we begin.
Step-by-Step Instructions for Connecting a ThinkPad Mouse to a Laptop
Turn on Bluetooth on your laptop in step one. You must make sure that your laptop's Bluetooth is turned on before you can connect your ThinkPad mouse to it. To do this, open your laptop's Windows button and type "Bluetooth settings." into the search bar. Once you've located it, click on it to activate the Bluetooth toggle switch.
Step 2: Set the pairing mode on your ThinkPad mouse.
The next step is to activate pairing mode on your ThinkPad mouse. To accomplish this, turn on the mouse and maintain pressure on the pairing button—which is typically found at the mouse's base—until the LED light begins to flash. This shows that pairing mode has been activated on the mouse.
Step 3: Look for Bluetooth devices on your laptop
Once your ThinkPad mouse is in pairing mode, search for Bluetooth devices on your laptop. To do this, select Windows and then type "Bluetooth and other devices." into the search bar. Choose it by clicking it, then select "Add Bluetooth or other device." There will be a pop-up window with different device possibilities.
Connect your ThinkPad mouse in step four.
Click the "Bluetooth" option in the pop-up box. Your laptop will start looking for nearby Bluetooth devices. Click on your ThinkPad mouse when it shows on the list, then select "Pair." Your laptop will automatically establish a connection with the mouse, and the mouse's LED light will cease blinking to show that the connection has been made.
Step 5: Verify the connection
It's time to check the connection after you've connected your ThinkPad mouse to your laptop. Drag the mouse around to confirm that it is functioning appropriately. Congratulations! Your ThinkPad mouse and laptop have now been successfully connected.
