Hi again, I’m enjoying Friendly Fossa 9.5, and it’s mostly meeting my needs, but I’d like to install a wireless mouse. I have a very nice (and expensive) Logitech M720 bluetooth mouse that worked fine on this computer under Windows 10, but I’ve uninstalled Windows in favor of FriendlyFossa. I’ve tried the Janky BT application that comes with FossaPup 9.5, but the bluetoothctl window that pops up when I hit the “Start Bluetooth” button doesn’t allow me to type anything into it. I’ve not been able to try anything further, to see if that mouse would work. Any idea how to get the bluetoothctl window to behave? Perhaps I should try a different bluetooth tool? Suggestions? Note I’ve tried the standard fossapup64 9.5 installation, with identical results, so I don't think this problem is specific to Friendly Fossa.
I’ll need to buy a new mouse, since I use that Logitech M720 on a different computer. (I’m trying to set up “His and Her” laptops so the wife and I can both compute at the same time, while on the road.) Can anyone recommend a specific wireless mouse that is known to work with FossaPup64 9.5, and is easy to set up? I’d prefer a Bluetooth mouse, since the laptop has bluetooth built in and only two USB ports, so it would be nice to retain both the USB ports, but I’d consider a simple wireless mouse that uses a USB dongle. Particularly given the trouble I’m having getting BT started on this laptop, it might be easier to use something tried and true (and hopefully cheaper than the M720). Any suggestions? FWIW, I'm in the USA.
