Question 1

Will this mouse work with a MacBook Pro?

Accepted Answer

tl;dr - It may work but it is unsupported. Don't be surprised by bugs.The mouse connected with my 2012 MacBook Pro (El Capitan) but it disconnected anywhere from 1 minute to a few hours. This is the response from when I contacted customer support:"the device is compatible with Mac system theoretically but only as the particularity of the Mac system, it is difficult for us to promise it will work with Mac perfectly in all situations, your kindly understanding will much appreciated"

Question 2

How can I get this to connect more consistently in Windows 8.1? Everytime I wake my computer I have to reconnect?

Accepted Answer

How are you waking up your computer? Via the mouse or some other method?Do realize that this mouse goes to sleep to preserve it's battery. So to get the mouse to wake up I hit the right mouse button once.Then to get the computer to come out of sleep, I hit the right mouse button again which will cause the computer to come out of sleep.The mouse should automatically reconnect using the above unless you physically turned the switch on the bottomw of the mouse to off.If you don't use the mouse to wake up the computer, then just hitting the right mouse button once after the computer is up should cause the wakeup of the mouse and auto-re-connection, but it's less reliable.

Question 3

Will it work on a chromebook

Accepted Answer

This will not pair with either of the Asus 13-inch chromebooks (purchased in late 2014 from Amazon) I own. The mouse pairs fine with my Windows 7 PC, but gives an "authentication cancelled" soon after I try to pair it with either Chromebook.  The manual for this mouse also makes no mention of it working with Chrome. Chrome is supposed to work with any Bluetooth, but if that's true why doesn't Tecknet add it to its list of supported operating systems in the owner's manual and why didn't it work on my newer Chromebooks???
