The “sudo hidd –search” command resolved everything . But the mouse must is in in pairing mode!

Everything is ok now! I run
echo hidp | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
and set
HIDD_OPTIONS=”–connect 00:XX:61:XX:F9:XX –server”

Your guide works well but when I turn off the mouse and turn on again it does not work.
hidd –search founds nothing because the mouse is already paired and hidd –connect fails with “Can’t get device information: Host is down”.
The only way to make it working again is to press reset button on the mouse and pair it with hidd –search
I have the same mouse as you.
Can anybody help?

WOW! It just decided to work now. I simply had to do it a few times. UGH! perhaps some warning of some sort might be in order. suffice to say, now it works.

I am attempting to do this with this mouse, but an IBM Thinkpad X60s. The result, when attempting the “hidd -connect –:–:–:–:–:–” is, “Can’t get device information: Host is down”.

Hmm……
