Since this is the only mouse that’s rechargeable from microsoft, I wanted to buy it to use it with my Surface Pro 6, are they compatible?
Absolutely yes! They’re both working great together.
I am trying to connect the mouse with two laptops but it seems impossible, Once I pair in to one laptop is immediately disconnects from the other. Is there a way around it?
There are three Bluetooth IDs available on Microsoft Surface Precision Mouse. You need to use a different ID for each computer you want to connect to. And to switch between IDs (1,2,3) you simply turn on the mouse and press the Bluetooth button next to the power switch.
And if you want to use Precision Mouse across multiple PCs at the same time, first you need to pair each PC with different IDs and install Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center to activate this feature.
