    Heh - I really do love my laptop - but here's a question - anyone have both this laptop and a logitech bluetooth mouse? The idea came upon me to connect my bluetooth mouse with this laptop, which worked quite well!
    However! The toshiba bluetooth controller included (BT-183 2.0) isn't compatible with the logitech setpoint software (tried using the upgraded bluetooth stack drivers 5.00 as well). So no setpoint love for me :( The mouse tracks, and buttons are working in the default pattern, but I can't adjust them really well at all. It's a really nice option, just want it to work in a full implementation, is all. If I ever did get it working, a completely wireless (and dongleless) mouse option would present itself with the notebook!
    Odd and really very specific question, I know. Anyone who's got any knowledge on it, however? Thanks for reading this far!

    I'm also looking for such a program for my W3J and Logitech BT mouse. Unfortunately, SetPoint is based on the WIDCOMM BT stack, meaning it is not compatible with the Toshiba stack, currently used in all ASUS Ensemble notebooks.

    The only alternative is to remove the Toshiba stack, and replace it with WIDCOMM. I've done this before with my old Acer laptop, and it worked quite well .. Honestly though, I prefer the Toshiba stack interface .. It's a lot cleaner, and much easier to use.

    Good luck !

    EDIT: check out this thread for a similar discussion.
