I really want to use the Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse (https://www.microsoft.com/accessories/en-us/products/mice/arc-touch-mouse/rvf-00052) with the Tab S2. it just folds flat and can be slipped into the pocket. I could pair it easily with the Tab S2 but this is where the problem starts. The Tab S2 recognizes it as an input device of the type "Keyboard" and not a mouse. It however works great with the other Microsoft Designer Mouse but somehow doesn't recognize the Arc Touch mouse.

I have the same set up. For me the mouse only pairs by holding down the Bluetooth button for several seconds. Then it connects but does not function. No cursor etc

MS Arc mouse on Note 4

I have the same set up. For me the mouse only pairs by holding down the Bluetooth button for several seconds. Then it connects but does not function. No cursor etc
Did anyone manage to get a workaround for this? I am desperate to get this working with my note 4. I have a foldable MS keyboard which pairs no probs and this mouse would make my mobile office (along with Citrix receiver and win 10 vms) complete. Any ideas?
