I primarily use two computers, a personal HP Envy laptop and a Surface Pro 3 for work. Both run Windows 8.1 Pro. Because the SP3 only has one USB port, I decided to get a Bluetooth mouse, the Microsoft Sculpt Comfort.
It works great, aside from one major issue. Anytime I switch to the other computer, I have to re-pair the device. It will not work automatically. Once I pair it again, it works fine, until I decide to use it on the other computer.
Now, I'm not trying to use it at the same time on both. Let's say I use the SP3 during the day, then later at night, I'll put away the SP3 and boot up my personal laptop. I'll turn off the mouse and turn it back on. I tried removing the batteries and putting them back in.
Are Bluetooth mice only capable of storing pairing data with one computer at a time, where it needs to be re-paired each time that device changes?
