sry if this is quick, but I've only got my axim x51v.

Can I use a bt mouse with my axim? I'm using the widcomm bt stack.

I'll give you a half answer. I don't know if the X51V supports the HID profile or not (MS or Widcomm BT), BUT, I don't think either would give you a pointer. The profile supports using a Human Interface Device, like a mouse or a keyboard. If you get a ThinkOutside BT mouse however, the driver they include, does add a pointer when you enable and connect the mouse.

I'd like one that I can use with my laptop as well.

You can use the Think Outside BT mouse. I don't know about others.

What If i was to get a thinkoutside keyboard, and THEN try to use a different mouse? Maybe the drivers for the keyboard would give me a pointer for my mouse. I'm just thinking that since the Thinkoutside mouse supposedly works with Windows XP, its probably just a standard mouse. The Thinkoutside drivers may not know the difference between its own mouse and any standard HID mouse.

I would get a thinkoutside mouse, but it is very small, and it costs twice as much as most mice do. I'm on a budget, and I'd rather have a bigger mouse.

I reposted this question to try to generate some more answers. I was posting this question from my Axim, and I couldn't give you much detail.
