Thanks, yes, I think that's the one I have (although it doesn't actually say
"V470" on it anywhere ...).

Regarding the Google search, NoOp, thanks, but did you look at any of them?
They're not helpful; and it's cute that many of the top hits are these
mailing list posts :-).

I have searched and worked a bit on it. I also reported on launchpad, which
didn't help. I could try harder; but it seems like Bluetooth in Ubuntu is
black magic (or a black box, in any case). So I sort of decided that for the
cost of a new a mouse I could save myself some trouble. It would just be
reassuring for someone on the list to say "I have this mouse and I got it to
work."

I guess I'll see if this mouse I have is actually a V470, or just buy a new
one at a place where I can return it if necessary.
