Has anybody used the "Mirosoft Designer Bluetooth® Mouse" with 13.2

I’m running 13.2 on my Laptop w/ KDE. I’ve just received the BT mouse, and my old USB one is failing fast. When I turn on Bluetooth using the icon in the panel I can pair the new device although it is then listed twice. The first instance shows an icon indicating that it’s a mouse, but when I click on connect nothing happens. When I try the same with the second instance, which has no icon next to it, it indicates that it has connected, but there’s no cursor movement when I move the mouse.

Though I’ve worked on tens of thousands of PCs over the past couple of decades this is my first experience with bluetooth on a PC, so I’m really lost here. Some guidance would be appreciated.

I’d no sooner posted here when I finally found https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bluetooth where I found enough clues to figure out a solution that worked for me.

Go to Kicker>Configure Desktop>Network and Connectivity>Bluetooth
Click on the first instance of Designer mouse to highlight that line, then click the remove button.
Repeat for each instance.
Click browse for devices then click on add device to add the mouse and then it just works as expected.
