Dell's new Bluetooth Travel Mouse twists to lie flat for compact storage

Dell's new mouse transforms for easy storage when you're on the go.

What you need to know

• Dell just unveiled its Dell Bluetooth Travel Mouse.
• The mouse can twist around in order to lie flat for compact carrying.
• It can connect to up to three devices through Bluetooth and has an adjustable 4000 DPI.

Dell just announced a new mouse for people on the go. The Dell Bluetooth Travel Mouse has a split-body design that allows it to twist around and lie flat. When compacted, the mouse looks a bit like a flat letter "S." Dell's new mouse launched today, October 12, 2022, for $65.

Twisting isn't the Dell Bluetooth Travel Mouse's only trick. It can also connect to up to three devices through Bluetooth 5.0. Dell calls it the world's first twistable mouse with multi-device Bluetooth connectivity. The mouse also has an adjustable 4000 DPI sensor.

Coming in at 56.9 grams, the Dell Bluetooth Travel Mouse is much lighter than many of the best gaming mice . Its unique design will line it up against the likes of the Surface Arc Mouse and the Logitech Pebble M350. Neither of those mice flips around, but they are also light and have flat form factors.

The design of the Dell Bluetooth Travel Mouse allows it to lie flat when stored and fill the hand with a curved body when in use. That eliminates the poor ergonomics seen in many portable gaming mice.

Dell promises up to 24 hours of battery life for the mouse, which it claims is the most available in a twistable mouse. That's a small subcategory of mice to compare against, but 24 hours is still a fair amount of battery life. The company also offers a 3-year warranty with Dell Advanced Exchange Service.

This unique portable mouse can twist around to lie flat when stored away. When in use, it has an ergonomic curve that fills your hand.

Dell Bluetooth Travel mouse: does not auto-connect on startup

I'm using a Dell BT Travel mouse (PU705) along with Windows 7 (Home basic) in a Dell Inspiron n5110 laptop. I'm able to connect and use the bluetooth mouse. But every time I boot up, I have to go to bluetooth devices, remove this BT mouse from the list, scan for bluetooth devices and re-connect the same mouse manually in order to use it. Is there any way to get it connected automatically on startup or at least to reduce the number of steps to connect? (I'm able to connect my sony sbh20 BT headset with just two clicks)

Thanks in advance

Thank you for keeping us updated.

I’m sorry to know your issue is unresolved still.

The issue must be occurring due to the changes made to the power management settings of Bluetooth driver.

Let us try the following steps and check.

Press Start and select Device Manager.

There you’ll find Bluetooth Adaptor.

Right-click and select Properties .

Then uncheck“ Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power ”

Also, refer to the discussion How to Troubleshoot Bluetooth devices! In the below link and see if that helps.

Let us know if you have any further query on Windows.

Dear Abdul-Malik,

Sorry that I still cannot resolve it.

I couldn't figure out the steps you specified. I'm attaching a screenshot of my device manager, wherein I see a lot of options regarding 'bluetooth'. I am not clear what should I deal with for this issue.

I do notice the yellow 'something is wrong' indicators in some places. Let me add, when I go to the properties of Bluetooth Remote Control under Human Interface Devices, it says 'This device cannot start (code 10)'. However the driver software for the same is shown to be up to date.

How-To Geek

Dell ms700 bluetooth travel mouse review: neat, but heavily flawed.

Does the one cool feature on the Dell MS700 Bluetooth Travel Mouse outweigh its many issues? I'd have to say no.

Quick Links

How the travel mouse works, subpar comfort, this mouse is louder than it should be, three device bluetooth connectivity, dell peripheral manager's limited functionality, should you buy the dell ms700 bluetooth travel mouse, key takeaways.

This mouse is specifically designed for on the go use. It twists flat for easy storage, but that's just about the extent of its pros. It sacrifices both comfort and performance for a slender profile.

Normally, I love when products break from the mold of what's typical. While the Dell MS700 mouse flattens for travel, it lacks the remaining functionalities needed in a travel mouse. It feels gimmicky when a product's overall performance suffers to allow for one semi-useful trick.

The Dell MS700 has a split in the middle of the mouse, so you can rotate half of the peripheral to change its shape. It can either lay flat for travel or it can be arched up for use. I was excited to try out this product as it seemed both intriguing and useful.

When I went to coffee shops to work in the past, I often opted to leave whatever mouse I owned at the time since it didn't fit in my laptop sleeve. There were also a few times when I brought one with me but realized I forgot its Bluetooth dongle.

The twist-and-go nature of this Bluetooth mouse seemed to solve those problems.

The ability to lay the Dell MS700 flat is great for travel. I could easily slip it into my backpack or, more impressively, my laptop sleeve (as seen above) without taking up too much space or adding a huge bump. This feature is pretty nice, but it seems to be just about all the mouse offers.

Unfortunately, as I spent more time using the MS700, the intrigue of the twist started to fade, and more irritations started to surface.

In terms of comfort, having the underside open beneath the middle is a bit weird at first, but you get used to it. My ring finger and pinky often drag alongside the mouse or wrap under it a bit. This often turns my hand slightly, leaving it angled.

This is perfectly fine, that is, until you have to scroll. Scrolling is neither smooth nor instinctual. The touch area for the scroll is narrow, which is particularly problematic since you often find your hand angled.

You either get frustrated because you are only hitting the scroll a fraction of the time, or you have to readjust your hand every time you need to scroll. It feels unnatural no matter how you end up scrolling.

Another issue is that the beveled edges on the bottom of the mouse occasionally catch the skin of my palm and pinch it between the mouse and the surface it's placed on. While it doesn't particularly hurt, it is annoying.

I've used a Microsoft Surface Arc Mouse  before (which features a very similar design) and haven't come across the same discomforts I've encountered here.

Microsoft Arc Mouse

Ultra slim and lightweight Bluetooth mouse that's great for travel.

There are two plastic pads on the bottom of the accessory that sit between whatever surface the mouse is placed on and the mouse itself. When you're sitting at a desk with a mouse pad , there isn't any sound worth noting. Unfortunately, most places where you would be using a portable mouse, such as a café, airport, or library, won't have a mouse pad . Instead, you will have a hard surface.

The plastic pads scrapping across a table sound very scratchy. It isn't subtle, either. With how loud it is, I would be quite irritated if someone else was using this mouse across the table from me at a Starbucks.

This mouse connects to your computer, laptop, tablet, or other electronic devices via Bluetooth. I always prefer using a Bluetooth mouse when working because not being tied to a USB dongle that's plugged into a dock is extremely helpful when I need to bring my laptop into the conference room.

The Dell MS700 can be paired with up to three devices at a time, with the ability to switch between connections by pressing a single button on the bottom of the mouse---which is quite convenient. I have it paired to my work laptop and my personal laptop so it can be used with whatever device I'm traveling with.

It works with both PCs and Macs, but I found it to be significantly easier to connect to a Windows machine. When trying to pair to several Macs, the computers would recognize the mouse for a split second before it disappeared. It took many rounds of racing to click on the mouse in the Bluetooth settings before it vanished. Eventually, the race was won, and the connection was made, but it certainly was annoying.

As soon as the mouse is paired, it works fine with Macs. It is worth noting that mouse settings cannot be customized on Macs since the Dell Peripheral Manager app ( more on this below ) is not compatible with macOS.

Through the Dell Peripheral Manager app (available only on Windows ), you can control which side of the Dell MS700 is the primary click button. This is great because it means the mouse can be used ambidextrously.

You can also select your DPI  between 1000, 1600, 2400, and 4000. I found this range to be fine for a portable mouse (you won't be gaming with this accessory). You can't customize the setting to your exact preference, but it should certainly get you close enough.

One thing you can customize is the scroll speed, but it is very misleading. There is a slider bar that goes from "slow" to "fast." The automatic setting is right in the middle of that range.

When it was at that middle point, I wanted the scroll speed to be more responsive, so I figured I would bump it up slightly. I quickly had the frustrating realization that the UI was just tricking me. It seems like you have a whole wide range of options to allow you to adjust the settings to your preferences, but, instead, there is just "slow" and "fast" with a midpoint in between. Slow is too slow, fast is too fast, but the middle setting doesn't feel right either.

This mouse is technically customizable, but there aren't many options for you.

With all things considered, I don't see the Dell MS700 mouse benefitting many people. It does one cool thing, but there are just too many issues for it to be worth the price tag.

There are plenty of travel mice on the market that aren't quite as flat, but they will give you a better performance. Two great examples of compact travel mice are the Logitech MX Anywhere 2  and the CHERRY MW 9100 Mouse . Both work well, despite not being ultra-thin.
