I bought an expensive mouse to replace my old one, which still works but is getting a bit iffy.

I got his new one specifically because it has Bluetooth, and I would like to get away from the little dongle (laptops have only so my USB ports).

I have fought for two weeks to get Mint KDE to recognize the mouse. Finally did (don't ask me how); but the OS doesn't recognize it as a mouse.

I'm going to have to use the dongle anyway, until I can figure out how to convince the OS that this is a mouse; or somebody throws together a driver for it...
