I got a bluetooth mouse and was actually amazed, after a quick bit of

apt install bluetooth pulseaudio-module-bluetooth blueman bluez-firmware

then opening up bluetooth manager I got my bluetooth mouse working first time!

I hit search after putting the mouse in pairing mode, it was discovered so i right clicked on it and selected pair.

Once paired I right clicked on it and selected setup, this allowed me to add it as a HID to the system.

I’m not much of a mouse user, but its kind of essential when playing minecraft with your son ><
