Lenovo ideapad Miix 10, I am handicapped and need to use a bluetooth mouse as well as the folio keyboard, but I cannot because the docking clip obscures the mini usb socket, does anyone know if there is an adapter whereby I can use the charging socket as a mini usb for a mouse,it,s a single pin charger, I don,t want to sell the machine as I quite like it, BUT if no mini usb socket, it.ll have to go, tried contacting Lenovo support,to be met with a devastating blast of NOTHING
 
You shouldn't need to physically connect the mouse to the tablet, the tablet has built in Bluetooth so you just connect the mouse wirelessly.
 
Solution
Nope, that tablet has the Bluetooth built in, so no adapter needed. On the tablet you open the Bluetooth settings, put it in discovery mode and then turn on the discovery mode on the mouse and it will pair. If you give me the model number of the mouse I can probably find the instructions.
