Do I have to use the S mouse or will any bluetooth mouse work?

I just want to know if the S mouse is any different then any other BT mouse. If so, what suggestions do you have? I didn't want to spend to much money on the mouse. I won't be using it that often.

Welcome to Android Central! Any Bluetooth mouse should work fine for basic mouse functions. I have this one, which works fine: New Motorola Wireless Bluetooth Mouse for Smart Phones Tablets and Laptops | eBay

The reason I ask is because I bought a BT mouse (a cheap one) that came with a dongle. The tablet does not see the mouse. Do I need to get a mouse without a dongle?

Are you sure it's a Bluetooth mouse? The dongle might be a 2.4 GHz wireless transmitter, rather than Bluetooth. The only reason for a dongle would be to allow a computer that doesn't have Bluetooth built-in to be able to use it--the dongle would therefore be a USB Bluetooth adapter.

Do you see the Bluetooth symbol anywhere on the mouse or the packaging? Apologies if this is a dumb question, but for those without lots of experience, it can be easy to mistake a wireless mouse for a Bluetooth mouse.

Hmmm. I do not see the Bluetooth symbol. It must have been a 2.4 GHz mouse.

Try the Motorola Bluetooth mouse linked above. It's cheap, and works well.
