Dell Mobile Pro Wireless Mouse - MS5120W Ubuntu 20.04
Hello,
I have a Dell Mobile Pro Mouse connected via Bluetooth very well on Windows 11 with no issues. My machine is dual boot as I need Ubuntu 20.04 for my work. The problem is the mouse is detected as a Bluetooth device but can not be paired.
Since I tried to pair it multiple times, I noticed multiple "Dell Mouse" devices in the list. I surfed the internet to remove all previous incidents from the Bluetooth devices list and found this answer
I turned off the mouse and then removed all of the "Dell Mouse" addresses using the remove command.
I turned off Bluetooth, then waited a few seconds and turned the Bluetooth discovery on.
I turned on the mouse and clicked on the bottom button for 3 seconds and mouse LED is flashing.
It was shown again on the Bluetooth list and clicked on it.
Now a message shows that a device wants to pair and I clicked "Allow"

Thank you for reaching out to us. I’d be glad to look into this for you right away. As our interaction would involve sharing personally identifiable information, I would recommend that you private message us so that we can start working toward a resolution.
Thank you so much. The private support I got is the laptop came with Windows 11 , so you can't help with Ubuntu ! Thanks but that was the worst response I ever received. I can share a screenshot if you prefer of this elegant response. Thanks for being so lazy to help.
