I have a Sondstrom mouse which used to autoconnect until I updated to
Plasma-5. Now it has to be connected manually when I log in, so I need
another mouse to do that. Curiously, the other mouse is part of a
Microsoft wireless kb/mouse combo and it autoconnects every time (the
combo comes with its own dongle, the Sondstrom has a separate Broadcom
dongle). In case you're wondering why I don't just use it instead, the
Sondstrom has better build and a much nicer scroll wheel action.

I've had three Logitech BT mice in the past, and they've all developed
hardware faults after a few months of use.
