Hi.
I have used the Microsoft Bluetooth "Notebook Mouse 5000" on several
Thinkpads, X200, X220, X240 on many releases of Fedora, now F21
In fact I haven't used it until now on the X240 because I wanted to get 
used to
the touchpad (which has greatly improved IMO).
This post made me curious so I paired the mouse, shutdown the computer,
rebooted and immediately had the mouse, as it was on the previous
two thinkpads.
Overall this has been a very good mouse and is a nice small size for 
laptop use.
I continue to use it on the X200 although that is running W7.

good luck.
