Microsoft Designer Bluetooth Mouse is not detected in 10.10.3

Microsoft Designer Bluetooth Mouse is not getting detected as a bluetooth mouse on OSX 10.10.3. During pairing, it just shows up as a bluetoth device and after some time, there is a popup that no mouse is connected. Also, when you try to add the mouse though Mouse->Add a Bluetooth Mouse screen, the mouse is not gettng detected.

But the mouse works once its paired, but its not seen as a Mouse by OSX. Its just being detected as a generic bluetooth device.

Mac mini, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

I've been at it all day trying to get the MS Designer Bluetooth Desktop to pair with my new MacBook Air. Can't get the keyboard to pair. The item looks beautiful, the price is reasonable and it has a number pad. Unfortunately, it doesn't work and Microsoft support is awful. I now remember why I switched to Apple in the first place. This is not worth the trouble and is going back in the morning.
