This is a problem I’ve found with the Magic Mouse even on a Mac. Update: If you’re using High Sierra and looking for Bootcamp drivers (2018 latest MacOS, visit this article to learn more about Bootcamp drivers). If you find this is the case, let me know and I will see if I can find a way to make that happen. Note, I’ve heard the drivers may not persist past a reboot. assuming you have a Snow Leopard install disk. However, you may have to go to Control Panel->Mouse and readjust the speed and acceleration as it gets reset after the installation. When complete, the gestures will be enabled. In this folder you will find a file called AppleWirelessMouse64.exe / AppleWirelessMouse.exe. This is exactly what you need.įrom here (assuming your DVD mounts on M:), go to M:\Boot Camp\Drivers\Apple\圆4 or M:\Boot Camp\Drivers\Apple (for 32 bit). Once inserted into Windows, the Boot Camp partition should pop up. Instead, you need to locate a copy of the Snow Leopard (or perhaps even a Lion) DVD. Oh, don’t bother running over to and looking for them, you’ll only find a bunch of updates that don’t contain the driver. To get the full (or at least as full as you’re going to get with Windows) gestures working (like vertical scrolling) with the Magic Mouse, you need to install Apple’s drivers from Boot Camp. So, how do you get scrolling working? Note, if you need specific instructions on setting up a bluetooth device, leave a comment below and I’ll post step-by-step instructions.
Hmm, it makes this mouse less than ideal. Anyway, once you’ve gotten it paired and working, you’ll quickly notice something is missing. This driver doesn’t support any of the touch gestures. The trouble is, it loads a 2006 generic Microsoft mouse driver. Then, select the device and follow the wizard to complete the pairing.
Just turn on the mouse and add a new bluetooth device. It really makes no sense to create peripherals and tie them to only a tiny fraction of the overall computer market, especially when they’ve already written drivers for the other half of the market! Here’s hoping for some change. As much as I admired Steve Jobs, his ideas about an Apple-centric universe were a bit over-the-top. Here’s one part of Apple that I hope changes with the new regime stepping in. Yet, thanks to Apple, it isn’t and, in fact, took me about 20 minutes to do something that should have taken me 2. Ok, so here’s a topic that you would think would be easy to do.
