Corded Mighty Mouse only middle-clicks in bootcamped Win7

... whereas in OSX, middle click ceased to function.
So let me explain this further:
I have a corded Mighty Mouse, model number: A 1152
In OSX Snow Leopard, it is only capable of left clicking. I don't know why right and middle click won't work (the wheel also only goes up). In System preferences I have set Left and Middle buttons to Left click; right button to right click. But I use ctrl+click because right click won't work. So, I'm pretty much used to this setup although the Mighty Mouse is only a year or two old.
Then I installed Win7 via boot camp. Clicking was weird during installation so I managed to get over it with the keyboard (which works fine btw). But then, after installing all the updates and the windows support software it still only middle clicks. Sometimes, maybe depending on certain pressure angles on the mouse, it will do a normal Left click, but the next click is mostly middle.
So how come middle click doesn't exist while in Snow Leopard but in Win7 there is only middle click?

did you use osx bootcamp to make a windows driver disc ? if not do so

  • Corded Mighty Mouse Stops Working Sporadically

    Hey All,
    For some reason, my USB corded mighty mouse stop working when I stop moving it. The pointer remains on the screen, but it doesn't move around. The trackball & all the buttons still work, even when the pointer doesn't move. I don't understand why its doing this. It just started recently. Sometimes if I unplug the mouse and plug it back in, it will work again, but it won't work if I stop using it. The only way I can keep it working is keep the mouse constantly moving around. I'd appreciate any feedback that you guys have.
    Thanks

    There might be a short in the cord. The area where the cord goes into the mouse body is especially susceptible to this due to flexing back an forth. You can also inspect the cord for any visible damage. It is intermittent, because it depends on how the cord is bending at the time it happens.

    Does replugging help? Could you post a full dmesg including the attempt to replug (please annotate).

  • Does Mighty Mouse only work with desktop Macs??

    I just bought an Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse, assuming it'd work with my new Leopard OS X Macbook. I followed the instructions on the Mighty Mouse booklet...but no installation start-up window ever appeared. I'm a beginner with Apple, so I figure I've done something wrong....does the Mighty Mouse only work with desktop Macs and not MacBooks?
    Please help if you can.

    Ah! sorry, my mistake! "wireless" was the key word. And yes, prior to my new mighty mouse, I also used the wireless one. And you need to do the following:
    1) Turn bluetooth ON (either from finder icon (you can have it placed on your finder bar by tick box in sytem preferences/bluetooth.
    2) Then, you need to "pair" your mouse via bluetooth setup assistant.
    3) once "paired" off you go.

  • Bluetooth Wireless Mighty Mouse only detect one button click

    I have had my Apple Bluetooth wireless Mighty Mouse for a little over a year and it has just recently began to only detect on button function, and cannot differentiate between left click, right click, or the scroll click.
    It behaves slightly differently under different settings. When I have the scroll click set to do ANYTHING, any click on the mouse will do that respective action. When I have the scroll click turned off, and the left is set to primary and right is secondary, it will do the Primary action. When I have the left set to secondary, and the right set to primary, it will still do the Primary action.
    I have looked all over the internet and have found very little help. The scroll wheel is fine so I don't really want to have to take it apart and glue it back together. Anybody know any tricks? Anything will help! Thanks!

    I found a partial fix over on this thread.
    Basically, the fix is to install the shareware program USB Overdrive and set up the buttons via its control panel. Then uninstall it.
    In my case, USB Overdrive brings my mouse back to normal operation, but when I uninstall it, my mouse goes back to acting like a one-button mouse.
    For now, I'll keep USB Overdrive installed. Maybe I can bill Apple for the $20!

  • Wired Mighty Mouse isn't clicking some areas of the screen

    I'm having some trouble with my Mighty Mouse since yesterday. The system started not responding to some clicks in most areas of the screen, such as the top menu, window titles, finder windows, desktop. The weird thing is that clicking in Dock icons works fine, as well as clicking inside a web page in Safari.
    I've rebooted several times, ran the Snow Leopard 10.6.2 update, but none of these helped. :/
    Do you guys know how to get around this? Next Monday I'll test this Mighty Mouse with my Mac Pro at work, I hope it's not a problem of the mouse itself, but a system problem.

    I had exactly the same problem after giving my ball a super long scrub to clean it. Only the secondary click sometimes worked. Checked to cable iside, but no luck.
    Then went to System Preferences as I figured the middle button was working a bit and set all buttons to Primary by selecting them with the Tab key, scrolling to my option with the up and down arrows, and confirming by pressing the Space key.
    Now my mouse works as a simple one-button device, but that it OK for me. Must have damaged its brain with my ball cleaning. See how you go.

  • Wireless Mighty Mouse Looses Right Click Functionality

    I am using a new Wireless Mighty Mouse (about one month old) With new batteries.
    Since I started using it, the (secondary) right click would stop function after repeated use. After many frustrating trouble shooting attempts, I discovered that the Right Click will work again if the mouse is left idle for about 15 - 20 minutes.
    I will like to know if this is a defect that's inherent in the Mighty Mouse system, and if so, has anyone found a solution to this problem or is there a fix?
    Any input would be very much appreciated

    Unfortunately my experience suggests no. I'm on my 5th (or is it 6th?) wireless Mighty Mouse now, and they've all behaved just as you described. The latest replacement was only a week ago. I suspect the only point in replacing it further times would be to demonstrate that you've tried all you can. As far as I can tell, my only recourse at this point is convincing Apple to refund me, which is a shame because I like the scroll ball design.
    I should note that I'm in Australia, in case stock has been slower to update here, but it shouldn't make a difference...
    I've noticed that the problem seems to occur a lot more frequently under hot conditions - room heater on, hot hands etc. Could it still think the left button is being touched because it's warm and/or sweatier than usual?

  • Mighty Mouse problems - dead click

    Recently purchased a Apple Mighty Mouse. Works fine until the click is no longer read by the computer. Usually when switching apps. The cursor moves fine and it causes the dock to appear and react correcly when moved over it but nothing can be clicked or activated.
    Even if I have another input source plugged in (Wacom, trackball) these no longer react to clicks eaither. Most of the time I'm running without them.
    The keyboard also seems to be in-active at that time.
    Is this a known problem or conflict of some type? The only solution seems to a full power reset since the I can't bring up force quit with keyboard.
    Thanks.

    Hi Scott
    I bought a mighty mouse shortly after they were released and I found after a while, that if I used Button 4 [the squeeze button on the side] as the Application switcher then the left and right click wouldn't be recognised until the computer was restarted.
    The only soultion I have is to not use Button 4 for anything and stick to Command & Tab for using Application Switcher.
    Hope this helps

  • Bluetooth Mighty mouse wont right click

    I have set the right mouse button to 'secondary' in the preferences, however i still have to press ctrl to access the right mouse menu.
    How can I correct this?

    Hello,
    In addition to checking the setting as already proposed, do check how you are using the mouse.
    The Mighty Mouse uses sensors to detect which button you mean to press.
    There is actually only one button. So, based on where your fingers are, it will determine which button you meant to press.
    As long as you have a finger over the left button location, anything you press will be a left-button / primary button click.
    So, as a test, raise your left finger about an inch above the surface before you right-click. See if that makes a difference.
    The mouse could just be reading your left finger and assuming you mean a left click.
    I have to deliberately remove my left finger from the mouse anytime I want to right-click. Otherwise I always get a left-click.
    I hope this helps.

  • Apple Mouse (mighty mouse?) Right clicks too often

    I have the Apple Mouse (former Mighty Mouse) and I have right click turned on.  The mouse is constantly doing "right click" when I click left.  I look and my finger is well to the left of the little scroll wheel.
    I thought "Oh maybe it's sensing the whole panel and I'm pushing in a funny angle" but no, I paid attention and  I was not.
    I'm just wondering, is this a common problem with this mouse?   Or is my particular mouse defective?

    I have a 2011 iMac and the batteries in my Magic Mouse need changing every couple of months.  In contrast, my wireless keyboard only needs a battery change every 10 months or so.  I bought an Apple battery charger and keep the spare set of batteries always charged.
    I think that is the way it is - mouse uses more juice than keyboard (or gets more use so runs down faster).  However, if it gets worse than 2 weeks life, it may be time to invest in a new mouse.

  • Mighty mouse - incorrect button clicks

    I have just upgraded my Mighty Mouse to the bluetooth version, and am finding with my new mouse that 50% or so of clicks to the middle button are actually interpreted by the mouse as clicks to the right or left buttons.
    I never had this problem with my old wired mighty mouse - so I'm wondering if I have a fault, or whether something has changed in how you click the buttons???

    Hi design256, and a Warm Welcome to Apple Discussions and the Power Mac G5 Forum!
    As far as I know it's supposed to work the same. Might have been some changes to the sensors to accommodate the wireless but not mentioned anywhere.
    Personally - I've found successive replacement [wired] MM buttons respond slightly differently - and have eventually turned off scroll-ball-click and just use F9. Although in my case it's possibly caused by brain/finger communication errors, I think.

  • Problem with Mighty Mouse in Right Click with Windows Vista Business

    Hi APPLE,
    I have a laptop, Sony Vaio, with Windows Vista Installed in it, i have purchased Apple Wireless Bluetooth Mighty Mouse. Sometimes I get no response when i right click...when i disconnect the mouse, then right click becomes active...but after using for long, right click becomes left click and left click acts normally. Could anyone tell me why this is happening, Can anyone tell me any fix/update/patch Apple has provided for Windows Vista. Is there any driver to configure Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse in Standalone Windows Vista.

  • Mighty Mouse Wireless Right Click not working

    Hi Friends!
    I am having some difficulty getting my Right Click on my Wireless MM to work. I am aware that I need to keep my left finger off the mouse but it still does not seem to be working.
    Any thoughts ?
    Thanks !
    J

    Try replacing the battieries (or just taking them out and putting them back in). Forcing the connection between the Mighty Mouse and the iMac to break. Then put the new batteries, or the ones you were you using from before, in the MM.
    Re-link the Mighty Mouse to the iMac and try applying the settings for the right click function in System Preferences.
    Remember to mark as helpful or solved.

  • Mighty Mouse not right clicking

    I have noticed that my mighty mouse will NOT work on the right click function, particularly when I am on the desktop. If I am working in mail for instance, it WILL however allow me to right click .
    Are there settings or preferences that may have gotten corrupt?
    When on the desktop, if i rightclick, i get s slight pause, then the desktop re writes itself, yet no right click menu will appear.

    It seems like something is up with your Mac OS X.
    Did you try left click and ctrl before you bought your mighty mouse? Or did you always have your might mouse?
    Please try the following...go to applications>utilities>disk utility
    select your volume and fix permissions, then on the right click on check disk. This will take a couple minutes.
    Let me know if you get any errors. Those red type things
    Or did you do this already?

  • Mighty Mouse and Rt Click??

    I want to make the top button perform like a rt click (ie. Control click) How do I do this? I know how to get to the setup preferences for my mighty mouse but I can't seem to find this.

    You might try SteerMouse. It has some nice features including that.
