Magic Mouse Drivers - Bootcamp

Apple,
The Magic Mouse is a great product but thus far you've ignored those who work in Bootcamp with Windows. My occasional jaunts into the Windows world are disappointing and should not be. Please release drivers that better utilize Magic Mouse features in Windows.

This issue appears to be resolved (well, it never required resolution, just the proper drivers) by installing only part of the Apple Bluetooth Update 1.0 for Windows.
The update can be found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL952
Once the package is downloaded, you must extract the files using WinRAR or any other similar ZIP/RAR utility.
You must extract the files from the update. If you simply try to install the entire update, you'll receive a prompt stating the update isn't required for your specific model, as this update is intended for the iMac.
Once extracted, open the target directory and double-click the AppleWirelessMouse.exe that applies to your Windows OS (32 or 64 bit).
I'm using my Magic Mouse with Boot Camp and Fusion 3.0 running Win 7 and both vertical and horz scrolling work just fine. The Magic Mouse also feels a bit more responsive. Both are welcome improvements.
I'm not quite sure why Apple hasn't provided more information on this, it seems they're okay with the implication that Magic Mouse only works in Mac OS X.

NEED Middle button for Magic Mouse in Bootcamp!

Hey guys!
I recently purchased a Magic Mouse, and my oh my is it AWESOME! Problem is that it hadn't occured to me there was no middle button and I DESPERATELY need a middle button to use Solidworks under Bootcamp. Anyone know of any drivers/programs/hacks that'll enable middle button for me? Else I've effectively wasted $70, and being a student, that hurts.
PLEASE let me know ASAP! I'd hate to have to get one of those generic mouses.
Thanks!

I am pretty sure that this is not possible, try finding a version of the software you use that is compatible with Mac OS X?

Magic mouse on bootcamp with cad files

Hey,
I want to know if can someone help me to figure out my problem.
I am student to architecture and need the middle button for cad files like autocad, sketchup etc...
For mac I have the magicprefs app - that enable the middle button.
but for windows (run with bootcamp with the 5.1 driver) I don׳t see any solution for this. (and a lot of topic with this problem).
I happy to see answer from you.
thank you very much.

I had the same issue and I finally make it work executing following steps:
1. If the Mouse is displayed on Win 7 Bluetooth devices, remove it.
2. Reboot the computer on Mac OS and change the name of Magic Mouse then remove the Magic Mouse from Mac OS Bluetooth list as well.
3. Reboot the computer on Bootcamp/Win 7 and use Bluetooth add device to pair the Magic Mouse on Win 7. At this time it should work on Win 7.
4. Reboot the computer on Mac OS and add again the Bluetooth device. At this point, the name of Magic Mouse will be the old name, so you have to change it to the new name you just set it at step #2.
After this, my Magic Mouse works fine in Mac OS and Win 7 Ultimate/64bits.

Magic mouse on bootcamp

hi guys
just bought the magic mouse, and i wanted to know how to make it run on my bootcamp.
i have a macbook pro 13'' 2011.
please help me

You adjust and when using windows you have to go back and adjust again what makes it double-annoying. I understand your point and hope there will be natural solution soon. For now this seems to work: http://www.howtogeek.com/57542/how-to-get-the-worst-os-x-lion-feature-in-windows -reverse-scrolling/

HT201612 magic mouse boot camp drivers for Lion?

Where can I locate magic mouse drivers for Win 7 running in Boot Camp on an iMac running Lion?

Recent thread post with fix for BT:
bluetooth connection is incredibly unreliable/intermittent when in Windows (I run Windows 7 64-bit and Boot Camp 4.0, and got both devices connected without any trouble via Bluetooth).
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4079148
After much testing, I have found the cause of lagging/jumpiness on the Bluetooth Magic Mouse and Magic TrackPad in Boot Camp. Hopefully this will help others:
The drivers for the Broadcom 802.11n Wireless Adapter have a setting called "Bluetooth Collaboration" that is Disabled by default. Enabling this option removes the problem instantly. My Magic Trackpad now works flawlessly, even if I stand 6 metres from the machine. It now works just as well as under Mac OS. The setting can be found under:
Control Panel > Device Manager > Network Adapters > Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter (right click and choose "Properties". Under the "Advanced" tab, highlight the setting named "Bluetooth Collaboration", then change it to Enable. Then click OK.
I narrowed the problem down to the wireless card by disabling ALL startup services and processes for Windows, then re-enabling one by one. As soon as I enabled the Windows Wireless Service, the problem came back. Similarly, disabling the Wireless Card inside the Network and Sharing Center (or Device Manager) removes the problem. This led me to believe it must be a driver issue with the wireless card, since the problem didn't occur with the Magic TrackPad under Mac OS, or on my mother's Windows 7 64-bit computer. So when I went into the Driver Properties to check for an update, I found this setting about Bluetooth Collaboration.
All Apple notebooks use the Broadcom card (and have done for years), so this driver is installed for almost anybody using Boot Camp on an Apple notebook. I'd assume this problem would affect anybody using Boot Camp + wifi + a Bluetooth device.
This works. Unfortunately it has one bad side effect: it will slow your wifi connection down to a crawl. For example: Windows 7 speed test (rMBP, Win7, boot camp, linksys WRT45G router set to g only) with collaboration disabled: up = 17 Mbps, down = 6 Mbps; with collaboration enabled: up = 3 mb/s; down = 5 Mbps. For me, this was not acceptable, so I kept collaboration disabled.

Is anybody else struggling with an intermittent connection when using the Magic Mouse/Trackpad ONLY on Boot Camp?

Hi,
I've seen thousands of posts about Bluetooth connection issues and interference and stutter/lag for both the Magic Mouse and Trackpad (affecting both Mac OS X and Windows under Boot Camp) but my problem is different.
To summarise my setup, I use:
- Retina MacBook Pro (lid closed or open, doesn't make a difference to this problem)
- Thunderbolt Display
- Wireless Keyboard
- Magic Trackpad (have also tried a Magic Mouse and experience similar issues to the Trackpad)
And in Mac OS X, everything works perfectly. The keyboard and trackpad work smoothly when I'm 6-7 metres from the machine, whether or not the laptop lid is open or closed, and whether or not the Thunderbold Display is connected.
But on to my problem: the bluetooth connection is incredibly unreliable/intermittent when in Windows (I run Windows 7 64-bit and Boot Camp 4.0, and got both devices connected without any trouble via Bluetooth).
But during usage, the cursor stutters/lags frequently, and tap to click (when enabled) seems to get triggered by mistake all the time (even when I'm not touching the Trackpad or even at the computer, clicks get registered).
The Wireless Keyboard is perfect, and works well 5 metres from the machine. The Mouse and Trackpad, though, don't even work reliably when they are 6 inches from the machine. The built-in trackpad on the laptop works perfectly too, in Windows and Mac.
I spent a week assuming I was suffering from Bluetooth interference, so I tried:
- using the laptop with the lid open
- removing the Thunderbolt display completely and trying the Magic Trackpad
- repositioning items on my desk
- disabling wifi
All of these adjustments made minor differences to how good/bad the Trackpad was, but none came close to fixing the problem or making it work as smoothly as under Mac OS X. It was only after doing all of this that I realised perhaps it was just a Apple driver for Windows issue, so I booted into Mac OS X and tested everything out, and sure enough, it's all perfect. But back into Windows, the Trackpad doesn't work reliably at all.
Obviously, the hardware is not at fault, and I assume the signal strength doesn't vary between operating system (why would it?) so I'm left believing this must be a driver issue. The TrackPad and Magic Mouse drivers have been out for a couple of years, so I'm surprised they can still be this bad. I tried both the latest driver from Boot Camp 4.0 (3.2.0.0) for the Trackpad, and also the older one from Boot Camp 3.2 (3.1.0.7) and both are equally bad for me.
So my question is: has anybody else struggled with using the Trackpad (or Magic Mouse) with Boot Camp 4.0 and Windows 7 64-bit, whilst finding it to be perfect under Mac OS? I haven't found many posts complaining about the Windows driver, which is why I assumed it was an interference issue. But I'm almost sure it isn't, having spent 2 weeks investigating.
Any thoughts/suggestions/answers much appreciated!
Kyle

Magic Mouse on Windows XP PC

Hi,
I know this question has been asked before butI have still not found a solution that works for me. I have a Magic Mouse which I use on my Macbook but would also like to use on my work PC.
I know there were drivers available at UneasySilence but these links are now dead.
Does anyone know where I can find XP 32-bit drivers for the Magic Mouse?
Any help is much appreciated.

I told, you, the Windows (PC) drivers for the Magic Mouse are included in the Windows software that is included on the Windows portion of your Mac OS install DVD. Just put the DVD in and run the boot camp installer, or if you so desire, browse the disc and run just the MSI file that is the drivers for the mouse.
There are two portions to Boot Camp. The Mac side which prepares your Mac OS for the second partition and prepares the emulation for a PC BIOS. The second part is the Windows portion which is simply a set of device drivers and support software for the Apple hardware. That second piece is what you are looking for to get your Magic Mouse drivers.

HT1846 I have a windows 7, and i'm trying to make my Mac's Magic Mouse work on my PC... do i need to download this BootCamp? or should i install a driver especially made for Windows 7?

Is there any way that i can have my Magic Mouse to run on my PC (Windows 7)?
i am looking for drivers online, but i don't want to install something that Apple may not approve of. I'm sure if there were such a driver, then Apple would have provided it; unless i have missed something.

when one makes the bootcamp driver disc in bootcamp on osx it builds a cd with apple tested drivers for the hardware for windows

Magic Mouse still not connecting on Bootcamp 3.1 with Windows 7

I had windows 7 ultimate x64 running on Bootcamp the last few months and was thrilled to see that the last update would work with my shiny new magic mouse.
To my disappointment it didn't. I tried reinstalling the update (x64 version of it) a few times, and manually deleting the drivers related to bluetooth and mouse from the control panel so it would make a clean reinstall, but without any luck... I followed every instruction, rebooted a zillion times and still nothing.
It detects the mouse on bluetooth devices, it even knows it's mine (has my name on it), but keeps on trying to connect forever...
Anybody has this problem?

All,
Here's how I got it to work:
Go to Device Manager > Bluetooth Radios > Generic Bluetooth Adapter
Right click > Update Driver Software > "Browse my computer for driver software" > "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
Uncheck "Show compatible hardware"
Under Manufacturer select > "Apple Inc."
Select the "Apple Built-in BluetootDFU" and click "Next" a bunch of times.
Then, go to the Bluetooth Icon in the system tray or in the control panel. Turn off the Magic Mouse before you try to discover the device. It should do it's thing automagically and come right up after you turn the Magic Mouse back on.
At least these are the steps that worked for me.
The problem I'm seeing is that the mouse stops responding if you're not constantly moving it. I'm going to try the different Bluetooth adapters from "Apple Inc." to see which one works best.

Magic Mouse not working in Win 7 bootcamp

I just installed Bootcamp and Windows 7 64bit Enterprise on my 27" iMac. The wireless keyboard works and the magic mouse is displayed in the list of devices but doesn't work. I have tried installing the drivers from the disc that came with my iMac but it gave me an error. Any suggestions?

I figured it out. I removed the device and then did a scan for new bluetooth devices. The mouse was detected and installed. After I restarted the computer the mouse started working.

Magic mouse lagging or unresponsive when using bootcamp windows 7 on Mac Mini but works fine in Mac OSX 10.8.4

I updated the Apple Broadcam built-in bluetooth radio software through Windows and it found an update. Updated Boot Camp software/drivers to version 5.0.33, the latest which includes a wireless mouse piece. Replaced the batteries again and turn it off/on several times. In the Bluetooth menu, this mouse usually does not show up in connected devices or will not show up as a device that can be added. Once it did show up right after turning it off/on but took forever to connect then lost its connection right away and couldn't be discovered again.
I don't think drivers are the issue, seems to be some kind of conflict with wireless adapter & bluetooth maybe.
I found this which looked promising but no luck: http://kemal.co/index.php/2012/09/laggy-magic-mouse-boot-camp-windows/
Any ideas?

Magic Mouse Middle Click Problem on Bootcamp Windows 7

Hi, I am using Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro via Bootcamp. My magic mouse working good but I need middle click for some design softwares. I found some softwares can simulate middle click but the softwares just running under Mac OS. Are there any Windows compatible software like Magicprefs or Middleclick?
Thanks...

Hello,
I have the same mouse and after searching a solution, I found this article:
http://superuser.com/questions/814156/hp-bluetooth-mouse-works-in-osx-on-macbook -but-not-in-windows-8-1-boot-camp
You only need to unpair the Mouse from your Mac System, Reboot to Windows Boot Camp and pair the Mouse...
Now you can pair again on Mac OS and "voilà", your mouse can now work's in both Systems...
For me, it works!
