Magic Mouse + Win 7 64-bit.

Hello,
I have a old Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 8000 that is on its final days. I was wondering if a Magic Mouse would be a good replacement.
Does it work fully with Win 7? If not, are there some 3rd party drivers that will make it work 100%?
Thanks

ooo just saw it was the wrong area to ask. Posted in the mice area

Magic mouse, Win XP all work fine? On boot camp?

I currently have an Intel iMac 2007 Core 2 Duo with Snow Leopard on and use boot cMp with Win XP home on. I have a mighty mouse wireless at the moment and works fine. I used a magic mouse in the Apple retail store recently Nd thought it was reall good.
So will the magic mouse work fine under boot camp on Win XP home? What functions work and what dont please? I only want one mouse for Mac and Windows
Cheers

The Magic Mouse will work fine with Bootcamp Windows and Mac OS X. Follow the instructions: un-pair it in Mac OS X, install the drivers and pair it in Bootcamp Windows, and then pair it with Mac OS X. This works great for me, but note that functionality in Windows is more limited: scrolling is just up and down and no gestures for back page and forward page.
My experience with the Magic TrackPad is that I can get it to work properly in either Max OS X (10.6.4 or 10.6.5) and Bootcamp Windows. (It has the same limits on functionality in Bootcamp Windows as the Magic Mouse.) However, when rebooting into a different OS, the prior pairing does not work. You have to delete the device in the Bluetooth control panel and then re-pair it. This is a nuisance and I find that it is easier to simply plug in a USB mouse for occasional use in Bootcamp Windows rather than to constantly re-install the device. This is not fixed in the 10.6.5 update on my system.
If you need to use Bootcamp frequently, then the Magic Mouse is a better choice. Note that what I describe here is my experience with my early 2008 MacBook Pro. YMMV.

Magic Mouse and Apple Wireless Keyboard with Bootcamp and Win XP Pro 32-bit

Does the Apple Magic Mouse and Apple Wireless Keyboard work with Boot Camp running Windows XP Pro (32-Bit)... I read something leading me to believe there maybe a problem and you need to use a wired USB mouse/Keyboard.
Is this true?

Apple Wireless Keyboard is able to work in Boot Camp via Window XP Pro, it's good enough.
but the Magic Mouse, it's not able to work completely in Window XP Pro,
it's just work like a normal bluetooth wireless mouse,
all the Multi-Touch features like scroll, rotate, swipe, pinch and tap click are not gonna work,
even you are configure via the snow leopard, so please be reconsider.

Using Apple Magic Mouse With Windows 7 64 bit and Parallels Desktop 8 questions

I will be getting an iMac in the coming months and installing Parallels Desktop 8 and Windows 7 64 bit.
I was wondering if I would have the functions of been able to left click, right click, scroll (preferably vertically but also occasionally horizontally) with the Apple Magic Mouse when I'm running Windows 7 through Parallels Desktop 8?
I just wondered if anyone has installed Parallels Desktop 8 and Windows 7 and have you been able to do what i mentioned above and also have you come across any other issues, problems whilst using the Apple Magic Mouse on the Windows side?
If there is any problems/issues with doing the above, is there anything I will need to do to get the above functionality to work?
Thanks in advance.

The same with the trackpad!
Sometimes scrolling is a bit too fast, becuase Win 7 isn't made to use with the Magicmouse or trackpad.
The only thing i miss / doesn't work ist the middle mouse button!
Thanks very much for the help stz-42 its much appreciated.
Providing I can left click, right click, scroll, then that's OK for me as I will be spending the vast amount of my time on the Mac side.
Are you able to scroll both horizontally and vertically when using Parallels 8 Win 7 64 bit on your iMac?

Cannot get Magic Mouse to work in Windows 7 64-bit using Boot Camp

I recently purchased a Magic Mouse and installed it on the Mac OS X partition of my MacBook Pro. After successfully installing on the Mac side, I switched to Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit using Boot Camp to install on the Windows partition. When I try to "Discover" a new Bluetooth device, the Magic Mouse does not show up in the list of devices (the mouse is powered on and next to the computer).
I am using the most recent version of Boot Camp (3.0.2) and have updated Windows 7. Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so, is there a fix for it?
I appreciate any help!

OK, that is a Bluetooth mouse so open Windows Devices and Printers>Add a Device Toggle the power (on the mouse) off and then on. he mouse should appear in the window, follow instructions to add it.

Magic Mouse not working in 32 bit mode?

Hello,
I decided to boot my 64-bit 8 core Mac pro in 32 bit and the mouse (bluetooth apple magic mouse) was not working... The keyboard did work however.
Im not necessarily looking for a remedy to this problem as I don't really plan on using my system in 32 bit mode on a regular basis..... I was just wondering why it might be doing this..
Anyone have an idea?

Never mind... this is the MAC Pro section!
I must be really out of it this morning.... :/

Thanks.

Magic Mouse Middle Click in Windows 7 64-bit Bootcamp?

Any ideas?, I found something (link below) but I'm not sure if its safe.
http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/26184/magic-mouse-middle-click-in-windo ws-7-64-bit-bootcamp

That looks relatively safe but quite impractical in the long run.
I'm looking to achieve something similar, getting the middle click button to work, since it would be very useful through general productivity in terms of web browsing as well as for gaming such as Minecraft (building).
Anyone got any ideas as to how to achieve this? I know it's not possible to get this functionality in OS X without some third-party tool such as MagicPrefs, but surely it should be possible in Windows.
Thanks.

Cannot install Win 7 Via BC with magic mouse? Its my only mouse. Answers??

I just got my new imac today with the only mouse I have...the magic mouse. I put my win 7 install DVD in through boot camp and no reception at all. How do I install win 7 without my magic mouse before I can install the drivers for it?

I had the same problem at first and I went and checked the solutions page on this site, their answer is to boot in mac and re-pair your mouse with your system after you have installed your windows bootcamp and it should work. I did that and my magic mouse works just fine in my windows partition. Hope this helps!

Magic Mouse a bit sluggish when moved diagonally?

Hi,
I just connected a Magic Mouse to my Macbook Pro, it appears to me that the tracking is a bit sluggish when moved diagonally, that is, when i move the mouse diagonally it appears to object to the notion and instead move either vertically or horizontally for a moment and then kick in moving vertically. This is more apparent when moving short distances than long ones.
Is it possible my magic mouse is defective? or that it requires additional setup/calibration?
Thank you.

Ditto on the complaints. I am very frustrated. I'll be working in Aperture, for example, with an album of several hundred photos I am in the process of rating. As I go to reach for the mouse to click on a particular photo, the mouse activates a scrolling function and POOF!... I'm at the top of my photo album, forced to scroll many rows of photos to get to that one I was about to click on. Google Maps is useless as well. iTunes also sporadically scrolls through music. My productivity is noticeably hindered by this phenomenon. As a result, I find myself grabbing the mouse like a fragile egg- just on its sides to prevent accidental scrolling.

Pairing Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and Magic Mouse Windows 7 64-bit

Evening Apple Forum!
I'm camping with a problem regarding the pairing of my two bluetooth devices: the bluetooth keyboard by Apple and the Magic Mouse in Windows.
I'm running Windows 7 64-bit through Boot Camp 3.1.
I have tried pairing them as I normally would, turn on the device and then let the MacBook search for bluetooth devices. This, however, didn't work out for both the keyboard and the mouse.
After some searching in several forums, I wondered if I had to update the driver operating Bluetooth in general. I came to the conclusion this wasn't needed after checking the 'Device Manager' in Windows. The Device Manager displayed under 'Bluetooth Radios' two drivers:
- Apple Broadcom Built-in Bluetooth
- Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator
This seemed fine.
After this, I read through a .pdf file regarding Boot Camp directly from Apple, which pointed me towards another method of pairing the bluetooth devices: the devices had to be turned off before or while the MacBook was searching and turned on again after that. Sadly this didn't do anything either.
I'm clueless, I have no idea whatsoever how to get this to work. This support forum is always a last resort for me because usually I can deal with a problem myself by basic knowledge or reading some forums. This isn't the case this time.
If anyone has an idea of how to pair these devices to my MacBook, feel free to reply.
Thanks!

I've found the solution here on the forum:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11491400&#11207285
All I did was unpair my mouse on Mac and then pair the mouse on Windows 7 and finally re-pair the mouse on Mac. It worked perfectly. It seems that Windows 7 likes exclusivity.

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 works in Windows 7 x64... Until Reboot

So I've tried every troubleshooting solution I could find and after hours of fiddling around, and I finally got the Magic Mouse to work in Win 7 x64 (Boot Camp). However, after rebooting it no longer worked. I have downloaded the drivers listed on Apple's website and did the extract 64 bit version. I am using Boot Camp 3.0, so "Generic Bluetooth" is not listed in the Device Manager... only the correct Apple Bluetooth Radio is listed. The steps I went through to get the Magic Mouse up and running the first time are kind of a blur, but I believe they went something like this:
1. Uninstalled Magic Mouse and Apple Bluetooth drivers from Device Manager
2. Let Windows find new hardware and reinstall
3. Chose to search for Bluetooth devices > Right Clicked Magic Mouse > Checked HID Mouse (or something similar) in Services tab
4. Windows installed drivers and mouse worked. Magic Mouse was listed as Bluetooth HID instead of Apple Wireless Mouse (which I've seen before)
Tested this configuration out and everything seemed to be working great. However, I rebooted my system, ensured I didn't have any issues in Mac OS X (which I didn't) then booted back into Windows. At this point, the mouse no longer worked. I noticed in the Device Manager that there were 2x Bluetooth HIDs listed instead of the one I saw earlier. When I displayed the Bluetooth devices, the Magic Mouse was listed with a yellow exclamation point. I attempted to disable each and reboot to see if one was conflicting with the other, but it did not resolve the issue. Anyone know why this is happening or what I can do to get this mouse working?

Just to update... I can now add the mouse each time I load up Windows. I just need to uninstall any Bluetooth HIDs located in the Device Manager and remove the mouse from the list of bluetooth devices. However, each time I reboot into Windows, the first thing that happens is it install another Bluetooth HID. During the login screen the mouse is unresponsive and when going into the device manager after a reboot there is always two of the same Bluetooth HIDs listed. This seems to be the problem during the startup but how do I stop Windows from installing the same device twice?
I have also attempted to install the 64bit drivers supplied on the website and the mouse changes from Bluetooth HID to Apple Wireless Mouse. Once it finishes installing, the mouse no longer works. I have to repeat the steps and uninstall the Apple drivers to get it to work again

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.

Magic Mouse + Win 7 64-bit.
