Mighty Mouse Functionality in Bootcamp?

Hi,
I use a Macbook 2.16ghz with Vista in Bootcamp. When I use the side buttons on my wired mighty mouse in Windows Vista, it activates as some sort of back button or "click" for whatever prgram I'm using. Does anyone know how to change the functions of the buttons (like the two side ones) on the mighty mouse so they can do different things in windows vista? Or is their some way to turn the side buttons off? Thanks.

I checked the Device Manager. It thinks the mouse is an Apple Mouse. The mouse properties are just like regular mice. I'll try using the intellipoint mouse driver sometime.

  • Mighty Mouse function change

    How do I change my right Mighty Mouse button to a "double click"?

    I don't think that you are able to make the the become a double click mouse... just able to adjust the speed of the double click....
    But there may be a way to make the icons respond to a single click...I'm still trying to figure that one out.
    Cheers

  • Where can I find Mighty Mouse drivers/prerferences

    Does anyone know where the default settings are located for the Mighty Mouse or the easiest way to restore them?
    I installed Controller Mate and Steermouse for a bit before uninstalling them but now I can't reconfigure my Mighty Mouse. (I want to disable the right click). I'd like to use Time Machine to restore the Mighty Mouse drivers/preferences.
    Please help!

    My mouse system preferences are still there and I can customise most of the Mighty Mouse functions except it won't let me disable the secondary click for some reason i.e. I make the change in preferences but the context menu still appears when I right click.
    I have uninstalled the 3rd party drivers using AppZapper.

  • What is button 4 on Mighty Mouse?

    Hi,
    what exactly is the button 4-setting in the Mighty Mouse settings in Tiger and how can it be configurated.
    Thanks in advance - Christoph

    there is also the possible setting "Button 4" and I just wanted to know what that is for and where I can maybe specify what button 4 should do - other than the possibilities that are shown in the drop-down menue. Sorry for making it not clear...
    There is also the setting "Button 3" for the scrollball... I don´t want to believe that Apple just wanted to tell us that this is a third and fourth button... that would be obvious, wouldn´t it?
    Are you asking what it means if you set a button's function to be "Button 3", or "Button 4"?
    They don't do anything directly in OSX. OSX uses Left-click (Button 1) to select, and Right-click (Button 2) for contextual menu. X11 and other applications (such as Maya) may be written to work with a mouse with more than two buttons. When running such an application, the mouse settings determine which of the Mighty Mouse functions (pressing the scroll-ball, or squeezing the side buttons) will be interpreted by the application at the third or fourth button of a multi-button mouse.

  • Bluetooth Mighty Mouse & Windows XP using Bootcamp

    Are there plans to add functionality for the bluetooth mighty mouse in Windows XP using bootcamp??
    Macbook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   I run Bootcamp, as well as OS X

    I was able to get it to work in Windows XP. I was not using Boot Camp since I have a IBM ThinkPad T41p, but it should work the same.

  • 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

  • Connect Wireless Mighty Mouse to windows xp pro sp2 on bootcamp

    I recently installed windows xp pro sp2 on bootcamp i tried to hook up my Wireless Mighty Mouse and I got basically nowhere. I was able to get the computer to recognize it and i typed in the passkey "0000" and it knows that it is a bluetooth device and I changed the settings of the bluetooth to "always" be discoverable and still I have hit a dead end. I can still not seem to connect the wireless mouse in any way. What do I do???

    I FUIGURED IT OUT!!! omg im so happy right now. For anyone who might be wondering I'll tell you how to make it work it you had the same problem. Once you establish the mouse a device, highlight it in the devices menu, then click properties, then services, and once it is done searching check the box for the driver and click apply and your mouse should work.

  • Mighty mouse has lost functions!!

    Hi everyone, i havent been able to find warranty info on the corded mighty mouse that came with my machine... How long is the mouse and keyboard warranty? Well the main problem.. is that the side buttons.. (default to Expose) and the 3rd click when you just click the mouse by pushing the scroll ball makes the dashboard work.. well those two functions quit working, i reset pram.. mouse isnt dirty.. scroll wheel works fine and left and right click work. but no side buttons or button on mouse, i did find one strange thing. if im in safari... and i click down on the mouse ball.. like i want to make dashboard come up.. and start to move the mouse around the entire page moves. (kinda like a PC) any ideas??? Any help would be appreciated.. I am running leopard.. 10.5.1 I am under my year of warranty... can i just take the mouse in to my apple store and swap it out??

    ok, i went into the apple store and they did replace my mouse with the newer non grey buttons on the side.. they are now white.. But it still didnt fix it.. Leopard was messed up, i did a fresh install of leopard and everything works fine.. I still wonder though... what got corrupted??

  • Mighty mouse in bootcamp not working

    Hi Team.
    I have just installed Vista Ultimate and the newest drivers for it from apple (the new exe download)
    Its all gone well and I am typing to you from the apple wireless keyboard.
    However the wireless mighty mouse is not working.
    I followed this procedure.
    Opened bluetooth in the control panel and added an item. It searched and found the mouse I selected it then told it I did not want to connect with a passkey. Eventually it says connected sucessfully with no pass key. The one of those terribly annoying pop up ballons tells me there is new bluetooth click to use it, I click it and then a new window comes up asking me to enter a pass key?
    We can get no further. Basically it says connected but does not work.
    Any ideas?

    I've got exactly the same problem - iMac with Bootcamp, Vista Ultimate 32-bit, recognises wireless keyboard but keep getting the same pop-up asking for a passkey for my mighty mouse despite asking it to set it up with no passkey.
    Went throught the whole Bootcamp/Vista install process fairly seamlessly otherwise.
    Anyone got any other ideas?

  • 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?

  • Restoring function to Mighty Mouse

    I once found a post here to temporarily restore vertical scrolling function to a Mighty Mouse by cleaning the scroll ball with a paper towel moistened with rubbing alcohol.
    That worked for a while, but after 6 month of just working, it went to needing periodic cleaning to lately needing daily cleaning to a point where that doesn't seem to be doing the trick any more.
    Anybody have a suggestion as to how to deep clean this thing? I seem to recall there once being some sort of stuff in a spray can that cleaned the potentiometer in an old analogue volume knob to fix the dead spots that would come in over time. Is there something like that available for a Mighty Mouse scroll ball?
    That scroll ball can be a real spoiler, but that makes the apparent death of the function seem more frustrating and even infuriating.

    Hi, I sympathize with your trouble, I had two MM's and both lost the use of their trackball's. I decided to crack them open and see what could be done. It's not so difficult to do, requires only a bit of courage, steady hands and a stanley blade. There is a good website giving full instructions but it seems to have gone, some pix though...http://www.flickr.com/photos/shirster/sets/1447737/
    But basically, using a razor blade or stanley blade, the white rim can be gently prised off, from there it's a careful dismantle. The trackball is set in a small white plastic case, that can be popped open very easy. You will find the rollers are miniscule and it's no wonder they clog up. This not a very clever design, it just attracts far too much muck from our fingers. A far, far better design is to use four laser/LED's and a reflective ball, never gets clogged and works just as good. Having said that, the whole principle is right on, just not executed that good. Maybe v2 will improve things.

  • Help with Bootcamp (Speakers and mighty mouse scroll wheel not working)

    So I just loaded bootcamp onto my macbook but I'm having some problems.  First, my scroll bar on my mighty mouse doesn't work when in Windows.  The only help I've seen online has been for those who haven't yet loaded windows.  Can I still download a driver that will help me out?  My speakers also are not working and the Realtek driver that everyone said worked for them didn't work for me.  Advice?

    Sorry, this is not possible in the current version of Firefox, but we have an open bug report where we are tracking this issue here:

    With luck it will be fixed in a future version.

  • Bootcamp, Mighty Mouse and Keyboard not working

    Hi All,
    I just install yesterday Windows 7 (Ultimate 64bits) by Bootcamp in my iMac 21" (bought in 2013).
    During the installation, the Mighty Mouse and the keyboard were not working (except the first W7 screens, selecting partition and language), and now, installation finished, i got to use an external keyboard to select username and password, because Mighty Mouse and Wireless Keyboard are not working with Windows.
    I restart the computer using OSX and both are working fine.
    Could you please help me?
    Best
    Jorge

    upgrading to vista sorted things out!

  • Mighty Mouse (Bluetooth) NOT Fully Functional

    After installing Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion), the Might Mouse BT used with a MacBook 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo only functions as a pointer but it cannot select with a click .Battery power is okay. The Mighty Mouse was fully functinal with Mac OS 10.6.8 on the same MacBook.

    Replaced the batteries with fully charged rechargable batteries. The Might Mouse and now it is fully functional.
    My Theory
    Rechargable batteries can be a problem with a Mighty Mouse.
    Although the battery level was at 40%, the Mighty Mouse started to loose some of its functionality. If you choose to use rechargable batteries, as I encourage you to do, replace them before the battery level drops below 50%.

  • (Mighty) Mouse with Windows7 and BootCamp

    Hi,
    I am trying to get my Mighty Mouse running on Windows7 using Bootcamp. I have read several threads but it still does not work!
    What is more problematic: I am using my old USB mouse from my Quicksilver mac (a "Pro Mouse" - transparent look), and even here I cannot manage to get the right click enabled properly...
    When I click on the "Add Bluetooth device" button in the system settings, the mighty mouse is found, but the installation is not finished and I am not able to right click on it (because of the problems with the existing USB mouse), in order to change some settings of it ... if that would be possible..
    Any ideas?
    PS:
    iMac (2007), Snow Leopard, BootCamp says version 4.0 (from Windows System Control)

    Found some hint in the web that fixed my issue:
    http://maclord.ozarweb.com/mevzu/resolved-apple-magic-mouse-problem-on-windows/
    It seems as if I really had to remove the mouse in MacOS from the bluetooth device list.
