Mighty Mouse with Windows Intel Mac

Could anyone tell me how to set my windows partition on mac so that I don't have to install my mighty mouse to work every time I open Windows?
When I am in windows and click the bluetooth icon in control panel it says that it recognizes the mouse and that it is operating but when I go to physically use the mouse it doesn't work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Stuart:
If Apple's official statement is that it will not work on a Wintel box, I would accept that position. You could E-mail Apple and suggest that they add that capability.

How To Quesiton Re: Using Wirless Mighty Mouse with Windows PC

I would like to use my wireless Mighty Mouse with my work PC. I need some type of wireless dongle but have no idea what type or brand. Could anyone suggest one that has worked for them?
The PC I will be using at work is running Windows 7.
Thanks !
Chuck :- )

The Mighty Mouse utilizes Bluetooth for wireless connectivity, thus any standards compliant Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR dongle should work. Here is a link to one that should work great:

Wireless Mighty Mouse on Windows PC (one last time). Any luck?

Anyone with any luck trying to pair a wireless Mighty Mouse with a Windows PC?
I'm trying to get the wireless Mighty Mouse to work on a PC (not a Mac with Boot Camp). I thought it should have been easy enough since I have other Bluetooth devices that work fine. I know that topic has been discussed before but I haven't come across anything definitive that shows a way to get it to work. Would someone please point me in the right direction. If not I'll be returning it for the wired Mighty Mouse.
As it stands now my Bluetooth software recognizes the Mighty Mouse but it can't pair it. I'm pretty sure it's a Bluetooth software issue. Your thought? Thanks.

I've installed 'Bluetooth Stack for Windows by Toshiba' to pair my bluetooth headset with XP to get music from iTunes. It's working great.
I've just tried to pair the Mighthy Mouse with XP and it's working!!!

How to wired mighty mouse in windows 7

i am using an old apple mighty mouse with my windows notebook. the trackball doesn't work and the configuration panel in Windows 7 doesn't config mighty mouse button. is there any solution to config mighty mouse in Windows 7? thank you.

There is no need for additional drivers.
Why?
If you have a Wireless Mighty Mouse you have to turn your computer visible for other devices in the Bluetooth preferences - then simply search for Bluetooth devices, connect - done!
To configure the Mighty Mouse's buttons, you might want to have a look at a tool called X-Mouse Button Control (http://www.highrez.co.uk/downloads/XMouseButtonControl.htm).

Will a Saittek Eclipse usb keyboard work with an Intel Mac Mini?

The Saittek Eclipse is my favorite keyboard.
Anybody know if it will work with an Intel Mac Mini.
Box only says Windows, but I'm just wondering if everything except volume controls will work fine? (it is also illuminated, with a light level control, but I'm guessing this shouldn't matter with Windows vs OS X?)

I am a writer though and a photographer (strictly point and shoot) for a couple of orgs. I just don't want o run out of space. And I hate!! slow response time.
Is the i5 adequate as well?
Glad to have found an Apple guru so quickly. May very well buc you more in the future.

Hello everyone   I wonder if you can advice me.   I got myself a Power PC G5 which is bluetooth enabled but has no bluetooth antenna.   Can I still use a magic or mighty mouse with it? OR do I need an antenna?   Many thanks

Open your Displays system preferences. Is there an Arrangement tab and does it show two screens? If no Arrangement tab then your mac does not know it has two screens. Maybe smc and pram reset will shake it free and maybe not. Maybe there's something wrong with the connection. Thunderbolt plugs are similar to mini-displayport plugs so make sure the plug is pushed firmly in so that essentially all the metal part disappears inside the socket. The plugs can be a little tricky in that you need to make sure the plug is fully seated in their socket.
If you do see two screens in the Arrangement tab then click Detect Displays and Gather Windows to get the Displays preferences of the other monitor on to your main monitor. Check the resolution and if there is a refresh rate check that as well.

Mighty mouse with two computers

Is there a way to pair a Mighty Mouse with two computers and to them switch back and forth between them easily? I realize I could unpair from one and then pair with the other, but I’m trying to use a Mighty Mouse in lieu of a KVM switch with a wired mouse.

Yes and no. It all depends on the device, and I can't speak from experience when it comes to the Mighty Mouse, but I can speak from experience with other Bluetooth devices.
You can pair a device with multiple computers, but you cannot use it with multiple computers simultaneously. When switching, you'll have to tell your computer to disconnect from the mouse before the other computer can connect to it. Since we're talking about a mouse, reconnecting the mouse might be a little tricky, if you want to use only one. Perhaps adding something like an Optimus Mini Three (or similar HID) with an AppleScript attached to one of the buttons to trigger mouse reconnection could work.
There are software based solutions to your problem, enabling you to connect any HID (Human Input Device) to your computer, and then use a virtual KVM over the network. I've seen a few pieces of software like this in the Apple Downloads Database, but I don't know if they're free.

Magic mouse with windows

im getting a magic mouse and right now im using a sony vaio with Windows 7...so i really want to use my apple magic mouse with it..will it be work with windows? i heard there is a softwere called "boot camp" with that you can use your magic mouse with your windows..is it true or is there a way to use my magic mouse with windows?
Thank you

If your Windows computer has Bluetooth built in, then you cause your Magic Mouse with the computer, but you won't be able to use any of the multitouch gestures.

Problem with Mighty Mouse at Windows XP

Hi,
I have a problem with Apple Wired Mighty Mouse drivers on Windows XP..
I using a Dell notebook with WinXp and I need to have a full working driver for Mighty Mouse.
For example - 360 degree scroll, etc.. I tried a Trinity Driver, but my computer have some restrictions from my work. My question - is here any other driver, that supports some of that features, which Mighty Mouse have, or which driver package is it on Mac OSX install DVD for the BootCamp ? Cause i see here many packages (AppleBluetoothEnablerInstaller, AppleBluetoothInstaller, AppleDisplayInstaller, etc..) but none of them looks to have a driver for Mighty Mouse inside.
Thanks very much for a response..

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
at the moment only the very basic functions of the Magic Mouse work with Windows.

Maybe future driver updates include more functions.

Trick for Pairing Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse With Windows 7 in BC 3.1

My Mac:
Mid-2007 iMac 20", 2.4 GHz; OS X 10.6.2; Windows 7 Home; Boot Camp 3.1
My Problem:
No matter what I tried, including all kinds of tips and tricks found in this forum and elsewhere on the web, I could not get my Apple aluminum bluetooth keyboard and bluetooth Mighty Mouse to pair in Windows 7. Windows 7's bluetooth setup panel would see them, from time to time, but never connected.
The same pair connected quite easily with Snow Leopard, and the keyboard connected before I installed BC 3.1 in Win 7 (never did get the MM to connect in Win 7 with BC 3.0). But with BC 3.1 in Win 7, it was no dice for either one until I made an accidental discovery.
While prepping another Apple bluetooth aluminum keyboard for my wife's Mac Mini, it was seen by my iMac's Win 7, which wanted to pair with it.
Aha! A Big Clue! The Win 7 BC 3.1 generic bluetooth drivers wanted to pair with an aluminum keyboard that wasn't already paired with the iMac. So, I booted back into Snow Leopard, connected a USB mouse and keyboard, renamed the bluetooth mouse and keyboard, and then deleted them. I rebooted back into Win 7, then easily set up both renamed mouse and keyboard which paired quickly with Windows.
Note that I first tried deleting them from the Snow Leopard side first, but Win 7 still wouldn't pair with them. That's when I went back to Snow Leopard and renamed them but didn't pair them with the iMac until it was booted into Win 7.
Finally, I rebooted back into Snow Leopard and paired the keyboard and mouse with OS X. Done.
Hope this trick/tip/hint helps someone else with keyboard and mouse bluetooth pairing problems.

You're welcome. My discovery was quite accidental, but that's often how things happen ... if you're paying attention and are looking for clues.
Sorry you had to trial and error before you succeeded, but as you've probably found, it is necessary to rename the bluetooth devices first, then delete them from OS X.
I don't understand why this trick was necessary, or even what caused it to happen. I've got 6 Win 7 installations via Boot Camp on 6 Intel Macs (2 white MacBooks, 1 Unibody MacBook, a Core Duo Mac Mini, a 27" iMac and the 20" 2.4 Mid-2007 iMac). All were running 10.6.2 and Win 7 (aren't Family Packs wonderful?) via Boot Camp 3.0 more or less without problems, except as noted in my first post.
Only the 20" iMac had problems after the Boot Camp 3.1. Not only did I have a devil of a time pairing the keyboard and mouse, but I also lost the Win 7 activation on the iMac 20" and the OS X partition started showing up as "EFI Boot". All happened right after I updated Boot Camp 3.0 to 3.1 via download from Apple while running Win 7.
I've heard reports of other Mac users discovering Boot Camp had done a FUBAR job on their machines, but this is my first experience. My guess is that there's some dialogue going on between 10.6, Win 7 and Boot Camp that shouldn't be happening. What I really don't understand is why my other 5 Macs didn't have any problems at all with the Boot Camp upgrade to 3.1. Let's hope the Apple Boot Camp team can reverse engineer my discovery and improve the next version of BC.

(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.
