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!!!

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.

Wireless Mighty Mouse, no disk?

Hello,
Apple's store shows the contents to include a disk with the Wireless Mighty Mouse.
I purchased one from Best Buy and there is no disk in the box.
What gives?
Thanks
Frank

Hello. I have one that I bought from Apple Store and I can confirm that there is no CD included. The mouse worked with Mac OS X out of the box. I think Mac OS X has the drivers already for it or available as a software update if you're using an older OS X. As for the utilities, again it's already available in System Preferences after it's paired.

Wireless Mighty Mouse Name Changes

For the past 5 months, I've used the same wireless Mighty Mouse without issues. During that time it retained the name I gave it upon setting it up for the first time. Then this morning (3/15), I go on my Mac and see it is label as "[MyLastName]'s mouse" and then after a few moments "[MyFirstName]'s mouse." I tried to change the name back, but I don't have the rename option under the Bluetooth cogwheel, only update name is available. Any thoughts?
This may seem trivial, but I always get concerned when something on my MBP changes suddenly. Thanks!

HI
Mine works...I had to have it manually recognize the bluetooth mouse and install it. Right click the bluetooth icon in the lower right bar on windows and then go thru the recognition and install. When I boot up into windows, takes about a minute after finishing booting for the mouse to be recognized, but it works OK then

Apple wireless Mighty Mouse not working in Windows XP Pro/Boot Camp

I was able to get Windows XP Pro to install successfully on my new iMac, but I can only get a wired Microsoft USB mouse to work with it. When I boot to WinXP with just my wireless Mighty Mouse, the wireless mouse is completely unresponsive. Has anyone else experienced this, and is there a solution? Thanks!

Why not post in the Boot camp forum:

Windows 7 and Wireless Mighty Mouse, Wireless Keyboard and sound problem

Hi,
I just installed Windows 7 x64 Ultimate on my iMac 24" white ( OS X Leopard 10.5 ). Surprisingly, it installed without any problems. The only problems I have now are the Wireless Mighty Mouse and the Wireless Keyboard ( alu ).
After I installed Windows I inserted the Leopard Instal DVD and installed Boot Camp. I got a message right away saying that: "This program has known compatibility issues...". I clicked Run program and continued. Soon I got the same warning, but this time not for Boot Camp, but Intel Chipset Device Software. I clicked Run program yet again and it continued installing. Then I got a different warning: "Service KeyAgent' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." I clicked Ignore and installation continued. I got another "Service Mac HAL' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." warning, clicked Ignore again and after that it finished soon and I restarted the computer.
When I came back into Windows there was no Apple folder anywhere or any sign that I have just installed Boot Camp ( should there be? )
I installed Boot Camp Update 2.1 for Windows XP ( because Vista x64 version wouldn't start ) and basically I got the same warnings I did when I installed Boot Camp from the Leopard DVD ( described above ). I also tried to instal Boot Camp Update 2.2 for Windows, but it didn't start. I also downloaded Bluetooth Update 1.0, but all I got was a message saying: "This update is not intended for this computer and will not be installed.".
There is also no sound.
This is basically it, I really hope some of you who run Windows 7 with wireless keyboards and mice can help me, because I desperately need this to work ( I use a Windows only program for school ).
PS. I have a 2007 iMac 24" white and while it is not on the we're-not-supporting-that list for the infamous Windows 7 Boot Camp update, all other iMacs from its generation are. Any ideas?

Found a solution for the "Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model" message. Here is the link: http://www.techulous.com/hardware/how-to-apple-boot-camp-64-bit-for-windows-7-on -unsupported-macs.html
Everything works ( for ) now. Yay!

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!

Wireless Mighty Mouse Power Usage

OK, why can I not find how much power is used for Apple's Wireless Mighty Mouse. This mouse is cool and I like not being tethered BUT it is eating alive the batteries like they are nothing.
I disable the device by turning it off when I am not using it.
My solutions is to start using rechargeable batteries BUT as I read up on that technology it is clear I need to purchase the right ones, that will give me the longest use from them.
But to do this I need to figure out how much power the Mighty Mouse consumes if used constantly for say an hour.
I have looked every where including the Tech Spec's, one would think that information would be in there, but to no avail.
Thanks for any input in advance,
Rob

My Bluetooth mouse does the same thing. I can usually get about two months use out of the batteries using Alkaline. If I use Lithium batteries, about two weeks longer. So in the long run, for me at least, it's more cost effective to use the alkaline batteries. Lithium rechargeables are are available as well as other types of rechargeable batteries, but they never really seem to last as long as their non-rechargeable counterparts and of course after several charges, begin to have shorter and shorter lifespan between charges. At least that's been my experience and may or may not always be the case with all rechargeable batteries what with newer charging technology.

Wired Mighty Mouse vs. Wireless Mighty Mouse

Hey, my wired Mighty Mouse track ball just crapped out on me (I can't scroll down anymore) so I guess I am looking to buy another one.
Does anyone have any experience and/or opinions on the Wireless Mighty Mouse track balls being any more reliable or longer-lasting than the Wired Mighty Mouse track balls? Or are they both pretty much the same quality-wise?
Many thanks.

Trust me, copelander, a mighty mouse that will not scroll in one direction is almost always simply dirty. I have two (one BT one wired) each of which I bought very soon after they first came out. Essentially failure to scroll in one direction means that one of the four directional sensors that it relies on has got clogged.
Cheby (above) describes the usual solution very well. Simply disconnect the mouse, hold it upside down, and rub the ball vigorously in all directions on a clean piece of paper. Try to avoid "running over" any of the tiny black specs that will probably appear on the paper , as the ball is good at picking them up again.
If things have progressed beyond the this, the tip of something like the plastic toothpick that comes with swiss army knives, or a cable tie, worked gently in around the edge of the ball, can help, but be gentle so you don't damage the mechanism. Some people also use a dab of isopropyl alcohol on a clean cloth applied to the ball.
To keep your MM running smoothly for a long period, clean it using the "rubbing on paper" trick AS SOON AS you get the slightest sign of bad scrolling, or every few days, whichever comes sooner. Once you have done this for a while you will find that the problem becomes much less frequent, as the internals get rid of any accumalated residual gunk.
People who smoke, and those whose hands get oily or grubby for one reason or another, seem to have more problems with this issue, and might want to think about a regular 'wheel" mouse instead, but I've found that a minute of preventative maintenance every few days keeps my MM's scrolling beautifully in all directions. I haven't noticed any difference in the behaviour of the wireless or wired models in this respect. They both use the same scroll ball mechanism, so this isn't surprising.
As far as choosing between a wired and a wireless one goes for use with an MBP the wired one is lighter, and probably uses less battery than having bluetooth running all the time. On the other hand, the BT one can be handy if you are working in cramped quarters, and don't want a jumble of wire to deal with.

Wireless Keyboard + Wireless Mighty Mouse questions

Hey everyone, Mac users please don't hate me for asking this but I have some questions about using the Apple wireless keyboard and wireless Mighty mouse on a windows XP PC (Not in boot camp).
I have already bought the wireless keyboard, and have it working with my Windows PC using a Belkin bluetooth dongle, and was just wondering why the Control + Alt + Delete combo on the apple keyboard of (Control + option + Fn + Backspace) isn't working for me? I think it may be something to do with the keyboard being wireless, or possibly the Fn key will not work in Windows? I also would like to be able to remap some of the "F" keys on the wireless keyboard to windows functions like the volume and playback/ pause media keys. Is there any software anyone can reccomend which will allow me to do this?
My second question is about the wireless mighty mouse. I haven't bought it yet, but I have strong intentions of doing so and using it with a Windows XP (to be updated to Win7 when it gets out of beta ~Sept) PC. I love apple hardware- peripherals especially, which is why I already bought the wireless keyboard and now wish to buy the Mighty mouse along with a 30" Apple display to use with the PC in my office at home. I have read mixed reports on many Mac forums about the compatability of the WMM with Windows, and have come here to get it cleared up before I spend close to £50 on a mouse that may or may not work. I heard somewhere that some but not all functions of the mouse would work in Windows, whereas somewhere else I read that a guy had installed a driver that was extracted from a (I think Leopard) Mac install disk and that the mouse was working 100% on his XP or Vista PC.
Any help would be greatly appreciated guys, I built myself a special edition of one of my own design Eclipse series PC's to put in my new office at the start of this year and normal monitors/ peripherals just dont look right in that room because its very minimalist and modern and Apple make the most minimalist but functional hardware I know, which is why I want to use this KB/Mouse/Monitor combination.
Thanks,
Matt.

I'm REALLY interested in how you got your Apple wireless keyboard to work on your XP PC. Was the keyboard recognized and working immediately? I've been reading thread after thread; still can't figure it out. Can you provide any help? Thanks.

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 or logitec

hey guys, just wanted everyones two cents on the subject.
wireless mighty mouse or logitec?
i see good reviews for both.

Well,
It really depends on a few things.
First - You buy an Apple computer - it's a lot more expensive than a PC but most people doesn't really mind as it sends a certain statement to own a Mac Ohhh and it does!
So, if you own a high-quality, state-of-the-art, sweet-designed, kick-a** machine - why purchase a Logitech mouse? The Mighty Mouse complements the design (and the image) perfectly... And it's a fairly good mouse.
BUT!
If you use your Mac for gaming (hard to imagine as the PC is better for this) the Mighty Mouse is actually not that good. Last night I played Doom4 and had to use the left and the right mousekey at the same time - NOT gonna happen with Mighty Mouse
I use a Might Mouse on both work and at home and I love the little creature. It's a great mouse and work just as I want it to (unless I play Doom4). But at my home desk I also have a Logitech mouse attached - just in case I need a gaming mouse.
But the best thing would be to find a way to try out both. Each one would be great it its own way. Depends on your needs and your "image"
Don't think this helps you at all

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).
