How To Install The Magic Mouse For Mac

Some may wonder how to use the mouse if it only has a single button, well that’s actually pretty simple. You just need to press Ctrl and the right side of the mouse to get the contextual menu of the right-click open! The trick is that Apple’s hardware is designed to respond to the input based on the left or right side of the mouse.

Although they are kinda spendy, Apple hardware is great and I really like the buttonless, bluetooth Magic Mouse. I started using one with my Windows laptop and was surprised at the lack of info on the interwebs about getting the scrolling to work. Found some paid software for full support but, come on, it’s just a mouse driver. Turns out its really easy: 0. Just download, extract and run. Or if you’d rather download the executable from Apple instead of me (no hard feelings), do this: • Bounce over to Apple and grab the Boot Camp Support Software.

As of right now, the. Or you can check about halfway down and grab other versions from the table. • Extract the ZIP file you downloaded, the mouse driver is in the BootCamp Drivers Apple folder and called AppleWirelessMouse64.exe – just extract and run it.

Also, in there are Windows drivers for just about every other Apple peripheral, yay!

I'm trying to add a Bluetooth mouse to my Apple Macbook using Win10 on a BootCamp partition. --I purchased the Logitech M557 Bluetooth mouse as it seemed to have a great record for robust installation. --Mouse works great on my MacBook laptop with MacOS. --Mouse works great on my HP desktop machine loaded with Windows 10. I can NOT get the bluetooth system to successfully mate with the same mouse with Bootcamp / Windows 10 on the very same Macbook laptop. I suspect that I need custom Windows bluetooth drivers for Bootcamp (which I presume should come from the Apple BootCamp folks.) Via windows device manager, I've removed, added, updated drivers numerous times, all to no avail.

Now, the add bluetooth system sees the mouse, attempts to add it, but fails consistently at: Bluetooth Mouse M557. Try connecting your device again. I have no idea what is generating that code, but no matter what I try I get no where.

Anybody been here before? Are there special Bluetooth drivers for Bootcamp / Windows? Found this response in OK this is how I fixed my problem in Windows 10 Boot Camp on MacBook Pro 2016.

Apple Magic Mouse recognized, paired but kept disconnecting almost immediately if it connected at all. Word for mac symbols. The problem was related to the Power Management under Bluetooth Radio, Properties in Device Manager. I had to uncheck 'Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power'. This has worked for me I'm relieved to say:) Totally nailed it. • Click on start button. • In the search box type devmgmt.msc and then press enter. • Click on the Bluetooth Mouse Icon • Right Click on Bluetooth Radio, Choose Properties.
