If you're an Apple fan, you'd be pleased to hear that both the original Magic Mouse and Magic Mouse 2 works near perfectly in Windows 10 with help from some free drivers. Here's how you can set it up!
The Magic Mouse is Apple's flagship mouse device. It is the input device of choice for Mac users who use it with their iMac and even their MacBooks! It was initially released in 2009, stayed in the market for almost six complete years before being replaced by the taller, replaceable-battery Magic Mouse 2.
Now, the thing with Apple in general, and both original Magic Mouse and Magic Mouse 2 in particular is that they don't really design their products to play well with others. Case in point: neither mice come with good, built-in support for Windows over Bluetooth.
In fact, I would say Apple goes above and beyond in ensuring their devices don't work well with others. They really just don't give a hoot. The Magic Mouse works perfectly fine when you run Windows on your Mac through BootCamp, but if you try to connect it with any other Windows laptop or desktop, it refuses to work properly.
As you can tell, I let the mice control my life UNTIL Mouse Magic! Since using these pouches, I have not seen one mouse in the past year!!! I may go overboard with them and place them everywhere and the only down side is my house has a slight smell of mint for a day or so but that is a way better situation then me refusing to live in my house. The Magic Mouse is SEX IN THE FORM OF A MOUSE! A client just gave me one as a present. Best client, EVER! 😀 — Jim Myhrberg (@jimeh) March 1, 2010 Back in October 2009, Apple released the Magic Mouse, the first pointing device with a multi-touch surface.Like with the iPod or the iPhone, you interact with the device using gestures.And of course like with any other mouse, you can click it. Getting Started with Magic Mouse Mac Gestures The first thing you need to do is ensure the gestures are enabled. You do so from System Preferences - Mouse. You'll see two tabs, one for point. To use Magic Mouse, simply pair it with your Mac Mojave. Start by switching on your Magic Mouse. Next, go to System Preferences and find the Set up Bluetooth mouse option. Follow the on-screen instructions so you'll be guided through the entire pairing process. Those who have used Magic Mouse know that people have a love-hate relationship with it. On one hand it is utterly useful if configured correctly, on the other hand the sensitive touch can be a tad too much for power users. Nevertheless, the drivers only allow users to use the basic functionality of Magic Mouse in Windows.
While on OS X, the Magic Mouse 1 and 2 let you use multi-finger gestures for different actions like scrolling, opening Mission Control, switching between full-screen apps and more, on Windows it is pretty much a simple Bluetooth mouse.
Thankfully, we've come across free Windows drivers for Magic Mouse that bring much of its functionality to Microsoft's operating system. It's called Trackpad Magic, and now we'll show you how to set it up! This goes without saying but it works equally well for Magic Mouse 2, too!
