Wireless Mighty Mouse

[smiller]

I'm having trouble with my Wireless Mighty Mouse in Windows (http://blogs.freshlogicstudios.com/Posts/View.aspx?Id=ef8c84d8-044f-4fa2-a8b1-f112b0c29da7).

Of course the specs (http://blogs.freshlogicstudios.com/Posts/View.aspx?Id=ef8c84d8-044f-4fa2-a8b1-f112b0c29da7) do not list Windows in the "System Requirements", but I was wondering if anyone has found a driver that works with Windows XP/Vista.

[kirreip]

yes, and that's actually exactly what apple says here:

http://www.apple.com/de/mightymouse/specs.html

but I believe, that this is only a matter of time until apple (or some other freaks) will release a driver for the mighty mouse. Especially because apple provides a solution to run windows on macs with boot camp.

Mine works without any special work in Windows. I didn't even have to pair it with Windows. The scroll ball does not work, not even from simple up/down scrolling. It defaults to left click, right click, clicking down on the scroll ball is middle click, and squeezing the sides must be button 4 (went back when I pressed it in firefox)

Are you using the new "Bluetooth Wireless" Mighty Mouse... or the old wired version?

I know the Mac Bluetooth peripherals aren't detected by windows xp under bootcamp but is it possible to use PC based bluetooth keyboards and mice by say logitech?:confused:

[kirreip]

yes this is possible. I use the a logitech V270 Cordless Optical Notebook Mouse for Bluetooth. Look here:

It works like a charm in XP and OSX. I didn't even install a driver.

I've got the standard one button MAC MOUSE (bluetooth) and it works fine under XP & OSX Got a mighty mouse bluetooth coming on the 7th Aug so will let people know whether it works or not.


P.S. Currently have a MacMice The Mouse BT and that works in XP & OSX

I have the Wireless Mighty Mouse. I was using Windows XP on Boot Camp, on my MacBook Pro. Haven't tried it on my desktop PC as I can't find the Bluetooth dongle for it.

just got the mighty mouse wireless ... my wireless apple keyboard works but the wireless might mouse does not (in xp) ... so yeah help guys!!!

Got this working in Windows XP (as posted on my blog: http://blogs.freshlogicstudios.com/Posts/View.aspx?Id=ef8c84d8-044f-4fa2-a8b1-f112b0c29da7)

Turns our the default passkey for the Bluetooth Wireless Might Mouse is 0000.

wow thx. now i can buy one! does anyone know how long a set of batterys will last?

[trickyd]

Yep, I am now the proud owner of a Bluetooth Mighty mouse.

I can confirm it does work in Windows XP (however at present, scroll button only controls up and down)

Passcode is indeed "0000" (four zeros)

At last, I can bin the rather cheap looking (but expensive to buy) TheMouse BT

I tried the 0000 passcode on mine, and it worked perfectly when I first set it up, right after installing the drivers and rebooting. But the first time I tried to reboot after setting it up, it stopped working. I tried to remove and add it as a BT device several times from the control panel. Every time I tried it, it would initially say the passkey was fine and the pairing was successful, but when it went to load the mouse drivers and do the setup, I'd get a balloon poping up down in the tray area of my desktop stating that a failure occurred, your device may not work properly. Has anyone else seen this? I'm doing this on a 17" MBP.
