Magic Mouse scrolling not working on Dell XPS 15 9570 Windows 10 Laptop

I have a Magic Mouse 2 which I want to pair and use with my new Windows 10, Dell XPS 15 laptop with bluetooth 4.2.

I paired it and windows automatically found the drivers. Left and right click works fine but no scrolling. Looked around and found a few solutions which worked for some but it didn't help in my case.


  1. downloaded the latest version of the latest Boot Camp drivers from Apple's support site: https://support.apple.com/downloads/bootcamp
  2. Unzipped the file and went to \bootcamp5.1.5722\BootCamp\Drivers\Apple\AppleWirelessMouse64.exe and run
  3. It didn't give any error and got the message saying, 'Ready to use'. But can't find anything in device manager to make sure this really installed.

Still only left/right click works and no up/down, left/right scrolling.

Any suggestions?

After some research, I found a solution to this. Bootcamp version available on hhttps://support.apple.com/downloads/bootcamp.

doesn't work for windows 10.


There is no easy way to get bootcamp drivers unless you have a Mac. Found few posts which uses Brigadier.exe to download latest bootcamp software on windows. Here are the steps I followed.


1) Download Brigadier.exe from GitHub. https://github.com/timsutton/brigadier/releases

2) Open cmd prompt on windows and go to the folder containing Brigadier.exe.

3) Type brigadier.exe -m MacBookPro14,1 -This will run the python script and download the bootcamp software that works. Note, I tried passing latest MacBookPro15,1 as argument but that didn't work. Nor MacbookPro12,1.

4) After download is complete, go to BootCamp-091-07726\BootCamp\Drivers\Apple. Run AppleWirelessMouse64 and you are done.

5) I didn't need to unpair and pair again after step 4. Just worked..


Hope it helps someone looking for Magic Mouse 2 to pair with XPS 15 laptop.
