Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Magic Mouse Windows 7 Bootcamp 3.1

Can someone confirm whether or not the new Bootcamp Magicmouse drivers for Windows enable all the finger swiping features of the mouse? If not, exactly what is enabled?

Thanks in advance

Mac Pro Early 2008, Mac OS X (10.6.2)

Strikan,
I had this same exact issue. Here's what I did to resolve it:
1. Remove the mouse from your list of Bluetooth devices if it was added
2. Choose to add a Bluetooth device
3. Right-Click on the Magic Mouse and choose Properties (or Settings)
4. Choose services, and put a checkmark in the empty box (It usually takes a few seconds to show up)
5. Close the properties window and let Windows install the drivers

I could personally never get Windows to connect to the device without following these steps. Hopefully it works for you!

What Chris7519 says is exactly right. The trouble I had was that after right clicking the icon nothing showed up in services, no box to tick. Tried several times over about 24 hours including restarts, and gave up. Tried again next day and it worked ! No idea what had changed. So message is be persistant!
