MS Classic Intellimouse doesn't work with Mac?

Pugged in an old. but unused, wired Microsoft classic Intellimouse but nothing's happening. My old mouse works fine. Do I need a driver or something for the Mac to recognize it?

Shouldn't need a driver for it to work at a basic level. Drivers might be needed to enable any special features beyond clicking and moving the cursor.


I've used non-Apple mice for years on Macs but not an MS version. Has the mouse worked on other devices?


Is this a port issue? USB-C/Thunderbolt-to-USB-A adapters are available: USB-C to Lightning Adapter
