Bluetooth Mouse for Bootcamp
Thanks. I'm currently using an old BT Mighty Mouse, but the roller balls eventually crap out, and Apple is no longer making them.

Have a Logitech V470 that won't install properly in Windows 7 (in Bootcamp partition). It recognizes and installs, then disappears. Re-install yields a "recognition" issue, and ultimately it won't work. I will look into the Rocketfish mouse. I assume your Windows 7 installation is in Bootcamp (versus VMWare or Parallels). Can you confirm?
Thanks.
THANK YOU!!! I can use my V470 now! 😀
OMG, THANK YOU SO MUCH!
I know this is a very old post but I just spent WAY to much time trying to download drivers, update my Windows 7, etc. in the hopes of getting my Microsoft Sculpt mouse to work and your simple method of "right click the device, go to properties, and check the driver box in the services tab" made me SOOOOO happy...and feel a bit like a dee dee dee.
But I can now use my mouse and that is AMAZING!
Thanks again!
I concur. My new Logitech M557 BT mouse was discovered by Win7 in Bootcamp install but would never fully connect - it timed out. I had pretty much given up hope to making the M557 work, having mainly played with perceived driver errors which could not be identified. The solution from GeneonMAC works perfectly, but you have to do the right click for properties immediately after the icon for the discovered mouse appears - it won't come up if the 'connecting to device' runs very long.
