Nov 13, 2012 6:26 AM in response to ZaYoOoDby BobTheFisherman,There are no Windows 8 Bootcamp drivers. Windows 8 is not supported by Bootcamp.
It works in a virtual machine because Windows 8 is using virtual hardware not your computer's real hardware. Therefore no drivers are needed other than the virtual drivers used by the virtual machine.

Nov 13, 2012 6:29 AM in response to BobTheFishermanby ZaYoOoD,I actually installed Windows 8 using bootcamp assistant, as it says that bootcamp supports Windows 8..
I then installed the included drivers and software, and everything works just fine, including the trackpad and keyboard. The only thing that has an issue is the Magic Mouse, is there a fix for that? -

Nov 13, 2012 9:05 AM in response to Csound1by ZaYoOoD,Ok..
Since you claim that Windows 8 is not supported, I removed it and installed Windows 7 "which of course is supported, I use it with my MacBook Air", the problem still presists..
any thoughts?

Nov 13, 2012 9:29 AM in response to ZaYoOoDby Csound1,Same thought, Apple have not released Windows 8 drivers yet, Windows 7 is supported and in use by many, it works so check your installation.

Apr 11, 2013 12:31 PM in response to ZaYoOoDby Ziggyh,I'm having the same problem on Mac Mini running Windows 8 64bit with latest bootcamp software, which DOES support Windows 8 64bit. The mouse works then you click something and it freezes for a few seconds (like 10) and then comes back.. thought it was my batteries, but it's not... weird ...
Just as I was typing this I found a solution I believe is working on another site :
Laggy Magic Mouse on Boot Camp Windows
I got my new MacBook Pro retina notebook and installed Windows 7 into my boot camp. After installing Windows 8, I installed WindowsSupport drivers that Apple provided me while creating my Boot Camp. However when I connected my magic mouse to my Windows, the problem is that It was a little bit laggy as I track or scroll on the screen. I have spent for 6 hours to resolve this problem but I could not able to find any solution. The problem was actually not about Apple’s Bluetooth drivers but Wireless adapter. I have realized that Wireless adapter was somehow reducing the performance of Bluetooth. The solution is to force Wireless Adapter to collaborate with Bluetooth. When you install drivers Bluetooth Collaboration property of Wireless Adapter comes disabled by default. In order to enable this:
1- Go to Device Manager >> Network Adapters >> Broadcom 802.11 n and right click and choose properties.
2- Choose Advanced Tab.
3- Locate Bluetooth Collaboration from the list. And make it Enable.Now restart your computer and enjoy using your magic mouse / trackpad without any freeze or lag
