Using Magic Mouse with Windows 8.1

Question

Using Magic Mouse with Windows 8.1

Because of my work, I have to use a Windows 8.1 computer even though my personal preference, which I use at home, is a late 2013 Mac Pro (a pretty awesome machine). I have purchased a Mac wireless keyboard and Magic Mouse to use with the Windows box. The keyboard works great but I'm trying to find drivers for the Magic Mouse so that I can use vertical scrolling with it. I found this site: http://pcabletech.wordpress.com/2013/02/14/apple-bluetooth-wireless-keyboard-win dows-8/ which describes a pretty lengthy process for accomplishing this. Would anyone happen to know where I can simply download the appropriate driver to make this work?

Thanks,

Louis

Because Magic mouse is not made for Windows machines you sometimes have to take a long route. Here are three more options to check out. Items 1 and 2 look best.

I can pair with the Magic Mouse, but when running the Magic Mouse Utilities it says "Magic Mouse not Connected." Have you experienced this? The mouse works for clicking and scrolling, but I was hoping to be able to use the gestures for back and forward when using web browsers.
