The latest version of bootcamp will be downloaded and extracted using 7-zip within the same brigadier folder. Next open up windows explorer and navigate inside the original brigadier folder and locate the folder: BootCamp-091-07726 Bootcamp Drivers Apple. Inside this folder you should see an executable file' AppleWirelessMouse64.exe. I have a Dell laptop with Windows 10 installed (it's a standard installation, no bootcamp, no MacOS).

The Magic Mouse is Apple’s flagship mouse device. It is the input device of choice for Mac users who use it with their iMac and even their MacBooks! It was initially released in 2009, stayed in the market for almost six complete years before being replaced by the taller, replaceable-battery Magic Mouse 2.

Now, the thing with Apple in general, and both original Magic Mouse and Magic Mouse 2 in particular is that they don’t really design their products to play well with others. Case in point: neither mice come with good, built-in support for Windows over Bluetooth.

In fact, I would say Apple goes above and beyond in ensuring their devices don’t work well with others. They really just don’t give a hoot. The Magic Mouse works perfectly fine when you run Windows on your Mac through BootCamp, but if you try to connect it with any other Windows laptop or desktop, it refuses to work properly.

While on OS X, the Magic Mouse 1 and 2 let you use multi-finger gestures for different actions like scrolling, opening Mission Control, switching between full-screen apps and more, on Windows it is pretty much a simple Bluetooth mouse.

Thankfully, we’ve come across free Windows drivers for Magic Mouse that bring much of its functionality to Microsoft’s operating system. It’s called Trackpad Magic, and now we’ll show you how to set it up! This goes without saying but it works equally well for Magic Mouse 2, too!

Setting up Trackpad Magic to use Magic Mouse in Windows 10

Step 2: Open the EXE file. This will launch a setup wizard for installing the driver utilities for your Magic Mouse. Follow the on-screen instructions to set it up.

Step 3: In an odd little move, the setup wizard will download some additional utilities for your particular Magic Mouse. I expected it would already do this when you had to choose which model you’re downloading the wizard for, but okay, not a big issue.

Step 4: Run the installed utilities from the final page in the setup wizard. If you didn’t do so, search for Magic Mouse utilities from the taskbar. Chances are, however, you can also access the installed drivers from the system tray.

Step 5: Pair your Magic Mouse 1 or 2 with your Windows computer via Bluetooth and enjoy. Be sure to keep the utility open while pairing and during its use. The last weekend game download.
