How to get a Magic Mouse work with a Windows PC

Getting an Apple Magic Mouse to work with a Windows PC is possible. You can either use the Apple Drivers from Boot Camp or go down the load of a 3rd party software. I found the 3rd party software has cost attached to their software. Either option requires some minor setup for the PC user.

Check Compatibility

  • Ensure your Windows PC has Bluetooth capability, either built-in or via a USB Bluetooth dongle.
  • If you’re using Magic Mouse 2, note that gestures will require additional drivers from the bootcamp software.

How to create a USB Boot Stick for Legacy MacOX

Tools you will need:

  • USB Memory stick 32GB
  • Mac that can run 10.15 or below
  • Good Internet Speed

So this one is a little tricky as you need an old machine to setup the installer from. I would recommend a machine that has 10.15 Catalina or below as the Operating System anything more I think you will have an issue trying to download and run the installer. I did try it on a newish machine but when I downloaded the installer it timed out saying the OS would not be able to install. This is due to the machine being to young to run the old OS as the downloader thinks your trying to install say El Capitan to that machine which is why you need a old machine that can handle the old software. I have a old 2012 MacBook Pro which is fine to run the software and as it cannot run any OS higher that Catalina it works fine as the machine to run the terminal command to create the USB installer.
