Some versions of windows require additional drivers to get the touch scrolling to work. these drivers can be found here at this link. http://uneasysilence.com/archive/2009/11/14588/
if you have updated bootcamp to version 3.1 or later. than these drivers are already installed on your system and addition download is not needed. for version 3.0 and prior. these need to be installed.

Some people have been having problems Downloading the drivers from the above Link. Because of this i put Both 32 bit and 64 bit drivers into a zip file which can be downloaded from the following Link

Good luck!

  • Hi tried downloading the drivers and i noticed it worked on Windows 7 PC with vertical scrolling but the vertical scrolling does not work in my hp windows Xp professional PC, i can only perform the left click and the right click. Any idea what else i need to do to allow the double scrolling which is the most important feature to scroll down and up documents and websites?

    Please advise thanks.

  • @xingxing85 No idea. i never ran into that issue before. Maybe try uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling them. Maybe they didn't install correctly or something.

  • the multitouch gestures work?

  • @Bakersak two finger scrolling and two finger tapping work. but Not pinch to zoom.

  • I installed all the drivers but it's NOT pairing with Windows 7... I already have a Apple Wireless keyboard paired but the Magic Mouse is not. Any help? :)

  • @freestuufguru Try going into the Bluetooth Properties and Making sure your Computer is Discoverable. This is Turned off By Default. This might help.  The Magic mouse is a little temperamental. The first Time. I usually have to do it 3 or 4 times before it finally takes. its Not Perfect But it will Work. You just have to Play with it a bit.

  • Impressive. I got it to work but no additional features such as scrolling but at least it's working no code to enter either. This is on 64-bit Win 7.
