Magic Mouse with Windows 7

As you know Windows 7 has multitouch features built in. So why not use them? Don’t have a tablet or some other multitouch screen? Ok, no problem!

Let’s use Apple’s Magic mouse with Windows 7. Magic mouse is a recently launched Apple gadget. It is a multitouch mouse and gives a new meaning to interaction with computers. It is made to use with Macs only but some folks at UnEasySilence.com have managed to hack the Mac drivers to work on Windows 7 as well as Windows XP. People already have success using it on Windows 7 via bootcamp though.

All you need to do is to download the drivers from UnEasySilence, install them on Windows 7, connect the magic mouse to your PC and you are done!

Enjoy the multitouch computing!

    Ahhh here’s the catch, unless you have the microsoft default bluetooth drivers installed your gonna run into severe problems (driver not installing random freezes etc.
    Uninstall your toshiba (or whatever bluetooth stack in win7 and guess what if your running vista or xp you better hope it’s compatible with the apple bluetooth stack or you will not be able to scroll 7 out of 10 times.
    I just figured that out today
