According to this article (http://reviews.cnet.com/Apple_Mighty_Mouse/4505-3148_7-31985391.html) @ CNET, you might just need to have your computer try to detect it again.

I am fairly sure I remember reading somewhere that you cant use the BT MM with a PC :mad:

But then I could be wrong.

I have the bluetooth keyboard and might mouse. They work, BUT:

1) When you first start I have to turn them both off and back on again and wait 3 minutes.

2) When the Windows XP goes to sleep the above trick needs to be down and often does not work requiring me to hit the power button and restart the computer.

This is on an C2D 20" imac.

The Dell's Bluetooth software found the mouse and even recognized it by name, but the Mighty Mouse was never able to assume control of the cursor. Apple advised us that the Mighty Mouse was meant to be used with a Mac, and it appears that its advice was correct.


it was in Cnet review
may be i have to wait until Loepard release to use that mouse

If I remember didn't it come with a CD. If it did have you installed the software?

My Wireless MM worked perfectly with Windows Vista - I didn't have to do anything.

...Although Windows XP might be different.

Try this



The BT Mighty Mouse DOES work in Windows XP.

I am using it right now. First off, you need to pair it with the passkey 0000 - then in windows, go to “Bluetooth Configuration”, then select the Might Mouse, click “Properties”, then go to the “Services” tab.

Once there, click the checkbox in the list, then OK.

It works fine, I’m using it right now. If you google, you will find many references on this exact thing.
