Could Work with a BlueTooth PC with Windows? I am aware that the new Magic Mouse is for Apple-Computers with BlueTooth...But, I would like to know if could work with a BlueTooth PC with Windows?

It does work on a Windoze machine. I tested it with both a Bluetooth enabled PC and a Mac using Bootcamp. It even works on the "Hackintos" side on the PC.

Yes it works great. Just pair the mouse with the laptop by making sure bluetooth is turned on and then hitting the connect button on the bottom of the mouse. On the mac you can click the 'pair' button from the System Preferences > mouse > setup bluetooth mouse. The two buttons on the top of the mouse work fine and the scroll wheel is a button as well. The side buttons also work too.

Hi Lynda, yes, I bought this mouse to use with my PC and it works great. The mouse is located about 3 feet away from the PC. Hope this helps.

I used it with a Bluetooth mouse on win7 and it's perfect. No setup - plug and play.

Like Aggort says this is not great for Apple PC's there is an Apple driver but they never upgraded the driver. This mouse is not so great anymore, it is dated even with Windows. If you don't need a wireless mouse go check out Corsairs line of mice even look at Steelseries mice. They might make wireless mice, I never checked for wireless I just went corded.

I can't add anything to the conversation except that this mouse worked out of the box on Windows 7. I understand a lot of folks have had problems with computers recognizing the usb device. If you just search the part number, you will find many suggestions. Hope this helps.

if you say a Hail Mary, cross yourself, turn around 3 times, throw salt over your shoulder, and hold your mouth just right. My Microsoft Bluetooth mouse works with my Nook HD+ all the time, with my droid sometimes with some fanageling, and maybe with a Windows 8 notebook, My HDE mouse works great with the Win 8 machine. Using my Anker Bluetooth keyboard with either of them affects the puter's ability to pair with the mouse, or with the keyboard. Usually can unpair and then connect again. The land of Bluetooth remains a largely unexplored wilderness; a jungle full of bugs.

I believe any Bluetooth mouse will work! Bluetooth has almost endless compatibility options.

Hi, When I look for bluetooth radios in the device manager it is not there so technically I guess it doesn't have bluetooth, but let me ask you why do you need it? The reason I am asking is, I have connected a wireless mouse and keyboard via a USB port and they work just fine. The only other reason I can think of that you might want bluetooth is to transfer files, but there is a multitude of other ways to do that. The most important question is how did I only pay $619 for the exact same computer on Amazon. I bought when Amazon had them in stock just 4 weeks ago and it was sold and fulfilled by Amazon. Now there are only other vendors. This laptop is incredible and I wouldn't let bluetooth stop me because technically, I think you can do everything you need without it. Again, I am doing a bluetooth keyboard and mouse with it just fine from 20 feet away. Keep checking the price and when it goes back to $619 - buy it.

Works on my 10.8.5 Mac, no need to install drivers. Plugged it in and the Bluetooth pane showed up in System Preferences, and easily paired with Apple bluetooth keyboard and Magic Mouse. It's Apple's recommended adapter in order for wake to sleep and other bluetooth features to work properly. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3940?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

I had the same question when I saw this mouse. Searching the user reviews for "bluetooth" shows this mouse is NOT bluetooth compatible. The mouse specs say "Bluetrack technology", but it apparently requires the USB dongle. Hopefully MS will release a future Arc Touch mouse that supports bluetooth. I'd like to replace my laptop travel bluetooth mouse with a portable flat designed mouse like this one.

This mouse is a wireless mouse but has to be connected via USB. It is not a Bluetooth Mouse. You would need to find a Bluetooth Mouse like the HP x4000b Bluetooth mouse found on amazon here for $29.99: HP x4000b Bluetooth Mouse - Matte Black

It works great with Windows 8.1 64bit. I custom build my system. I tried to use the mouse in the past, and I could never get it to work. I believe I finally figured that using usb wireless adapters didn't work. I bought a high end Pci express wireless network adapter with 3 antennas' and it works awesome. The drivers from Hp website and I haven't had a problem. It is a life saver for freeing up a usb slot.

This is not a Bluetooth device, it has the cordless USB insert for connectivity. I have accidently purchased a Bluetooth mouse only to find out that Window's OS does not support Bluetooth. Bluetooth can be used with non-Window's based devices such as Droid or Apple tablets.

Yes!... The Apple Bluetooth Mighty Mouse works perfectly on all my systems: OS X 10.3 thru 10.9!... No problems whatsoever!...AND... it's NOT the battery HOG that the Magic Mouse is!... I've kept it in service all these years mainly because of its Middle Mouse Button (MMB) functionality that 3D programs utilize extensively!

Yes, it's a full Windows PC and works virtually like a laptop. You can connect a mouse via USB or bluetooth.

There aren't any Windows drivers for this mouse, even for Boot Camp on Macs. The next Boot Camp update will probably have Windows drivers that add more of the features, but who knows how long it will be until that comes out. When those come out, you can buy one for a Windows PC, but it might never have all the features it does for OS X.It will work on Windows if all you need is to point and click. No scrolling, no gestures. Works as a basic Bluetooth mouse.
