Looking for a wireless mouse for windows 8

I am currently using a Microsoft Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 3000 and it is working just fine. This mouse is several years old and may not say it is for a Win 8 OS - but it is certainly compatible with the new OS.

I don't know if Windows 8 would change the hardware requirements from Windows 7. You might check Askbobrankin.com or windowssecrets.com. You can specifically ask that question at Askbobrankin.com.

To really utilize windows 8 features (gestures, etc.) without a touch screen, we went with Logitech Rechargeable Touchpad T650 with Windows 8 Multi-Touch Navigation - Black and it works 'almost' like a touch screen, but does have a bit of a learning curve.This can easily be used alongside a mouse, but I honestly don't see how anyone could be happy with Windows 8 using only a mouse - too many of the features are gestures that would be difficult if not impossible to duplicate with a mouse. That being said, a mouse WILL lend a lot more control within programs or applications, especially games.Good luck!

Yes, you can use a wireless mouse -- will have to download the required software

Yup, works great! I have a new Dell with W8, I disabled the touchpad (just my preference)& it works from a couple o'feet away. I agree with official reviews that this wireless mouse is about the best. Installs just about instantly after plugging in the wireless USB sender.

I am running windows 7. I pretty sure it will work with windows 8. I base this on the fact that I have never known mice to be OS (operating system) specific. Hope this helps. The mouse works well with or without downloading the software for it. You can go to corsair.com and download the software for the mouse so you can set the dpi settings to what you like.

I'm using Win7 and with SetPoint software you get more functionality with this mouse as well as customization. I would presume Win 8 would be the same. It does work as Plug-n-Play device with regular functionality but with software you get the most from it.

I am running Windows 8 and the Logitech Zone Touch Mouse work beautiful. When I use Windows 8.1 site to check my computer for compatibility all apps & devices checked ok including the Logitech Mouse. I did not download Window 8.1 yet & I will update this answer when I do.

A Bluetooth mouse will work with this. I have a Microsoft Bluetooth mouse working through the Targus. A USB "wireless" mouse will only work with the adapter that came with it.

Download it from Microsoft. You can google "Microsoft optical notebook optical mouse 3000" and get a link right to the driver. Actually, it does not /need/ the software, since both Windows and Mac will initially see it as a basic USB mouse. However, the software will allow you to set the scroll speed and options for the additional button on the side (which usually activates a nifty magnifier).

I've used it with windows 8 and windows 8.1. As far as I can tell, the mouse performs top knotch.

This is a generic Bluetooth mouse; it should work with any operating system that has a bluetooth stack supporting pointing devices. I don't have a Windows 8.1 box to test with, but I can confirm it works on Windows 7, all flavors of Linux, and Mac machines. Even if the stock Microsoft bluetooth stack did not support bluetooth mice, any current 3rd party bluetooth stack does; (bluesoleil, toshiba bluetooth stack, motorola bluetooth stack, Intel bluetooth stack, etc...) I've also tested this with a couple Android devices and it works there too. (Tested on Android 4.0 through 4.4.2)

Yes , this mouse works fine with windows 8. The only issue that i have with that mouse is that it goes thru batteries regularly.

I've used it with Windows 8 with no problems whatsoever. The LEDs continually glow, gradually fading from dull to bright; its a cool effect, and the brightness isn't overpowering. It's been perfect, I highly recommend this mouse.

I'm currently using it with my Surface Pro that runs on Windows 8.Love the mouse. Easy to connect with an off button to save on charged life.Very responsive and great feel.

Works fine with Windows 8 for me. I did not have to install any drivers. Just plugged in the USB dongle and started using the Air Mouse and Keyboard.

My operating system is Windows 7 and the Microsoft mouse works well with it. No issues.
