no the magic mouse will only work on a mac, and your mac must have os 10.5.8 (leopard) or later or os 10.6.2 (snow leopard) or later.

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.

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.

Thanks KimmiKat for letting me know that the New Magic Mouse does work on a Windose Machine!Since you mentioned that you have tested it with Bluetooth enabled PC, I would like to know if it have some limitations or if all functions works Flawlessly?

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 &gt; mouse &gt; 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.

I use an Apple wireless keyboard, which I love. I see no way a mouse can be used with it. I also like the Orgami Workstation.

If you can use a and non Bluetooth wireless mouse you can use this keyboard if not it won't work because it may need a driver in order for it to work like when you connect something to a PC.

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!

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 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.

I had never tried before and it does with my logitech mouse...you just have to be sure to connect to it manually on the sharing port screen. Remember however, you mouse only has a range of a few feet so might defeat the purpose of a wireless hub! I am using windows 8.1...be sure to use updated driver. Ihad problems with the one that shipped.

I personally removed it from my desk top pc and plugged it into my MacBook PRO 2010 (OSX 10.8.4). The MBP saw the mouse as a external keyboard and requested a driver. I checked and found no support for a Mac (mouse) driver. So this mouse did not work for me with a MAC. If one of the others who replied could explain how they tested and made it work, that would be more helpful.

This mouse was inconsistent in pairing, so I would imagine it would be worse if you didn't have a bluetooth with your PC and have to go with another source. It only worked a few times, then every day I would have to pair the mouse and many times it would pair at all.

Sharon, Yes it connects through bluetooth. Not sure about a mouse but I am sure there may be one that could bluetooth connect. I will check into that. :)

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.

What version of windows are you running and are the batteries placement correct? I have te exact same keyboard and mouse and they work perfectly on Windows 8.1 Pro. plus I also have a Bluetooth wireless 3.0 device and a Bluetooth wifi 3.0 device all next to the blue tooth for keyboard an mouse , it might just be user error all items I have personally bought from amazon work great, plus you might have bought the item from a lower manufacturer on the selection list on Amazon... and just FYI the issue for ghosting is because of the device is too far away from his receiver for it to connect perfectly to the computer, move the device closer and it will function perfectly What version of windows are you running and are the batteries placement correct?

We've used this on both a Mac and PC. As long as the computer is blue tooth enabled, you'll should able to use the mouse.

A bluetooth mouse is perfect because it doesn't use your USB port; however, if you have a USB port to spare then a USB mouse will work too. I prefer the bluetooth mouse. Hope this information helps.

I think the bluetooth is referring to how the nano USB receiver finds the mouse. Meanng it is wireless. There is no button I can see that would allow you to pair this with another device without the dongle. But that is a really small receiver! I even tried to see if my iPad could see the mouse with the Bluetooth on. Nope. My laptop does not have Bluetooth to test this.
