Default Use all the multi-touch goodness of the Magic Mouse on Win PC?

Apparently, yes you can:

Get Apple’s MultiTouch Magic Mouse To Play Nice on Windows

But I would like to hear of anyone here on the forums who can/has got this to work.

I installed the drivers in win32 and you do indeed get most of the Magic Mouses functionality.

- Cursor movement
- Left click
- Right click
- Vertical scrolling

But that's it.

No Horizontal scrolling

Interesting. Pity about the lack of horizontal scrolling. That really would have been a great kicker.

Based on that, would you recommend it as a Windows mouse?

I had some issues with the input lagging or pausing.

I must admit I only tried it for 5 minutes.

The issues could be with my cheap usb bluetooth adaptor, I am not sure.

I wasn't able to spend any more time on it, as I had work to do.

But I certainly do like the Magic Mouse, my Mighty Mouse Wireless now sits there idle under the monitor.
