Some people might realize at this stage that they have a Bluetooth-enabled mouse. As long as it uses radio frequencies to communicate to its receiver, you can plug-and-play with the peripheral. If you have a wireless mouse with a USB dongle, it essentially works the same way as a corded USB mouse.
The first step to the connection process is to determine what mouse type you have: It is not unusual for gaming mice to provide basic services only when plugged into a Mac because of this issue. If you use a specialty mouse from a Windows PC, those functions only work if the manufacturer has Apple-compatible drivers for its unique operations. If you start up your Mac in Windows with Boot Camp, the Magic Mouse is practically useless.Īlthough a Bluetooth mouse can pair with your Mac relatively easily, the USB version has a few extra steps to follow. It feels uncomfortable and foreign, especially if you’ve been on PC for several years. Some people transition from Windows to Mac and don’t like how the Magic Mouse functions.
