Bluetooth mouse + Bootcamp

Cheetah Designs · 17 Feb 2012 at 19:01

I have a Belkin Bluetooth mouse which is paired with my Macbook Air in OSX. How can I get it to work in Bootcamp aswell?

I tried pairing it again in Bootcamp but just says "connecting to device" and never actually pairs.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Sounds like a driver + Windows issue rather than Apple/Bootcamp. So look up the mouse model on the interwebs and search for the Windows drivers.

I've had it installed on Windows before and it was fine! There aren't any drivers anywhere either.

There's no need with all this renaming business. You just pair it in Windows first, and then Mac OS X. I have the same Belkin mouse and ran into the exact same problem. Basically if you pair in Mac OS X first, it will never pair on Windows thereafter. Stupid I know!
