I am deciding to buy an Apple Magic Mouse but I am wondering about the method which I have to use with Apple's Mighty Mouse:

CASE 1: If I am using OS X and switching to Windows 7:

Remove Mighty mouse from Bluetooth device
Reboot in Windows 7
Add Mighty mouse as new Bluetooth device in Windows 7

CASE 2: If I need to switch back to OS X:

Remove Mighty Mouse from Windows' Bluetooth device list
Reboot in OS X
Add Mighty mouse as new Bluetooth device in OS X

Do I still need to proceed in this way with the Magic Mouse or not?

Using generic Windows bluetooth drivers + Apple Wireless Mouse drivers as Bluetooth HID service. The mouse is connected. It just does not do anything. It does not show up under mice in hardware manager, just as Bluetooth HID. Not using the Apple drivers does not work either. I'm using a logilink BT000… >>> More
