Hello everyone, I know it may not be a related issue, but I wonder if anyone was able or has information on how to make this as starting point to support Windows, IE. Make a reliable driver for apple magic mouse on Windows, the issue with the official driver is that it doesn't support scrolling, but only mouse movement and it disconnects frequently, I made a tiny windows service that prevents disconnection and it's working fine but the scrolling issue remains. I have tried Magic Mouse Utilities also, which solves this problem, but it's closed source and paid program, you have to pay for a license per device per year, or you may buy a multiyear license which is a joke. So if anyone has a hint or a starting point we may collaborate to solve this issue. Thank you.

You can check out this https://github.com/imbushuo/mac-precision-touchpad. I just installed it on Windows and enabled the touchpad in settings which works perfect.

Seems like this is designed for touchpad, have you tried it with magic mouse?

My apologies. I thought you want support for trackpad and I don't have magic mouse.
