usingthe microsoft sculpt mobile mouse, by downloading the Mouse and Keyboard Center , i can rebind the mouse keys, but the WINDOWS key i can't change it, and that is the only key i may(and want) to rebind because i have it (twice) on the keyboard, and i can't find an option to change it, am i missing something? Or is there any way to bypass this limitation
So as said a few times in other answers, the window button is actually sending a keyboad event of the right window key. Now I assume most of us don't even have a right window key, if so you probably only use the left one anyway.
To deactivate the right window key we need to add a Binary value in regedit.Add it manually or save the below text in a .reg file. Works great for me!
Don't forget to reboot after.
I dont like needing auto hot keys and while I don't have a general solution for everyone it should be known the driver for the mouse can be modified to send a different event and then you wouldn't need auto hot keys.
You would then only need to select a different mouse model under the Microsoft software and then remap whatever mouse key you had the driver dispatch for the signal which is received from the mouse when that button is physically pressed (which is different from what is received by the usb receiver for the right Windows key).
I have Windows 11, current on Windows updates AND drivers,updates from my manufacturer(Lenovo). Generally speaking, everything works fine except for 1 significant thing that is pretty annoying. Whenever I lock the desktop(Win-L) and get up for a few minutes, when I return to the pc and log back in, the mouse pointer is almost invariably missing and I have to reboot to get it back(usually by ctrl-Alt-Del to the black screen(or whatever it's called) and then using the key to get down to the power icon and selecting it, then rebooting.
***The ONLY thing I've ever dound to help this is to turn off ALL customization options for the mouse pointer(like size, color(black), trails(which are helpful for locating the mouse pointer - now I have to use the Ctrl key to find it), and that seems to be working(for the past few days), but I really do miss being able to use the pointer trails, larger mouse cursor, etc., as I'm permanently disabled from strokes and my vision gets tired out as the day wears on.
If you don't have the latest graphics drivers installed (WHQL) from the OEM or vendor, things like drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop will not work properly (most animations and visual effects depend on the shader cache.) The mouse pointer / trackpad / peripheral device could be in a low power state, but it's probably just related to your graphics drivers. It's hard to say. You could try this even:
Control Panel -> Device Manager -> Mice and other pointing devices -> Select the device (mouse / trackpad, etc.) -> Right Click -> Properties -> Power Management -> Uncheck: Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power
@Mousefluff, I just went and manually 'updated' the driver to the latest one on Lenovo's website for my pc, then went into device manager after rebooting to verify it is indeed using that new driver. I'll see how it does for a few days and post back later this week with the results...
Update: today(Tues 4/12) - it's still doing the same thing whenever I lock the pc and am afk for any length of time. I had done as suggested and turned that power saving setting for usb to 'never'....but it really doesn't seem to have helped any..... At this point, I'm giving up(at least for the moment) and am guessing the guy who sold this thing on EBay was probably having the same problem. Unfortunately, I've pretty much resigned myself to having to replace it and am trying to snipe a same-model pc on EBay that doesn't have ram nor an O/S, so I can just transfer them from my laptop if I wind up winning it.
@atyar1973 I have the same issue, sometimes waking from sleep or even starting up my desktop I have no mouse cursor but its still there as things are highlighted as I move the mouse around, rather than restarting the machine I find restarting the graphics driver fixes the issue using the shortcut shift+ctrl+windows key+B
I have a doubt, there is a free program to share mouse between linux and windows, I have a PC and a laptop, on the laptop I have w10 and ubuntu mate 18.04, and the pc w10, when I use the PC and laptop with w10, I use the windows software called "Mouse without borders" but it is only for windows, I am looking for a free one for linux and windows, I know that there is sinergy but it is paid
There used to be small print on the Synergy website stating that the payment is to download synergy. It's still open source, and you can might be able to build it yourself, but it might need proprietary binaries.
Hey all. I had the same problem - scrolling wouldn't work on my magic mouse in Widows 10. Run the Apple Software Update app from the start menu. There is a hardware driver update from Apple that fixes the problem. Install it, restart your computer and the scrolling will work properly. It worked for me anyway. I'm running El Capitan, Windows 10 and Boot Camp 6 on a MacBook Pro, Mid 2015.
I have this problem with my Magic Mouse 2, the rechargeable one. I downloaded the drivers from BootCamp, installed the DPInst.exe driver and......nothing, didn't work. I can use every function except up/down scroll.
This might help someone. OK this is how I fixed my problem in Windows 10 Boot Camp on MacBook Pro 2016. Apple Magic Mouse recognized, paired but kept disconnecting almost immediately if it connected at all. The problem was related to the Power Management under Bluetooth Radio, Properties in Device Manager. I had to uncheck 'Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power'. This has worked for me I'm relieved to say ?
Doesn't work for me. After installing AppleWirelessMouse64.exe my Magic Mouse 2 does not scroll. Upon further investigation it is still using the Microsoft mouse driver from 2006(!) and I do not see the Apple Mouse driver in the hardware list. I'm stumped.
You might want to check with Microsoft to see if they will make a driver available for a third party (in this case Apple) mouse. I doubt that Apple would do so as it is their brand mouse working on their brand Mac OS and computer.
Please use System requirements to install Windows on your Mac using Boot Camp - Apple Support to download drivers appropriate for your Mac year/model and Boot Camp: Solve Windows support software installation problems - specifically see the section - Reinstall a specific driver.
Well, I have the same problem but with Windows 10 and there is no setting in the mouse app similar to what was described for W11. Basically this makes the Shapr3d app worthless! So is this a bug or please advise how to fix. Thx
I'm working on a device which communicates with a PC through a (virtual) serial port. The problem is that the data we are sending occasionally gets incorrectly identified by Windows as a bus mouse, after which the "Microsoft Serial Ballpoint" driver is loaded and the mouse pointer starts jumping around on the screen and randomly clicking on things.
A bit of Googling reveals that is an old and well-known problem with serial devices where the usual work-around is a bit of registry hacking to disable the offending driver. That it is a lot to demand from our users however and I'd rather not have our application messing around with the user's registry. Especially not when the fix is dependent on the Windows version and the user may well be using a bus mouse.
Instead I'd like to avoid the problem by changing our protocol to not send any data which may get us misidentified as a mouse. The only problem is that I'm not quite certain what patterns to avoid.Apparently Microsoft's Mouse protocol consists of packets of four bytes where the MSB of the first is set and that of the last three is clear.
It turns out that mouse detection in Windows is normally handled by the serenum.sys filter driver. This driver implements support for legacy serial mice along with serial plug-and-play. Microsoft has even provided the sourcecode as a WDK sample.
During detection the ports switches to 1200-7-N-1 mode while asserting DTR+RTS to which a response is expected within 200 ms, with a couple of retries in case of failure. Unfortunately for a legacy mouse a single M or B character suffices as identification.
However we were using a virtual USB serial port and for a traditional serial port this approach may be somewhat difficult as anything sent at a different baud rate is liable to look like line noise. In this case I suppose the easiest workaround is probably, as has already been suggested, to avoid making any unsolicited transmissions.
Alternatively with the serial control signals actually hooked up, or intercepted by a USB CDC device, processing the DTR or RTS signals and holding off on output. Actually implementing the plug-and-play protocol would be an even niftier option. Supposedly there are cheap RS232 cables around without a full complement of control signals though so this approach might still fail.
I also encountered this problem, fixed it by disabling "serial enumerator" in the advanced properties of the FTDI driver (properties of COM ports in Device Manager). This is described in _107_AdvancedDriverOptions_AN_000073.pdf.
Alternatively, you can hack in boot.ini but I don't believe this works in Vista/Win 7. I have some app note from Cisco systems describing how to do this. If the above doesn't solve your problem, please let me know.
This seems to solve the culprit of my problem. Before doing so, the CH340G chip I've used in my design used to lower the DTR five times before initiating the connection, effectively rebooting my Arduino-based board and render it useless.
RESET-Pin was not required in our application, so we connected it to Vcc via 1k Pull-Up.It seemed that the pull-up of #RESET-Pin caused an undefined start-up of the FT232RL, at least every second converter, we connected to a USB-socket caused a serial-ball-point in the devive manager. We removed the pull-up-resistor at #RESET-Pin, therewith the #RESET-Pin is unconnected. Since then every interface worked proberly and didn't any longer create serial-ball-points in the Windows device manager.
