If you picked up one of Apple’s newly released Magic Mouses with the intentions of using them on a Windows computer you may have noticed that the finger gestures don’t work.

Luckily, a third party developer has come forth to release what they are calling the first Windows Magic Mouse drivers. Of course, you’re going to have to use them at your own risk as we have yet to test them but they have been met with generally well reception thus far. And considering they were actually extracted from Apple’s recent Bluetooth Update, you probably won’t have a problem with them.

You can get the 32-bit drivers here and the 64-bit drivers here.

If for some reason you feel the need to own a touch sensitive number pad then you should check out Elecom’s latest piece of hardware, pcitured above.

This USB powered device will give you the ability to input numbers with touch but that’s not all as it will also double as a trackpad with several gesture based features such as zoom/scroll etc.

There’s no word on if/when this device will hit North American shelves but it will be made available over seas later this month for around $72.
