Microsoft Mouse
Microsoft Mouse is a preference pane for macOS System Settings that allows users to customize the behavior of Microsoft mice and trackballs. It lets you configure mouse buttons, pointer speed, scrolling behavior, and device-specific features. The preference pane is part of the Microsoft Mouse driver software (formerly known as IntelliPoint) and supports a wide range of Microsoft hardware including Arc, Sculpt, IntelliMouse, Wireless Laser and Notebook models. The pane is updated through the parent Microsoft Mouse driver installer rather than through System Settings itself.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionThe Microsoft Mouse preference pane is a component of the Microsoft Mouse driver software, not a standalone application. It cannot be updated independently through System Settings or the Mac App Store. To keep this preference pane working on your Mac, you must update the parent Microsoft Mouse driver to a version with native Apple Silicon support. Visit Microsoft's support page for Microsoft Mouse drivers and download the latest native-compatible version for macOS on your M-series Mac. Once installed, the preference pane will be updated automatically and will continue to function properly. If you are running an Intel-only build of the Microsoft Mouse driver, it will stop launching when Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), so updating to a native build of the driver is important sooner rather than later.
