I just bought a Microsoft Arc Touch Bluetooth Mouse for my Macbook Pro with touch bar (early 2017). It works fine under Mac OS but it won't pair under Windows 10 (Bootcamp).
2017-12-30 Is there any chance to use an obsolete Microsoft Sculpt Touch Mouse with High Sierra OS X, installing a third-party kext? I can't either see the mouse in bluetooth devices, although it used to work in Sierra out of the box in the basic use (cursor only, not touch scroll). I must say that this.
2019-11-2 Stylish and eye-grabbing, Arc ™ Touch Mouse is more than a pretty device. It’s reliable wireless freedom plus Microsoft touch technology, on the go. Use it just about anywhere, even on a rough wood surface or carpet, thanks to BlueTrack Technology 1 BlueTrack Technology does not work on clear glass or mirrored surfaces.Plus you can retain wireless control of your computer up to 15 feet away. 2018-10-16 Arc Touch Bluetooth Mouse Results stated herein are based on internal Microsoft testing. Individual results and performance may vary. Any device images shown are not actual size.
After a lot of frustration I even wiped my Windows 10 installation, reformatted the SSD and installed a clean, virgin version of Windows 10 Pro 1703 as well as the updates from Microsoft and the Apple Software updates that arrived after Bootcamp 6.1.
The Windows 10 Pro Version 1703 shows the Broadcom Serial Bus Driver over UART Bus Enumerator, version 12.0.1.871 in the device manager. The bluetooth icon is visible. Bluetooth pairs fine with all sorts of other devices such as headphones, my radio with bluetooth and so on but it won't connect to any mouse. I also tested it with a Logitech M535 Bluetooth mouse and a Microsoft Sculpt Comfort Bluetooth mouse - with the same negative results under Windows 10 whilst working fine under MacOS Sierra 10.12.5.
When starting the bluetooth menu under Windows 10 it sometimes shows the correct device name (e.g. Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse or Logitech .../M535 mouse) but a couple of minutes later the Bluetooth listing discovers an 'unknown device'. In both cases pairing ends with a time-out after approx. 3 minutes.
I even tried turning off Wifi during the pairing process. All mice had brand-new batteries and I also pressed the little pairing button on each mouse.
