Question about

Why does the Magic Mouse seem to have such trouble syncing with windows in bootcamp?

I often have to remove the device in device manager and re-add it in order to get it to recognize the thing. I like the mouse on the mac side but its definitely a limited use device, terrible for gaming too.

Do you have the latest version of Bootcamp? Apple suggests that may be the problem. You can download it here: support.apple.com­/kb­/TS3039

It may also be an issue with Windows bluetooth drivers and implementation. Apple seems to be the only company pushing bluetooth connectivity for peripherals - most every other manufacturer uses a wireless USB dongle of some description.

Logitech seems to be starting to come around, however. =)
