Apple’s swanky new Magic Mouse was the talk of the tech world when it was introduced last month, but when it started arriving in users’ hands, the dialogue turned more to what it couldn’t do. But thanks to some ingenious hackers and shareware authors, your mouse is about to acquire a lot more in the way of magical skills.

The first spell is cast for Windows users, who have thus far been left out in the cold if they want to use a Magic Mouse. But it seems that extracting the Magic Mouse driver from Apple’s recent Bluetooth Update 1.0 for Boot Camp (using the shareware WinRar) will get you the necessary 32-bit and 64-bit versions necessary to enable the mouse’s magic and be on par with your Mac brothers.

If you’re a Mac user who isn’t finding their Magic Mouse so magical, shareware developer Samuco has released MouseWizard, a utility to enhance the use of your Magic Mouse. According to their website, you can easily customize your Magic Mouse to increase your productivity.

Among the new functions available to Magic Mouse users with MouseWizard are two extra buttons, pinch and bloat trackpad gestures and special features such as “coverup,” to make your Mac go to sleep.

MouseWizard is available as a fully-functional 10-day trial download which can be unlocked for a mere $2.50. A small price to pay after investing nearly $70 in a Magic Mouse, don’t you think?
