Windows 10: Is a Microsoft Comfort Optical Mouse 3000 supported on Windows 11?

Surface 9 with Windows 11 doesn’t seem to recognize my trusty Microsoft Comfort Optical Mouse 3000.

Microsoft Optical Mouse 3000 not working right with Windows 10

Adjustment of the mouse settings in Windows 10 does not seem to affect my mouse (Microsoft Comfort Optical Mouse 3000). I thought maybe I need a new driver, but Microsoft does not seem to support this mouse under their new operating system (Windows 10) (it
is not listed in the drop down menu at https://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/d/comfort-optical-mouse-3000 ).

Do I need to get a new mouse?

 

Mouse functions no longer supported after updating to Windows 10 (Microsoft Comfort Optical Mouse 3000)

Hello,

After updating to Windows 10, my mouse is no longer supported in the Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center. My mouse is no longer listed and the program only shows my keyboard (Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000, came in the same set). Per the compatibility
listing ( http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/help/windows-8/troubleshooting/mouse/supported-devices ), the Comfort Mouse 3000 is supported, but my Comfort
Optical Mouse 3000 is not, for whatever reason.

Because of this, I can no longer set my mouse buttons for specific programs. Previously I'd set my mouse's side button to zoom in on things with the magnifier (Magnifier.exe under the accessibility/ease of access settings), but I can't do that anymore,
at least without installing a third-party program.

I don't seem to be able to uninstall Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center v2.5.166 and replace it with an earlier version which may be compatible.

Is there a way to do this without other software?

Thanks,

TS

 

Microsoft Comfort Optical Mouse 3000 Scrolling Requires More Scrolls

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that scrolling requires more scroll when using Microsoft Comfort Optical Mouse 3000.



We would like to know if the issues only when using a specific program or on all the programs.



However, I would suggest you to download
Mouse and Keyboard Center 11 on the computer and check if you can change the scroll settings as per your requirement.



You may also refer the steps mentioned in the section The scroll wheel on my mouse isn't working as I expect
from the article
Troubleshoot problems with your Microsoft mouse or keyboard.



Let us know how it goes.
