Windows (7, 8, 10, 11) macOS (10.12+ / macOS versions with HID support) Linux (modern kernels)
Optional vendor drivers: Some vendors supply Windows utilities for advanced features (DPI settings, button remapping, lighting) but these are uncommon for low‑cost models and often not necessary. Bluetooth pairing: If the unit supports Bluetooth rather than a proprietary RF dongle, pairing is handled by the OS Bluetooth stack; no additional driver usually required.
Installation procedures Windows (recommended default path) IMICE GW-X7 Driver — Professional Report Executive summary
Insert batteries and power on the mouse. For 2.4 GHz models, plug the USB receiver into an available USB-A port. Windows will detect “HID-compliant mouse” and automatically install drivers via Windows Update. Wait ~30–60 seconds. If functions are limited, open Device Manager → Mice and other pointing devices → confirm entry; update driver via right-click → Update driver → Search automatically. For custom utilities (if provided by the seller), download only from the vendor’s official site; run installer as administrator and follow prompts.
macOS
For RF dongle models, plug the receiver — macOS should recognize it immediately. For Bluetooth models, open System Settings → Bluetooth → pair the device. No driver installation required for core features. Connectivity: Typically Bluetooth and/or USB 2
Linux
Plug receiver or pair via Bluetooth. Most modern distributions detect HID devices automatically. Troubleshoot via lsusb, dmesg, and xinput if needed. No special kernel module needed beyond standard hid and usbhid.
