Microsoft USB Dual Receiver Wireless Mouse (IntelliPoint) Driver

The Microsoft USB Dual Receiver Wireless Mouse (IntelliPoint) driver helps Windows recognize the Microsoft USB receiver and communicate with the wireless mouse. A compatible driver supports pointer movement, clicks, and scrolling, while IntelliPoint software may offer additional mouse settings on supported systems.

Key Features

• USB receiver recognition: Helps Windows identify the receiver used by the Microsoft wireless mouse and establish communication with the device.
• Everyday mouse controls: Supports essential functions such as cursor movement, button clicks, and wheel scrolling.
• Optional customization: Compatible IntelliPoint software may provide button assignments and other mouse preferences, depending on the model and Windows version.
• Driver recovery: Installing the appropriate package can help resolve missing-driver or device-recognition problems after a Windows installation or system change.

How to Install

1. Check your Windows version. Confirm whether your computer runs Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7, and check its system type. Choose a download explicitly compatible with your operating system and architecture; older IntelliPoint packages may not support newer Windows releases.

1. Connect the receiver. Plug the Microsoft USB receiver directly into an available USB port. Make sure the mouse has working batteries and is switched on. Allow Windows to attempt automatic driver installation first.

1. Download the appropriate package. Verify that the driver lists the Microsoft USB Dual Receiver Wireless Mouse (IntelliPoint) or the matching receiver hardware ID. Although the download listing may place it in the Network category, this device provides mouse input, not network connectivity.

1. Install the driver. If the package includes an installer, run it and follow the prompts. For an extracted driver package, open Device Manager, locate the receiver or unrecognized device, select Update driver, and browse to the extracted folder.

1. Test and adjust. Restart if prompted, then check pointer movement, clicks, and scrolling. Open Windows mouse settings—or IntelliPoint if compatible and installed—to adjust available options.

For Windows 11 and Windows 10, built-in Windows drivers may provide basic mouse operation without legacy IntelliPoint software. If the receiver remains unrecognized, try another USB port and check Windows Update before attempting a different driver package.
