当您使用计算机时，鼠标是您体验舒适度的重要组成部分。您在 iMac 或 MacBook 前花费的时间越多，您就越意识到舒适是您的首要任务，因此将您最喜欢的鼠标连接到它是合乎逻辑的下一步。但是，如果您选择的鼠标不是Apple默认的Magic Mouse，而是另一款蓝牙鼠标(Bluetooth mouse)怎么办？你还能在 macOS 上使用它吗？答案是肯定的，本指南将向您展示如何将蓝牙鼠标(Bluetooth mouse)连接到 Mac：
注意：(NOTE:)本指南涵盖 macOS Mojave或更新版本。我们指南中共享的功能可能不适用于旧版本的 macOS。要检查您的 macOS 版本，请阅读我有什么版本的 macOS？
将您的（非 Apple）蓝牙(Bluetooth)鼠标连接到您的Mac
虽然Apple的Magic Mouse是一款出色的产品，并且它的某些功能（例如手势(Gestures)）可用于让您的生活更轻松，但我们中的一些人更喜欢在向下滚动页面时将这些功能换成舒适、可靠的鼠标滚轮(mouse wheel)声音. 我们选择的（噪音较大的）鼠标是经济实惠的Microsoft 蓝牙移动鼠标 3600(Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Mouse 3600)，所以让我们回顾一下它的设置，它类似于您可能想要使用的任何其他蓝牙鼠标。(Bluetooth mouse)
首先，通过单击或点击Apple 标志打开(Apple logo)系统偏好设置(System Preferences)，然后从下拉菜单中转到相应的选项。
在系统偏好设置(System Preferences)窗口中，转到蓝牙(Bluetooth)。
接下来，将您的蓝牙鼠标(Bluetooth mouse)设置为配对模式。在我们的例子中，我们必须按住Bluetooth/On button3 秒钟。在蓝牙鼠标(Bluetooth mouse)中激活配对模式只有两种可能的方法，具体取决于其设计。鼠标可以有一个专门的按钮来控制蓝牙配对(Bluetooth pairing)，也可以有一个按钮来控制蓝牙配对(Bluetooth pairing)和再次打开和关闭鼠标。我们的鼠标使用第二种方法，在这种情况下，您需要按住该按钮一段时间（持续时间可能不同）才能将其设置为蓝牙配对(Bluetooth pairing)模式。
一旦您的Mac看到鼠标，它就会在蓝牙(Bluetooth)窗口中显示它。单击或点击连接(Connect)并等待几秒钟。
当您看到鼠标下方的已连接状态时，您就可以开始了。(Connected)关闭蓝牙(Bluetooth)窗口，然后根据需要使用鼠标。
提示：(TIP:)如上所示，您可以同时连接Magic Mouse和普通鼠标。它们都可以用来控制你的Mac，你可以在它们之间交替而不需要做进一步的改变。这可以在某些应用程序中派上用场，例如需要中键才能获得某些功能的应用程序。
在Mac上自定义常规蓝牙鼠标(Bluetooth mouse)
如果您仅在Mac上使用常规蓝牙鼠标(Bluetooth mouse)（并且任何Apple 鼠标在(Apple mouse)蓝牙(Bluetooth)首选项中已断开连接），则 macOS 提供的自定义选项不同于使用Apple魔术鼠标(Magic Mouse)附带的默认选项。但是，正如您在执行以下步骤时所看到的那样，它们也很容易访问。首先(First)，单击或点按Apple 标志(Apple logo)，然后从下拉菜单中选择系统偏好设置。(System Preferences)
在“系统偏好设置”(System Preferences)窗口中，转到“鼠标”(Mouse)。
鼠标(Mouse)窗口允许您调整多项设置，例如滚动方向(scroll direction)、将哪个鼠标按钮用作主要按钮，以及跟踪、滚动和双击的速度。
我可以在 MacBook 和 iMac 上使用任何蓝牙鼠标(MacBook)吗？(Bluetooth mouse)
按照本指南中的步骤，任何带有内置蓝牙(Bluetooth)的鼠标都应该没有问题连接到MacBook或 iMac。(MacBook)为了安全起见，您还应该检查鼠标是否与 macOS 兼容。如果您在线购买鼠标(mouse online)，产品详细信息应包含此信息。如果您在零售店购买，请查看其包装上的Mac 兼容性(Mac compatibility)符号。
重要提示：(IMPORTANT:)蓝牙鼠标(Bluetooth mouse)与无线鼠标(wireless mouse)不同，主要区别在于它们连接到计算机的方式。第一个具有内置蓝牙芯片(Bluetooth chip)，可使用计算机的蓝牙芯片(Bluetooth chip)与鼠标配对。但是，无线鼠标(wireless mouse)（也称为无线USB 鼠标(USB mouse)）带有一个需要插入USB 端口(USB port)的专用接收器。装有 macOS 的计算机并不总是能识别这些专用 USB 接收器，因此请确保您的无线USB 鼠标(USB mouse)在购买之前与 macOS 兼容。
您更喜欢哪种蓝牙鼠标(Bluetooth mouse)，为什么？
现在您应该可以成功使用蓝牙鼠标(Bluetooth mouse)了。选择鼠标是个人决定，因为这款小巧的手持设备不仅可以成为我们在在线环境(environment but part)中的扩展，还可以成为我们作为计算机用户个性的一部分。在您关闭此选项卡之前，我们很想知道您选择的鼠标以及您喜欢它的原因。在下方发表评论，告诉我们您最喜欢的鼠标。
How do I connect a Bluetooth mouse to my Mac?
The mouse is a big part of how cozy your experience is whеn you are using your computer. The more time you spend in frоnt of your iMac or your MacBook, the more уou realize that comfort is your bіggest priority, so connecting your favorite mouse to it is the next logical step. But what іf the mouse of yоur choice is not Apple's default Magic Moυse, but another Bluetooth mouse? Can you still use it on mаcOS? The answer is yes, and this guide shows уou how to connect your Bluеtоoth mouse to your Mac:
NOTE: This guide covers macOS Mojave or newer. The features shared in our guide may not work on older versions of macOS. To check your macOS version, read What version of macOS do I have?
Connect your (non-Apple) Bluetooth mouse to your Mac
While Apple's Magic Mouse is a great product and some of its features, like Gestures, can be used to make your life easier, some of us prefer trading those for the comforting, reliable sound of a mouse wheel whenever we scroll down a page. Our (noisier) mouse of choice is the affordable Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Mouse 3600 so let's go over its setup, which is similar to any other Bluetooth mouse that you might want to use.
To begin, open System Preferences by clicking or tapping the Apple logo, and then going to the corresponding option from the drop-down menu.
In the System Preferences window, go to Bluetooth.
Next, set your Bluetooth mouse in pairing mode. In our case, we had to press and hold the Bluetooth/On button for 3 seconds. There are only two possible ways to activate pairing mode in a Bluetooth mouse, depending on its design. A mouse can either have a dedicated button just to control the Bluetooth pairing, or it can come with a button for both controlling the Bluetooth pairing and for turning the mouse on and off again. Our mouse uses the second approach, in which case you need to press that button for a certain amount of time (duration may differ) to set it into Bluetooth pairing mode.
As soon as your Mac sees the mouse, it shows it in the Bluetooth window. Click or tap Connect and wait a few seconds.
When you see the status Connected beneath the mouse, you are good to go. Close the Bluetooth window, and use the mouse as you see fit.
TIP: As seen above, you can have a Magic Mouse and a regular mouse connected at the same time. They can both be used to control your Mac, and you can alternate between them without making further changes. This can come in handy with certain apps, like the ones requiring middle click for certain features.
Customizing a regular Bluetooth mouse on your Mac
If you only use a regular Bluetooth mouse on your Mac (and any Apple mouse is disconnected in Bluetooth preferences), the customization options offered by macOS differ from the default ones that come with using Apple's Magic Mouse. They are, however, just as easily accessible, as you can see when following the steps below. First, click or tap the Apple logo, and then select System Preferences from the drop-down menu.
In the System Preferences window, go to Mouse.
The Mouse window allows you to adjust several settings, like the scroll direction, which mouse button to use as the primary, and the speed for tracking, scrolling, and double-clicking.
Can I use any Bluetooth mouse with MacBook and iMac?
Any mouse with built-in Bluetooth should have no issues connecting to your MacBook or iMac by following the steps in this guide. To be on the safe side, you should also check if the mouse is compatible with macOS. If you buy your mouse online, the product details should include this information. If you buy it in a retail store, look for the Mac compatibility symbol on its packaging.
IMPORTANT: A Bluetooth mouse is not the same as a wireless mouse, the main difference being the way they connect to your computer. The first has a built-in Bluetooth chip that uses your computer's Bluetooth chip to pair with the mouse. A wireless mouse (also called a wireless USB mouse), however, comes with a dedicated receiver that needs to be plugged into a USB port. Computers with macOS do not always recognize these dedicated USB receivers, so make sure that your wireless USB mouse is macOS compatible before purchasing it.
What Bluetooth mouse do you prefer and why?
Now you should be able to use your Bluetooth mouse successfully. Choosing a mouse is a personal decision, as this tiny hand-held device can become not only our extension in an online environment but part of our individuality as computer users. Before you close this tab, we would love to know your mouse of choice and why you prefer it. Leave a comment below and tell us about your favorite mouse.
