Sculpt Comfort Mouse features Bluetooth connectivity, so you can easily pair your device with your PC or tablet and not worry about using cords or transceivers. As well, its BlueTrack technology works on virtually any surface. The right-handed thumb scoop design and Tilt wheel allow you to quickly and comfortably scroll left, right, up and down.
Update note: Unfortunately, Karabiner does not work well with MAC OSX Sierra or High Sierra. They are working on Karabiner-Elements which has been released, but does not support this button. See below for a sort-of workaround.
- Overall the Microsoft Sculpt Comfort Desktop is a decent mouse and keyboard combo, that does the job well, is solidly built and has a few nice features, but plays it a bit too safe.
- Nov 15, 2013 Microsoft Sculpt Comfort Mouse (H3S-00003) For wireless, this one is bluetooth, comes with no receiver, and is around the size of a normal mouse. Despite being larger, it's not that tall, so it should easily slip into a laptop bag as easy as any other portable mouse.
- I have a 2016 Mac Book Pro that I have bootcamped and installed Windows 10 on. My Microsoft Sculpt keyboard conntected with no problems but my mouse will not connect. The device recognizes it, but will not actually connect.

My trusty Microsoft Blue Wheel Mouse started playing up recently and a friend suggested I go for the Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic mouse:
Cute lil fella, ain’t it?
I read a bunch of reviews and people DO love it, however there was some concern about it working with Apple’s Mac OSX operating system. (I have El Capitan).
I decided to bite the bullet and buy it. I could always return it for a refund if I had issues.
After plugging it into my MacBook Pro, it seemed everything worked fine (including the tilt scrollwheel functionality) except for the blue Windows button on top.
A bit of researching showed it can work nicely with the Karabiner software for OSX, but you need to edit the private.xml file. (There’s tutorials on how to do that. I won’t go into it here).
The main thing to know is what to add to the file to activate this button. My requirement was for it to work as a FORWARDS button, particularly in a browser as that’s my main use for it. Below is my code for private.xml:
Don’t forget to enable it by clicking the new checkbox once you restart Karabiner:
Unfortunately, Karabiner and Karabiner-Elements don’t support the Windows key. The best I could come up with as a replacement is using the TILT on the Scroll-wheel to go Forwards/Backwards. This can be configured with the help of USB Overdrive.
Microsoft Sculpt Comfort Mouse For Mac Computers
Download and install USB Overdrive.. and throw a few bucks to the developer for this awesome application, if you wish. Use the following settings to make your Scroll-wheel Tilt work :
Tilt Left
The left button on the mouse will work to go backwards. You just need the above for going forwards (and backwards if you wish) with tilting the scroll-wheel left/right.
