Supporting gestures depends on the mouse and installed drivers.

Agreed, would also like to point out it’s not a precession device. No more than any other mouse today. This mouse runs great on Mac, smooth and FULLY functioning. On PC it’s no more than a generic mouse. Even the Magic Mouse drivers apple supply for windows are technically generic. The jolty rather than precise scroll is a fine example of this. As for keeping it clean, really?!?!
