magic trackpad haptics stopped working

I updated my 2021 MacBook Pro M1 to Ventura 13.1. Now, my bluetooth connected Magic Trackpad has limited functionality.

The trackpad on the laptop works as intended. The Magic Trackpad recognizes mouse movements and single clicks, but there are no haptics, and no secondary mouse functions.

Any suggestions for how to fix?

Magic Trackpad connectivity with Ventura 13.2 update After a recent update to 13.2 my Magic Trackpad will only connect for about 1-2 seconds and then lose the connection. This issue also happened with the previous update, but powering off and unplugging the Mac resolved it. Have tried various things: 1) restart the Mac 2) 'sudo pkill bluetoothhd' command 3) toggle Bluetooth off/on 4) new batteries in trackpad 5) delete bluetooth plist file Other bluetooth devices are working normally. Any suggestions? TIA

Magic Trackpad 2 lags consistently every time I click the volume icon I'm running Sonoma 14.0 on a 2020 M1 mac mini and have my trackpad connected via bluetooth. The battery is fully charged. It works perfectly fine until I click on the volume icon in the menu bar, at which point it lags to the point of almost becoming unusable until I click away (which sometimes doesn't work because the lag is so bad). Any ideas?

Mouse preference pane missing from Settings- Magic Mouse not working Recently my Magic Mouse stopped working on my work 2019 MacBook Pro. After fully charging it and it refusing to work or even connect via Bluetooth, I looked for the Preference pane in Settings (Ventura) and found it missing. Comparing the settings app with my personal M2 Macbook Air, I found the Mouse preference pane exactly where I expected it to be, below the keyboard pane. After many attempts to find some advice on the 'net, I decided to upgrade to Sonoma on both machines. Unfortunately, this didn't solve the problem. The Mouse won't connect nor does its preference pane appear in the list in the settings app. I've attached a screenshot showing the missing Mouse setting title. It should be between Keyboard and Trackpad. How do I rectify this?

The Trackpad works again today. No explanation. Nothing changed. Not even a restart. Just lucky I guess.
