That's normal for a non-Apple mouse with a scroll wheel. Don't know if it can be disabled.

Why is my Magic Mouse so erratic on my iMac? I am using an Apple bluetooth magic mouse on a 20,1 iMac running Sequoia 15.0.1. When I use the mouse it is very erratic and nearly impossible to land the cursor on a specific spot. I have gone to settings and adjusted the mouse speed down to the lowest position. This has helped a very small amount and I now need to move the mouse nearly two feet on my desktop to move the cursor the with of a letter sized page. In general it appears that the magic mouse is not compatible with my iMac. Are there any solutions other than going out and purchasing a new mouse? [Re-Titled by Moderator]
