New Magic Mouse USB-C Does Not Scroll

I've been using my old Apple Pro USB mouse (2000) on my 2017 MacBook Air (Monterey 12.5) since I bought it and was going to treat myself to one of these only to find Apple has UPPED the specs and froze me out. I don't know why the mouse has to have 'specs' that limits which computer I use. Just make the OS do the work of assigning any 'new features'.

Well, this Apple Pro mouse is still working, so Apple just lost another sale.

Till 2025 no update solution from apple

is there. a non-apple mouse that will work with legacy laptops?

Can confirm that the USB-C Magic Mouse scrolling does not function with macOS version 12.5 (Monterey) either. I don't want to update my MacBook Air (2022) because I prefer system preferences over system settings as of now.

Same- just bought new Mouse and no scrolling. Was running 14.6.1 which is NOT old (it's a brand new macbok air). I'm updating to 15.1 and will see if that works. Really weird it's not working. Wasn't it released years ago??

I have reservation about upgrading to macOS 15 because I was using macOS 15 on a Mac mini and the mouse secondary functions did not work. I upgraded my hardware to a Mac Studio with macOS 14.7.2 and not only does the mouse not have secondary functions such as swipe and scroll, there is no provision for it in system settings.

I also bought a Trackpad with Studio and there are no settings for Trackpad in system settings at all.

Scrolling function wasn't working for me either, I was just about to return the mouse and then found this advice. thank you!! I did an update from 15.0 to macOS Sequoia 15.3 and now the scrolling gesture works perfectly!!! Yay!

MacOS Ventura (13.7) user here on a 2017 MacBook Pro, with the same issue. I just picked up my new USB-C Magic Mouse today, excited not to have to use multiple charging cables for different peripherals anymore. Then I discovered that the mouse won't scroll, making it essentially a paperweight. I can't upgrade to 15.1 on my laptop.

These kinds of issues are why I quit PCs and Windoze and switched to Mac years ago. Hoping Apple comes up with a fix soon, and goes back to ensuring backwards-compatibility for their products. Forcing upgrades on people to get their hardware to function is the kind of evil nonsense that Microsoft is known for; I expect more from Apple (or at least I used to.)

There is one solution (can't test it as I have MacOS 15.2) I found ... it is a horrible solution, but if you are stuck with the mouse and can't return it or have an older Mac, you can do this:

To scroll with a new magic mouse if you don't have MacOS 15.1 or newer, you can:

1. Use the vertical scroll wheel to scroll horizontally by holding down the Shift key on your keyboard1.
2. Go to System Settings > Mouse and toggle Natural Scrolling on or off to change the mouse's scrolling direction2.

USB-C Mouse and Keyboard work on my personal laptop (MacOS 15.1) but not on work laptop (MacOS 15.0.1). Seems pretty clear that you need to upgrade to 15.1 to drive these devices.

Same issue. Cannot scroll with new Magic Mouse (USB-C) in MacBook Pro Sequoia 15.1 and not on my MacStudio same

these are the newest OS's so please Apple help!!

I have the new magic mouse 2 and it does not works with 14.7.1 ;)

I'm still seeing the same issue on 15.1.1. Works perfectly when plugged in, but doesn't work on Bluetooth. Scrolling is totally broken and the trackpad speed settings just don't take effect.

I can verify it is not working with 14.7.1

Just paid for a new apple mouse that does not work
