Magic Mouse Only Clicks nothing else

Brand new Magic Mouse out of the box. Hooked to Bluetooth. Only clicks, no scrolling or swiping features.

M1 Max pro - Sonoma 14.6.

Anyone ever solve this?

I just bought a studio display, Magic Keyboard and magic mouse. I have a 2018 MacBook Air with Sonoma. Will Sequoia ever be compatible with the 2018 MacBook Air (it currently is not) or should I return the Magic Keyboard/Mouse and try something else?

Sorry, but there is very little chance that Apple will "make Sequoia work" with Apple devices that can't fully support running it ... so I wouldn't hold out for this.


... and yes, you should return the mouse. You should have 14 days (from the purchase date) to do so for a full refund.

To try not to make this more confusing, there are actually three generations of the Magic Mouse:


  • The 1st gen was introduced in 2009 and used 2 AA batteries. It works with OS X Leopard 10.5.8 and later.
  • The 2nd gen was introduced in 2015. It was rechargeable only. It works with OS X El Capitan and later.
  • And just recently the "3rd gen" USB-C was introduced in 2024. This is the one that requires macOS Sequoia.

Thank you for the above. I am unable to scroll with a new Magic Mouse and this response was the first useful one I found.
