Just updated my iPad Pro to iPadOS 13.4, and was able to pair my Magic Mouse 1 to it. Point and click work just fine, however can't get scrolling gesture to work. Is this a known bug or is it just me ?
iPad Pro 10.5-inch, Wi-Fi
Apple documentation is very clear as to the user interface devices supported by the iPadOS 13.4 update. The Apple Magic Keyboard, Magic Mouse 2 and Magic Trackpad 2 all have full support - plus generic support is added for third-party input devices.
The original Magic Mouse and Trackpad were not designed or intended to operate with iPadOS - and whilst not supported by iPadOS, remain fully operable with the Mac computers for which they were designed to operate.
Generic device support provides basic input functionality. For example, many Mice require a manufacturer-supplied “driver” to be installed to enable additional “buttons” (beyond the basic/generic left/right mouse-buttons) and any proprietary “touch” functionality. Additional device driver installation is not (and never has been) supported on iOS platforms. For this reason, basic devices, such as a “basic” mouse seem to have full OS support - whereas a feature-rich Mouse (with many bells-and-whistles) only provides its basic functions when connected to iPad.
Many here are clearly disappointed in that the older-generation Magic Mouse/Trackpad, expressly designed for Mac, are not supported by iPadOS - however, all computing systems have limits as to the type of devices that it can support. Older hardware and devices are often not forward-compatible with new operating systems.
Get a surface pro for working and chrome book for kids remote schooling. iPad is only useful for FaceTime.
The Magic Trackpad 1 works with iPad OS but it is basically unusable. I hope Apple listens and fixes it.
Magic Trackpad 1 is explicitly documented, by Apple, as not supported by iPadOS 13.4.
...
Yup!
Microsoft still supports mouse purchased in 2010 - I purchased 2 over priced magic mice in 2013 because the first one was unreliable. Not making it hard for me to go back to a pc.
Just to be clear this post deals with the lack of scroll functionality of magic mice 1 with an iPad.
Not sure why you're encouraging people to buy another product. This is on Apple bud. They have more than enough resources to be able to afford making the MM1 compatible.
Again...we do not know if this feature (Magic Mouse 1) will work with iPad in the future. That is up to 🍎
This is just some extra bad practice by Apple. Wasting so much money on your products only to find out you didn't bother to make them compatible.
Not really, Magic Mouse 1 is an old device.
11 years is not old for a mouse.
For any Apple device and computer it is.
That is not true. Official website clearly says they are.
When did I ever say anything about supporting old phones or iPads? Are you sure you’re replying to the right person?
Magic Mouse 1 not scrolling
