Magic Mouse 1 not scrolling

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 has clearly stated within the mouse settings on the iPad that any scrolling and gesture features of the MM 1 and the MTP 1 are not supported.

Apple has made this decision not to support 10-year old Apple input devices on their newer, compatible, mobile iOS devices.

Some basic functions of the MM 1and the MTP 1 work, but that is it!

You do not have to purchase and use the more expensive Apple MM 2 or the MTP 2.

You can choose use cheaper, iPadOS 13.4.1 compatible, third party mice and track pads, instead.

You have other alternative input devices available that may work.

Uh,

LotusPilot, maybe you are too young to know this, but the Mighty Mouse IS an Apple branded mouse designed and made by Apple.

NOT a third party mouse, at all!

The wired and wireless Mighty Mouse were availabke between 2008 and 2010.

It is the Apple mouse with a small little button toward the front of the mouse that acts a both a scroll wheel and cursor control.

Yes, it is. The context of the quote though is that Apple went out of their way to cut off MM1 owners while supporting MM2, which from the software (drivers) perspective are totally the same. I understand well that this logic doesn’t stretch to smartphones and iPads as the performance across span of 11 years differs greatly (and there’s a need to adapt to different resolutions and so on).


PS Sorry to you and mj_ali for the tone of my last comments. I was in a bit of a bad mood.
