magic mouse 1 not scrolling, right click needs CTRL button pressed on Catalina

on macOS Catalina version 10.15.5 MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2019, Four Thunderbolt 3 ports), can't make Magic Mouse 1 to scroll and right click requires to press control button to work

tried all possible diagnostics (i.e. reset Bluetooth, rest mouse to factory setting, reset SMC, reset PRAM/NVRAM, enable scrolling in via accessibility options, with and without inertia, gestures properly set-up, restarted a couple of times, removed all other bluetooth devices) but to no avail.

I have purchased my Magic Mouse 1 since December 2009 and it has not given me any problems yet with my new MacPro Apple desktop computer and I have the 10.15.5 MacOS Catalina 10.15.5 and a new Thunderbolt screen too.

I've just had this hit me this morning on the same Macbook Pro as yourself.

Restarted it twice, first time it worked ok for about another 2 hours and now it's a non scroller again. However it was scrolling the webpage I was on all by itself at one point!

Had the mouse since about 2011, so part of me is thinking it's on it's way out?

Any news on how to rescue it would be great

two months after not being able to use my magic mouse 1, the battery went empty. Replaced with a new one and was hoping this time it'll work. Failed. Retried all the troubleshooting, still not working. This is unbelievable. :(

Brought it to apple store.... they told me to just replace it and didn’t offer any solution. Pity. I still can’t make it work.
