Why is my Magic Mouse only right-clicking when even the settings are configured correctly?

I have seen this question lots of times but everyone offers the same answer. When I start my iMac up, everything works correctly. At random times, the Magic Mouse stops left-clicking and will only right-click, regardless of which side of the mouse is pressed.


What have I already tried?

  • Switching the mouse off and on again
  • Disconnecting the mouse and re-configuring it
  • Turning off the right-click option
  • Swapping the left and right-click option
  • Holding Control button and ensuring it is not stuck in (which it isn't)
  • Restarting the iMac
  • Formatting the iMac and reinstalling the macOS - Even this did not work...


The only thing that remotely works from this list is to restart the iMac, then the problem just reoccurs within about 5 minutes. Surely I am not expected to just restart my iMac every 5 minutes, so what am I missing?
