Magic Mouse Gestures not working after waking from sleep

Periodically, when I wake my Macbook Pro 14", the magic mouse will no longer do secondary gestures. I use these all the time to minimize windows, scroll to other desktops, etc. Turning the mouse off and on does not work. So far, restarting the computer has been the only true solution. Does anyone else see this too?

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 12.3

Magic Mouse 2 Stopped Scrolling I'm running Mojave 10.14.6 on a MacBook Pro. My Magic Mouse scroll functions stopped working. In fact, all gestures seem not to be recognized. It isn't just a single app. It won't scroll on Outlook or web browsers, etc. It is NOT an issue with settings for mouse or accessibility; both are correctly set up to allow scrolling. The trackpad on the computer still works. The mouse also still works in other ways in that I can navigate around the window and click. But scrolling functions have disappeared. Again, the first thing I checked was the system preferences for the mouse. It is set to scroll in natural direction. Swiping left and right is also enabled. However no gestures are recognized. Scrolling is also enabled on mouse in accessibility options. This is a new issue that arose today out of the blue.

erratic mouse behavior My Magic Mouse behaves very erratically. If I move it (especially sideways), it may zoom in or out as if I were using gestures. If I touch it (especially while moving it), it zooms in as if I'm using gestures. It continues to do this after turning off all the gestures in the mouse settings. There's no lint or other visible debris in the sensor aperture. Tracking speed is below the halfway increment in the settings. Do I need a special mouse pad? (a) How do I get an old fashioned USB mouse since none appears on the Apple store? (b) Failing (a), how do I reduce the functionality of the magic mouse to moving the pointer and doing right and left clicks since the gestures seem to be uncontrollable?
