After updating my iMac to Sonoma 14.2.1 my Magic Mouse started malfunctioning

This is ridiculous. I don't even know how I will scroll this page to submit the form. I cannot scroll or right-click anymore on my iMac M3 following the macOS Sonoma 14.2.1 update with the supplied magic mouse. WTF?


EDIT: I just realized also that most if not all gestures don't work anymore. I cannot double tap with two fingers to show Mission Control anymore.

For anyone coming here after updating to Sonoma 14.2 or 14.2.1 and having issues with Bluetooth devices, I fixed the issue by turning off Bluetooth entirely in the Mac settings, then I had to go find a corded (USB) mouse laying around, plug it in, use it to turn Bluetooth on again, and then my magic mouse had gestures, scrolling and right-click working again. Hope it helps people coming here from a search for a similar issue.

Have been and continue to struggle with the Logic Tech mice. Have struggled with mouse inadequacies for years. Turning off Blue Tooth cuts of user that rely on hearing aids and other devices using Blue Tooth. It will be wonderful if the industry finally comes up with a usable Mouse. I do like the ergonomic design or the M3 mouse. It's the best all around.

The only reliable action is connected directly to the iMac or Hub connected to iMac. The MT will bypass BT and use the wired connection. It's much smoother and no quirks. You just lose the point of it being wireless. Maybe Apple will fix it on the next update but I wouldn't have high hopes on it. They tend to deal with these things as low priority since it doesn't seem to affect a lot of people so far.

I have the 2020 27-inch iMac Retina 5k - no M chip, bought it a few months before they announced the mchip :(


I've had this problem intermittently in the last couple years it would happen every so often, but all I had to do was reset the bluetooth module or SMC and it would fix it, but since updating to Sonoma 14.2, the problem hasn't gone away.
