New Magic Mouse USB-C Does Not Scroll

I received my new Magic Mouse USB-C model, running 3.1.4. The issue is that it does not scroll up or down when swiping on the surface. I tried it on 2 macbooks. The mouse does not scroll. I can click and point, but not scroll. My old magic mouse scrolls fine.

I spoke to a senior support specialist this morning. She confirmed that even though the Apple product website says these devices should work with older versions of macOS, they do not and that the senior technical management is aware and working on a fix.

The USB-C Magic Mouse gestures do NOT work on 14.6.1 and 14.7.1. I tried both versions.


One needs to upgrade to 15.1.


But for people who cannot upgrade this is annoying.


Apple please post a work around for existing users so that older versions of MacOS will recognize the new USB-C Magic mouse gestures.


Is there configuration file one can add?

Glad I Googled this. It was driving me mad. I bought the lightning cable version last week, took it back to swap over today sighting the new change / 14 day exchange, etc. The 'old' one worked, the new one doesn't. Nor does the trackpad. I'm off for a refund tomorrow on both. I have an older white one that works just fine. I'm on a 2021 MacBook pro, 15.01, Sequoia. Seems like a massive downgrade. I'd rather have put up with the lightening cable. I bet that one has been sent off to Apple to be recycled : (
