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.
Also here to confirm that updating to the latest macOS is required! 🖱️👨🏻‍💻
I ditched updating to Sequoia for a while now (on a 13" M1 MacBook Pro - first gen Apple Silicon)
I broke my old lighting Magic Mouse and bought the new USB-C Magic Mouse as a replacement.
Symptoms that you're experiencing the same situation as I did:
First red flag - the pairing is not Apple smooth.
Second red flag - though the my mouse is black it appeared as a white one in settings.
Third and final - only the pointing worked, all the gestures (including scrolling) were not working.
Apparently is wise to actually read the documentation that comes with the device.
"To use your Magic Mouse and its full range of features, update your Mac to the latest version of macOS"
Apologies for the long answer! I know that mostly anyone frustrating over their mouse not magically pairing right this moment, has got no patience for a long response but I do hope it helps to state the "red flags" of an incorect pairing.
All the best guys! 
Had the same issue, I updated my MacBook to MacOS 15.1 and it just worked
Same problem,USB-C Does Not Scroll just unwrap my New Magic Mouse USB-C.
USB-C Mouse and Keyboard work on my personal laptop (MacOS 15.1) but not on work laptop (MacOS 15.0.1). Seems pretty clear that you need to upgrade to 15.1 to drive these devices.
Same here. I upgraded my personal laptop to 15.1 and it works. Unfortunately my work laptop is stuck on 14.7 for who knows how long :(
Apple is there a configuration file one can add so the USB-C Magic Mouse gestures are recognized in MacOS 14.6.1 or 14.7.1?
I.e. people with work laptops cannot just upgrade MacOS, the MacOS version is controlled by the Tech Infrastructure (IT) department.
Has anyone confirmed it's not working on 14.7.1 which was released on Oct 28?
Same here, my laptop works perfectly running 15.1, but on my work laptop running 14.7.1, the mouse does not scroll and macOS doesn't recognize it as a "magic" mouse. (None of the touch settings/gestures show up under "Mouse" in System Settings)
I can confirm it is NOT working on 14.7.1, same issue. The mouse does not scroll.
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?
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.
Probably worth a separate post but the new USB-C Magic Keyboard also isn't working correctly (Touch ID and Multimedia Keys don't work)
Yes, I made them aware of the magic keyboard touch ID issue as well
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 : (
I'm using 15.1 and my trackpad still won't scroll at all on Bluetooth. When it's plugged in it works perfectly.
When on Bluetooth, not only does scrolling not work, but the tracking speed is also very slow and doesn't seem to be responding to tracking speed settings changes.
Same problem on M3 MBA on 15.0. I'm updating to 15.1 right now.
Cannot pair via cable. But I'm able to connect via Bluetooth setup. But all the settings for gestures are missing and scrolling is disabled with no way to enable. Weird mouse tracking too. This is my first Magic Mouse so I'm surprised how buggy this "apple ecosystem" device is.
