Magic Mouse issues with macOS Sequoia 15.1.

I have recently upgraded from my old 2016 macBook Pro bought a new 2024 macBook Air M3 16GB 15 inch and after the latest upgrade I seem to be having issues with my magic mouse as it has started having a lagging issue and inconsistent movement issues. I decided to get a new magic mouse, thinking that this may solve the issues. It has not seemed to stop it or fix it.

The issue is that it seems to lag at times and disconnect every now and again. I can't believe it is due to hardware as the laptop and mouse are both new. Can anyone shine a light on what I can do to solve this. My touchpad on the macBook Air works fine. I know it is not interference as I have the same issue working in many different places.

MacBook Air 15″, macOS 15.1

Problem Solved (mostly) - Replying to myself in case it'll help others.

MacOS Sequoia introduces new native windows management capabilities. For folks using 3rd party solutions, such as Magnet or Rectangle, turn off the mouse features of the app. I was able to keep the keyboard shortcut features enabled. This immediately resolved my issue and I'm able to use my wired mice as normal.

Nothing RF-environment-wise or other hardware, has changed. The only thing that sharply divides the "before and working" from the "now and not working" is the upgrade to 15.1.

I will say that, for me, this does not seem to be the case with all software. It is most notable in FaceTime when making "normal" voice calls (using the iPhone).

Thank you for chipping in 👍

The only semi issue here on the new M4 machine with macOS 15.1 ( 24B2083 )

Is the Red Traffic Light to close a window is some applications not all

Apart from that annoyance, easy - ⌘ Q

Connection from Magic Mouse 2 and Magic Keyboard 2 to machine - rock solid

I am having this issue as well, but on the just-released 14.7.1 (Sonoma, not Sequoia). I just updated and it just started happening. Just like with others, it only happens with Magic Mouse, if I use my MX Master (via bluetooth), it works fine.

You should contact Logitech Support.

Apple, please fix this asap. I miss my wired mice.

FWIW, it's up to the third-party mice vendors to provide a fix for their devices.

Apple Magic Mouse stopped working after installing Seqioa 15.1.1

Hi there

my magic mouse 3.0.6. is not even connecting anymore since I updated OSX!

On another Mac running an older version of OSX it works okay.

I hope they fix that soon!

Just updated to Sequoia 15.1.1 had this same issue with the last software update. Really frustrating. I did turn off the Advance and now my mouse is so squirrely and all over the map so fast and goes by itself. Really hard to get any work done.

Even writing this and trying to post it is impossible
