Bluetooth Mouse Left Click Failure

After updating to macOS sequoia 15.1.1, I have encountered a bug where the bluetooth mouse I use has an inability to successfully left click (not right click). If I try to left click on an object, it only works after 6-10 right clicks. Left clicks, however, work successfully 100% of the time.

This happened immediately after upgrading to macOS sequoia 15.1.1, and never in previous versions. Trackpad works perfectly though.

PS: This is one of those bluetooth mice that come with a usb slot that you must plug in to your Mac to use. It is a Logitech mouse.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 15.1

Hey @twt.fm/BradTaylor_, if you're still suffering from this I found an odd fix.

Go into settings > mouse > and change Secondary Click from "click right side" to "click left side"

What this does is reverse the left and right click buttons, but it means that I'm now able to now use the left click button flawlessly. Takes a bit getting used to, but hopefully macOS can fix this in the future!

Cheers,

*I made an error here

When I said: "If I try to left click on an object, it only works after 6-10 right clicks. Left clicks, however, work successfully 100% of the time"

What I meant to say is that right clicks work successfully 100% of the time. Left clicks only work after I click on the mouse 6-10 times.

Apple please fix this!

I've downloaded Logitech Options+, which is their software for managing their hardware products. All it really did was send diagnostic info to Logitech and update drivers (which from what I heard macOS already does). Nothing changed.

I'm experiencing this intermittently too, not just with a magic mouse but also a logitech.
