How do I connect new Magic Mouse to my iMac?

So I drove over my Magic Mouse with my power wheelchair and smashed it to pieces. I bought a new one one Amazon. How do I connect it to my iMac? I’m also a little computer dumb 😂😂


obviously you can’t just turn it on for it to work?


I sure hope that someone can help? Thanks so much!

See instructions in Set up your Magic Keyboard, Magic Mouse, or Magic Trackpad with your Mac - Apple Support

and

If you can't connect your Magic Keyboard, Magic Mouse, or Magic Trackpad to your Mac - Apple Support


Also be aware that the latest (current) Magic Mouse requires macOS 15.1 or later. See the following from Magic Mouse (USB‑C) - White Multi-Touch Surface - Apple


System Requirements

Mac with macOS 15.1 or later

iPad with iPadOS 18.1 or later


Your post states macOS 12.7. If your iMac is a 2019 or later model see the following to upgrade to macOS 15: How to upgrade to macOS Sequoia - Apple Support


If your iMac is earlier than a 2019 model, the current Magic Mouse will not work with it. If that is your situation you may want to return it to Amazon and purchase a compatible 3rd party mouse.
