Will Magic Mouse 2 Lightning work with my 2018 iMac?

I have an iMac 27inch from 2018. I noticed that the MagicMouse 2 USB-C does not scroll. Aparrently my Ventura OS can not be updated in view of the Intel processor inside. My question is: will a Magic Mouse 2 Lightning also not work proper?

The older Lightning version (model A1657) should work, the newer USB-C version (model A3204) requires Sequoia.


The Intel CPU is not what prevents the macOS version upgrade on your iMac.


Sonoma and Sequoia are compatible with a number of Macs with Intel CPUs.
