Magic Mouse 2 is not working in the macOS 27?

Magic Mouse 2 Stopped working completely after update for MacOS 27. It was working perfectly (in the way of a Magic Mouse) prior the update.


Now it shows it is paired and connected, but still no moves, no clicks and so no gestures. It stop completely only showing in the bluetooth that it is connected.


Anyone else with a similar problem?


Already tried disconnecting, re-paring and so on... nothing works until now.


Currently using a MacBook Air:

Trackpad working properly and another common mouse bluetooth also.

Same here: Mac mini M4, macOS 27.0, Magic Mouse 2 (0x0269, firmware 1.9.2).


I think I found what the driver is skipping. On macOS 26 the mouse receives a feature report that switches it out of boot-mouse mode into multi-touch mode. On 27 that report is never sent, so the mouse connects, reports its battery, and then just sits there waiting. The Linux hid-magicmouse driver sends the same four bytes: F1 06 01 37.


Sending it by hand brings the mouse back instantly. I put up a small program that does exactly that - one C file, no binary to trust, no network, nothing left running unless you install the optional LaunchDaemon:

Credit for spotting the report goes to o0mohd0o/MagicMouseFix - I verified it and wrote my own version so the source is short enough to read before running.


Still worth filing Feedback with Apple. This is a workaround, not a fix.

Thank you for the help in the investigation.


I think this is a glitch in Mac firmware showing in interface. Mine did the same when I plugged it in.


The right firmware is what shows you when it is disconnected.


You can also use in the terminal:


system_profiler SPBluetoothDataType | grep -A 20 "Magic Mouse" | grep "Firmware Version"


If you provide us with further logs we can compare and check if there are something that we can do or report.

I turned on my Mac mini with macOS Tahoe and the Magic Mouse 2 is working perfectly.


Still... I get some logs and will share. Looks like that the handshake problem still persists... but for some reason the mouse works. Maybe they did a workaround for it to work? Not sure, and I don't care. But the point is, Magic Mouse is working properly in Tahoe but not on 27.

I will try to compare the logs later this day

It features a USB-C port and includes a woven USB-C Charge Cable that lets you pair and charge by connecting to a USB-C port on your Mac, so you can charge all of your favourite devices with just a single cable.


Apple sometimes delivers Firmware for their accessories


Though, there is No Direct URL to download the Firmware


That is usually done by Apple in the Background and without a User Direct Intervention

I have a Magic Mouse 2 with usb-c to lightning port.


Not sure if assuming the external hardware conector is enough.


Also, I discovered in the log that in Mac OS 26 happens a WindowServer in the very last line:

That doesn`t happen in the 27. Maybe a fallback event?


If I had to speculate I would say that the flag 0x40 makes the fallback not be triggered. And that was what makes versions 1.x.x keep working.


The versions 3.x.x probably are already working in the initial hid handshake, not needing the fallback action.


Well... I would love to have access to the code...

I am talking about generations and commercially spoken names. In Brazil is conventional to name the usb-c pure as Magic Mouse 3, as a certified resseller below uses:



Anyway I am not attached to names and terminologies we can name it tragic cat, barrel monkey or jumping dinossaur…


The point is that several users are reporting problems with evidences, logs and prints.


If yours is working it is excelent for you…


But if you really wish to help us, please send us a log of what happens when you turn you mouse on in the terminal. So we can compare and figure out if there’s a workaround to do before an oficial fix.

Thanks for the reply. I only did not tested yet the 1 min cooldown with the cable. I will try when back at home.


But before, when using the macOS 26 I changed the same Magic Mouse between a macmini m4 and a my currently MacBook without any problems.


After the update, the pairing is only recognizing it but without any actions: click, move, gestures.

I tried first without the other bluetooth mouse… but I’ll try this out top since I used other mouse in the beginning of the diagonais.


I have an iPad here too and not sure if it is interfering in the diagonis someway (never paired the Magic Mouse with it). But I’ll try isolating it too.


I’ll post the results later.


Thanks for the reply.
