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:

https://github.com/oleksandr-antonian/macos27-magic-mouse-fix

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! So it is a similar issue happening too in Apple Magic Mouse 3!

I am really starting to reconsider Apple devices… They can barelly provide a stable ecosystem… any 10x cheaper mouse can provide more compatibility than their own devices!

FWIW, there is no Magic Mouse 3. I just now connected the same Magic Mouse 2 with 3.1.1 firmware that works on my M3 iMac to an M1 MacBook Air running macOS 27 and it works fine. I don't know if Apple updates mouse firmware.

I wil tell you what I will do:

If a new version comes, I'll first update, than test it with the program already installed.

If it works, I'll take note.

Than, I'll try to uninstall it and check.

If it not works I'll take note.

I`ll try restart the system and check again.

If it works the workaround is not needed anymore.

If not, I'll reinstall the workaround and pray that Apple don`t make even the workaround to stop works.

If even the patch stops working after another patch I'll probably sell my Magic Mouse and apple ecosystem and goes back to linux.

Hi!

I can run the first two lines to resolve the connection, but, when I try to resolve "for good", I type the lasts lines and receive the feedback in the terminal:

I did something wrong?

Best regards.

Hi,

I tried this and did all of these steps, and my Magic Mouse is still not working at all. It'll connect and read the battery, and I can move the cursor, but it is badly laggy. Doesn't track or follow, and clicks are very delayed.

What do I do, as I already downloaded and am running the application program you and the others have linked?

Hi,

I want to fix my Magic Mouse. I am running a MacBook Pro M3, and my Magic Mouse has the 3.1.1 firmware.

I am really new to a lot of these bug fixes, and I see in the comments that this link worked for a lot of people. May someone help me with telling me how to step by step put the fixes in from this link? https://github.com/oleksandr-antonian/macos27-magic-mouse-fix/blob/main/README.md

What program do I run on my Macbook, how to open, what lines to change out??

I'm just really new to it all and don't know where to begin. I don't want to mess anything up.

Sorry,

Sep 16, 2026 3:41 AM in response to fábio161

Was you able to fix it? I have the same issue after the **** update, and nothing has worked to fix it. So frustrated!

Not yet. Still trying to isolate the problem. I’ll post more later about the diagnosis.

If I can handle the issue, with the help with the community, I’ll post here how to deal with it.

I have a macmini (luckly) still on Tahoe. I reseted it because I’m planning to sell (almost closed a deal yesterday).

I’ll use it today in a test with my Magic Mouse too.

Do you mind to share the firmware version of it? Also if it is USB-C or Thunderbolt?

I don't mind. Firmware 3.1.1. It came with the M3 iMac with an included USB-C to Lightning cable.
