New Magic Mouse USB-C Does Not Scroll

I received my new Magic Mouse USB-C model, running 3.1.4. The issue is that it does not scroll up or down when swiping on the surface. I tried it on 2 macbooks. The mouse does not scroll. I can click and point, but not scroll. My old magic mouse scrolls fine.

The USB-C Magic Mouse gestures do NOT work on 14.6.1 and 14.7.1. I tried both versions.


One needs to upgrade to 15.1.


But for people who cannot upgrade this is annoying.


Apple please post a work around for existing users so that older versions of MacOS will recognize the new USB-C Magic mouse gestures.


Is there configuration file one can add?

Definitely USB-C does not scroll with earlier OS - I can get it to point and click with Monterey (12.6) but not scroll- only use the side bar for scrolling, and am unable to update OS on this computer.

I have tried all of the patches described but to no avail.

I take delivery of a new Mac mini next week, and this was the mouse that Apple shipped with it, so will update if it suddenly starts working with OS15.1 or above. If it doesn't, straight back for the returns!!!

I returned it. Since it was opened, I hope I get a full refund. I bought it from Amazon, so I returned it to Amazon. I wish it worked because I hate having to replace batteries in my older wireless Magic Mouse.

A lot of people saying the same thing but the point is, it makes no difference if you are running macOS 12.xx or 15.xx the mouse and trackpad do not work. I know this because I have used this hardware with Monterey, Ventura and Sequoia, the result is identical.


There is no provision in the Apple settings menu to setup secondary functions such as swipe and scroll for the mouse and there are no settings whatsoever for Trackpad in Ventura or Sequoia.


You all need to return the hardware, then and only then will Apple act on this issue. As long as you pay for it and keep it, there is no come back on Apple, they just make money on something that does do what it says on the box. You may as well be pushing a river stone across your desk.
