Magic Mouse seems to have a mind of its own

Using a fully charged 2024 Magic Mouse with a 2024 MacBook Pro M3 pro chip and Mac OS Sequoia 15.1.1.

I've got two monitors, for what that's worth. My mouse often slows way down, or stops moving entirely. It's quite frustrating. Anyone have any ideas?

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 15.1

Have you cleaned it? See the following from How to clean your Apple products - Apple Support

(Bold font added by me)


Apple wireless or USB keyboards, mice, and trackpads


First, power off the device. If your device uses removable batteries, remove the batteries. (If your device is wired, simply unplug it from your computer.)


Next, clean the outside of your device with a lint-free cloth lightly moistened with water. Don't get moisture in any openings or use aerosol sprays, solvents, abrasives, or cleaners containing hydrogen peroxide.


If your Magic Mouse or Magic Mouse 2 isn’t tracking properly, there might be a hair or other debris on the sensor lens. Turn the mouse over and inspect the sensor window using a bright light. If you see debris, use compressed air to gently clean the sensor window.
