You do not say what exact Mac /model /year /size /retina /touchbar is this ?


A swollen battery can adversely affect the mouse.


See if you qualify here: https://support.apple.com/15-inch-macbook-pro-battery-recall



check the condition of

your battery, hold down the option key and click on the battery icon in

the menu bar. If the condition is anything other than Normal, take your

Mac to an Apple Store to get it replaced



Portables and Magic Trackpad: Jumpy or erratic trackpad operation




In or out of warranty you can get a free over the counter 'Apple Service Diagnostics' test /assessment


Make an appointment for a "hardware issue"—
