Issue 2: Magic Mouse Won’t Connect or Pairįirst of all, make sure your wireless mouse is switched. In this guide, I break down all Magic Mouse not connecting or not working issues into different scenarios, along with related fix solutions. I’ve faced quite a few other issues, especially when I used Magic Mouse on my PC (HP Pavilion, Windows 10).

This is just one of the problems I encountered with my Magic Mouse. The issue was resolved after I spent a few hours updating the Mac to a newer macOS. The reason? Long story short: the device wasn’t compatible with the macOS version that my MacBook Pro was running. I opened it excitedly, turned it on, and paired it to my Mac, only to find that it wouldn’t scroll up and down. But that was not the case when I first received it over a year ago. I use a Magic Mouse 2, and never have a problem with it. It may be a bad habit I just find it hard to change.


Even now, when I write this article, the only tool I use is the Mac keyboard - but I’m still used to moving my finger to touch my Apple mouse now and then. I have to admit it: I heavily rely on a mouse when I’m working on a computer.
