Every now and again, at random, Magic Mouse (both 2022 and earlier version) has to be dragged half way across the desk for a reasonable movement on screen. Switch off, recharge, different mouse mat, fiddling with System Preferences, all tried. Recovers spontaneously. Has anyone got an explanation or fix?
Typically this is a Bluetooth problem. But you omitted information on your hardware and OS so any āsolutionā would be guesswork at best.
This is a long shot, but Iāve had success cleaning the eye out.

Like Diane, I clean it by blowing on the eye
24" iMac M1 but also noticed with old 2009 iMac with most up-to-date MacOS.
Thanks for all the hints!
If you have USB 3 cables (whether the connector is type-A or type-C), see if you can move them so they do not come between your mouse and your Mac and are not near the mousing-area on your desk.
The frequencies used by USB 3 are known to interfere with Bluetooth over short distances.

Somewhat off-topic, but I have two different versions of the Magic Mouseā¦ and Iāve never figured out who has hands small enough to comfortably use that thing. (And my hands arenāt huge, only āmediumā according to a glove chart.) I even saw something for sale on Amazon to stick onto the sides of it, to make it bigger. I often build or fix things myself, have thought about how I might do thatā¦ has anybody here ever physically enlarged a Magic Mouse for ergonomic reasons?
