I’ve noticed intermittent input and clicking issues with Apple devices after recent software updates.
Apple TV / Siri Remote — Since 2025
Since sometime in 2025, my Apple TV 2022 model’s Siri Remote has occasionally behaved as if I pressed a button twice when I only pressed it once. The second input can happen within milliseconds of the first press.
I don’t remember which tvOS version introduced the issue, but it happens most noticeably when using the YouTube app. A single press sometimes registers as a double press, which can cause unintended actions.
iMac M1 / Magic Mouse — After macOS 27 Update in September 2026
After updating my Mac to macOS 27 in September 2026, I started noticing intermittent clicking problems with my Magic Mouse.
Examples include:
- Double-clicking a file sometimes does not open it, requiring three clicks instead.
- Sometimes a single click does not register.
- When clicking and dragging to move a file or highlight text, the drag/highlight operation sometimes stops unexpectedly in the middle even though I am still moving the cursor.
- These issues occur intermittently rather than with every click.
The behavior feels like some clicks or continuous click-and-drag inputs are occasionally being missed or incorrectly registered.
I hope Apple can investigate whether recent tvOS/macOS updates could be contributing to these input issues, particularly because both involve intermittent input registration after software updates.
