The new Magic Mouse with a USB-C port is only compatible with macOS Sequoia 15.1 or later. You would need a Magic Mouse with a Lightning port if you use macOS Monterey.

Apple has a bad habit of raising minimum macOS requirements every time that they release a new mouse, trackpad, or keyboard.
I think they're doing it so they don't have to release separate drivers for any non-standard features, but it is really an annoyance for anyone with an older system who needs to replace one of these devices when an old one wears out.
