Magic Mouse 2 Ghost Zooming and Scrolling

I recently started having major issues with my magic mouse 2 on a Mac Studio M1 Ultra running OS 27.0.1. I needed another one for another computer I have so I bought two to also replace the one that was glitching. Mouse is ghost zooming and ghost scrolling like crazy. I cannot click on hyperlinks without trying multiple times. It’s making it nearly impossible to use the computer, its so **** frustrating… I’ve tried all of the common fixes and nothing is working. And none of the three mice I have are working properly. All of them are acting similar.

Hi there


Please try this


  • Disable Smart Zoom: Go to System Settings > Mouse and uncheck Smart zoom on double tap with one finger to stop accidental zoom triggers. 
  • Check Accessibility / Gestures: Toggle off and back on the gesture settings in System Settings > Mouse / Accessibility. 
  • Clean the Touch Surface: Wipe the top glass/acrylic multi-touch surface thoroughly with a dry, soft cloth to ensure skin oils or static aren't registering false multi-touch inputs.
