Magic Mouse 2 not working on iPadOS 27.2

Magic Mouse 2 Lightning stopped working on iPadOS 27, it connects, shows the battery, but doesn't work, the problem also happens on macOS 27 but it seems to have solved on macOS 27.2 but on iPadOS 27.2 still has a problem. I've already done all the recommended procedures such as connecting to the USB, doing the hard reset and nothing solved. My wife is without a mouse on the iPad Air M3 because of that. In addition to the iPad Air M3, it also stopped working on my iPad 10 9ª generation. In this topic https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1256357286 the user “xander-ag” posted a temporary solution on github, I had previously tested it on macOS and it really solved it, the problem is about the system driver, it does not make the correct validation of this Magic Mouse model. Please apply the same macOS 27.2 driver fix to iPadOS. Thank you.

On the iPad, try Settings > Bluetooth, forget the Magic Mouse, then plug it in with the cable and re-pair. Also check Settings > Accessibility > Touch > AssistiveTouch and turn Devices options on or off to see whether the pointer wakes up. Worth reporting it through Feedback Assistant too, since it works on macOS 27.2.
