Magic Mouse 2: Fixing Magic Mouse 2 which stopped working on some normal surfaces

Sat, 04 Apr 2026 06:35:56 -0700

Hi,

Up until yesterday everything was fine, my Apple Magic Mouse 2 was working correctly on all surfaces.

Suddenly, the Magic mouse has stopped working on most regular surfaces and almost all fabrics (moving the mouse may move the cursor a little bit on these surfaces).

It does work on a transparent nylon, a very soft fabric (EDIT: 100% polyester) and on a leather couch and a specific part of my bare knee. (everything else like touch gestures works).

What is the reason for this? the optical sensor?

I already tried cleaning the optical sensor with a cloth, connecting it to another mac and removing the mouse preferences files with no luck.

Thanks :)

One of the charging ports on my charging station is no longer working. I think one of the metal contacts that is supposed to spring up is trapped in the plastic housing. Does anyone know how to open this thing so I can try and re-seat it?

Thanks!
