Magic mouse jumpy/lag/stutter/glitchy (macbook pro)

I just recently brought a Magic Mouse from the mac store, and I'm about to take it back. I've seen lots written about similar problems, jumpy/lag/stutter/glitchy mouse, but none recently that I could find. And none that have fixed my mouse.
The Problem:
My mouse is often jumpy, unresponsive and unusable. It jumps across the screen, either laggy or in a stuttering motion. I will then use the trackpad since I cant use the mouse and the trackpad works perfectly. So i know it's not a process running, or the laptop running slow.
It will sometimes work if it's just been sitting there a long time, like if I come back in the mornings it may work well for about 10-15 minutes, but then stop.
What I've tried: (With no luck)
- Multiple services, the desk, books, mouse pad etc.
- Changing batteries
- I even tried a trick of putting paper between the batteries because apparently the connections are bad and can cause the mouse to disconnect.
- I upgraded to the mac beta testing OSX, someone had tried that and it worked for them, it did not for me.
- One guy slams the mouse on the table and it fixes it... I didn't want to try that.
- I have compressed air, cleaning out the sensor etc.
- Having the bluetooth forget the device then reconnecting it
- I've also connected other bluetooth devices and had no issues in the past
- Resetting the pram and smc
- Prayed to Lord Jobs offering a sacrifice
My Macbook Pro:
Yosemite 10.10.3
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2011)
2.2 GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
AMD Radeon HD 6750M 1024 MB
I like the look and feel of the mouse, and when it works it's great, so I hope i'm not forced to get some ugly logitec mouse or something...

Well, they have to, really. How else would they justify the cost of the 'free' replacement. Thing is, if you live near an Apple store you really must use their facilities. That is why you pay their prices for a quality item.
Don't think of yourself as being a nuisance, there is a certain entitlement in buying Apple ... and you are entitled.

Sudden lag/stutter in macbook Pro mid 2012

So I have a OSX Yosemite Mac with new SSD Harddrive and upgraded 16GB Ram.
Went on Holiday for a weekend and came back forgot to shut down the laptop so battery had died, recharged and ever since it is back up the whole computer has a 2second lag spike (only way I can describe it) while doing everything. While im typing this, sometimes it freezes and 1 or 2 seconds later the written text appears. While watching a video it will stutter and freeze only to continue 1 second after. While playing a game same stuttering appears.
The computer worked fine before the holiday so I don't know what has happened. No Updates needed, I reset the SMC but no improvement. It used to be super fast going to finder and different applications whereas now if I go into mail and click on a mailbox folder, sometimes the wheel of death appears and it takes 2 seconds to load and I have no explanation why.
Any help greatly appreciated as this is driving me insane.

Here is my etrecheck btw:

Can I use my wireless keyboard and Magic Mouse with my 15 inch MacBook Pro retina display

Apple magic mouse keeps losing connection with Macbook pro

I have a 2012 macbook pro, after upgrading to Mavericks(10.9.1, not have any other 3rd party software,just pure OS X), my magic mouse always losing bluetooth connection suddenly every one or two days. When losing connection, I found the bluetooth chipset type showing in macbook system information changed to unkown (FFFF). I have contacted with apple global support, and also have not gotten the solution. Just cleaning cache, and ect. but still didn't work.
When I downgrading the OS X to 10.8.5 Mountain Lion, same macbook, same magic mouse, work very well. Never happened lose connection issue during one and a half month. So, it should be a Mavericks bluetooth driver's issue, or something reletived.
Any body have some good idea in solving this issue?
Thanks in advance!

I have the same problem with a 2007 MacBook Pro on Snow Leopard. As soon as I changed the mouse's batteries, it started losing connection every few seconds. The mouse came with Energizer batteries originally - they supposedly don't fit well, but the mouse worked fine. I exchanged them with Duracell, which gave problems. Now I have Varta batteries installed, they give problems too. The paper-trick doesn't work for me.
Quite franky, I think it's rediculous that a fancy €69,- wireless mouse is so fussy about batteries. It's impossible to work with it. Is this just another way for Apple to get people to buy their batteries? I think a mouse this expensive should accept any and all batteries. Please, Apple: fix it. Seems like a really simple matter. Just put longer and stronger springs in the contacts for the negative poles.
Thanks.

Magic mouse is lag on Yosemite

My magic mouse is lag when macbook air mid 2013 was upgrade to Yosemite.
The mouse scrolling is sometimes slow but sometimes too fast on the safari page.
How to solve this is problem?

I'm on a Mac mini (Late 2012) running Yosemite (10.10.1) and had a lot of lag with my Magic Mouse. The mouse cursor would work smoothly for about 15 seconds then lag for about the next 15 seconds and continue the process all day every day since upgrading to Yosemite. I did the PRAM reset twice but it did not help.
Fixed for me:
Disable Internet Sharing
I came across this by accident when I noticed that my mouse was working fine all of a sudden and I went to reenable my internet sharing then the mouse started lagging again. Disabled internet sharing and mouse lag issues stopped. I'm also running Little Snitch 3.5 and I'm not sure if its a factor in the issue but it's currently active and mouse is running great. Will leave my internet sharing setting off.
Hope this fix works for someone else. Good Luck!

Magic Mouse jumping, lagging etc (Lion OS, Macbook Pro) cure!

I cured all my bluetooth Magic mouse issues when I switched my 2.4 wifi channel back to any other channel but 12, this seems to clash horrifically with my magic mouse.
Cause-
A virgin media guy changed the channel during a routine service call saying it was the best channel and one he recommended. He then used the magic mouse via my mac to do a speedtest (60Mb Superhub) in an attempt to consolidate his changes only to condemn my new mouse by saying "mmmm your mouse is very laggy" and also saying he didnt like any Apple products.
As soon as he went I changed channel back and my mouse is 100%.
Cure-
Avoid Channel 12 on a wifi routers- it competes with Apple Bluetooth...
Steevi

Oh and by the way, it's part of the bluetooth favorites.

Magic Mouse won't work on mac pro with d-link dongle

For the first time I am very unhappy with a purchase of an apple product. I today have finally gotten 2 of those magic mice; one is a present for my best friend (who is also excited) and the other one I wanted to keep for myself. Not more to say as an introduction.
Before I went back home I tried my mouse on one of my late 2007 macbooks, and after the mm update everything was great. I loved the handling, the style, simply everything about that kewl new gadget. I couldn't wait to get home to connect it to my "big boy", my mac pro, where I usually work on all my tasks in my office.
Since my "bb" is already a bit older (one of the first intel xeons -- 2x2 dual core engines, already upgraded for several times with drives and RAM) and didn't come yet with the internal bluetooth module I have a D-Link DWB-120M USB dongle in use which always has been reliable and so far has connected anything that cried for a bluetooth connection. Till today...
I installed the software update 1.0 on my big boy and started the recognition routine. The name of the magic mouse appeared, it tried to connect, but then broke up with something I've never seen before: "The pairing attempt was unsuccessful. Click "Continue" to try again."
I clicked "continue" for several times, read all the trouble shootings around the globe, reconnected it to my macbook (where it still worked fine and said, batteries are 100%), and finally must face the fact that maybe the dongle (or the procedure with it) must be the reason for the failure.
I am not really a dull-one; so I finally understand that the D-Link DWB-120M from 2004 might be inoperable in regard of the magic mouse. My bluetooth logi mouse still works with it, but I cannot make the magic mouse work at all.
So I want to ask into the big bubble if there are people around who could make the new mouse work on on a xeon mac pro with only a usb dongle, and which dongle it would be.. I already tried the support pages of D-Link, but, hey, ...should I really install IE6 or 7 on my mac to get support there??? I guess not.
Any hint is appreciated. I gladly will get myself a working usb dongle for my big boy, which would make the magic mouse work on it.
Thanks for your attention. Please add your experiences to my thread; maybe they're more people who would love to take advantage of your experiences.
..Blinky shiny magic mouse awaits its first job on big boy..
Take care
P

PS: I run 10.5.8 on all of my macs. I didn't upgrade to snow leopard yet, which I expect would not change anything until the mouse update has been done on all of my macs.
Thanks again

USB device lag on new Macbook Pro

I have 2 workstations at home, Desktop PC(Windows) and Macbook Pro(MB133ZH/A), leopard 10.5.2 with latest updates.
And there is LAG with any USB/Bluetooth mouse i try to connect to my Macbook Pro. If i connect those devices to PC, i feel that they moving almost faster than i move my hand =)))) Installed VMware Fusion for osx and put a Windows on it = no lag on USB/Bluetooth mpuse,No lag on Parallels too. And this is NOT a Acceleration Curve or moving speed involved, its just LAG,a latency between i move the mouse and then cursor moves.
So anyone familiar with that problem?
Tryed: Leopard Erase and Install+ no updates(=LAG),Leopard Erase and install + latest updates(=LAG). VMWare fusion + winxp SP2(=no LAG), Parallels + windows xp sp2(=no LAG).And this is NOT the Windows VS OSX issue, i just need it to work, because my USB MIDI decices are behaving same way, they exhibit latency in OSX and no latency or minimal latency in Windows. I m Dj and producer and this is vital for me, please help.

Best external keyboard & mouse to use with a macbook pro running using wind

I have been looking at the mstand to use my macbook pro on a desk, & learned it needs an external keyboard & mouse. Is there these items that will work without glitches in both mac os & windows? I will be using mac os as well as windows. I would also like to keep the cost down for the keyboard & mouse.

I have a better solution .. look at moshi zephyr

Magic mouse doesnt work with new macbook air

Hey guys,
Just bought the magic mouse and it pairs just fine to my new 13" macbook air. But it only moves around and clicks and nothing else. Does not scroll or do any multitouch functions. I have checked all software is up to date and all settings are correct.
Thanks in advance.

I was having the same issues as Cawlin and called up AppleCare. They suggested resetting the PRAM, and then a SMC reset. That didn't work, so they had me do a re-install of the OS and system updates. None of that worked, and then it suddenly occurred to me that I had installed USB Overdrive a little while back and turns out that it was the culprit. A quick uninstall and everything's back to normal. The mouse preference panel is now displaying the correct options for the magic mouse. So if you have any 3rd party software for a mouse or keyboard installed, I would suggest uninstalling or disabling it and see if that does the trick.

Wireless Mighty Mouse won't connect with MacBook Pro in Bootcamp

I recently swapped my Bootcamp-partitioned hard drive from an older Core Duo MacBook to a late-2007 Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro. I had no problem using the wireless mouse with the MacBook. I'd click on the Windows desktop once it booted up and it worked flawlessly.
But on the newer MacBook Pro it won't stay connected. I have to pair it with the Windows Bluetooth control panel each time I log in.
I'm not sure if this is connected to the issue or not, but I'm not able to use the trackpad and buttons on the MacBook Pro keyboard either.
I've seached the discussions without any success. Advice anyone?
Thanks in advance.
Patrick

Well, by some stroke of dumb luck it finally connected. I slid the on/off switch open until the green light started to blink, when the mouse connected I opened it all the way and decided to work.
