Doesn’t work. Doubt at this point it would work for final release either. Doesn’t seem Apple cares about this “accessibility feature”

iPad Magic Mouse 2 with iPadOS?

Guess I'll try to return my MM2. This was literally the reason I bought it.
It is so weird, I know it is sending out a pairing signal. I can easily see it on my Windows 10 machine.
It is almost like iPadOS is specifically ignoring it.

Stats in the Accessibility AssistiveTouch Devices that Magic Trackpad and Magic Mouse are not supported over Bluetooth.
It's called "Normal" mode in the Mac mouse settings. I always considered it unintuitive to school that way, so I always change it. No can do on the iPad Pro, it only alows scrolling "Natural " direction. Sorry to confuse with "Classic" some mouse software suites have that term.
TLDR, The mouse scroll direction can not be changed on iPad.
I have a first generation Magic Mouse and it pairs just fine with my iPad Pro 2018. I wonder if it has to do with how the mouse pairs with a Mac initially. Do you have a friend with a Mac that can pair it for you for the first time then try again on the iPad?
If the question is to me...
My daughter has a new Macbook Air, the MM2 paired instantly.
I then put a bluetooth dongle on my work Win10 desktop, turned on bluetooth and it saw the MM2 immediately and paired it.
This is just by turning on the mouse, none of this, hold the button down for 40 seconds nonsense.
I'm leaning towards that it is not supported on purpose, it sees it but doesn't let you add it.
Maybe they are working on getting it fully functional before they unwrap it, who knows?
FYI. It looks like someone got it working. I returned mine so I can't test.

I use the Magic Mouse with my iPad Pro 10.5 but the gestures don’t work.
I can confirm Magic Mouse 2 does work with iPadOS using the workaround found by the Reddit user. Also you can set-up both left & right click. And it shows up in the battery widget as Magic Mouse 2. Make sure to follow the instructions, I followed the ones posted here...

And it still works in beta 7.

Magic Mouse has been working for be since beta 3 or 4. Not sure for others but haven’t had an issue for me. But like mentioned, no gestures. Click and holding allows scrolling. I can live with that. Gestures would be a bonus.
