For everyone using a Magic Mouse 2 is the 3 finger gestures working? Or are they just track pad Features?
Got a tip for us?

Logitech M720. Scroll, cut and paste work just fine. You can sign any of the buttons on the mouse for other functions if you wish. About $50 at Amazon unless on sale
My original Magic Mouse works, but doesn’t support scrolling which I think is normal.
I’ve got a Citrix mouse here which works well, but the scrolling is very clunky no matter what settings i change. I’m loathe to buy another Magic Trackpad 2 or Logitech Mouse as I’m waiting for the Magic Keyboard.

You have to enable show onscreen keyboard in Settings/accessibility/assistive touch.
However, I saw some really strange behavior when I left this on while a usb keyboard was attached, so be aware.

If you turn on assistive touch, you get access to the remapping of extended buttons on some mice--like my Logitech MX Anywhere 2S, for example. I map the top button behind the scroll wheel to "Home"; the forward arrow button on the left side to the app switcher; the back arrow button on the left side to Spotlight sears. Non of those work without assistive touch turned on.
Also, if you turn on assistive touch, you can "sometimes" push and hold the left mouse button and it will act like the old assistive touch mouse support, allowing you to drag UI things like your can when swiping with your finger. For example, if you want to use the mouse to click and drag to switch between pages on the Home screen, assistive touch must be on. In some applications and some circumstances, this also allows you to scroll pages by clicking and holding. Not in every case, however--it is inconsistently supported. Some of the unsupported cases make sense--like the fact that if you are in a text field, clicking and dragging selects text. In other cases it just seems capricious.

Awesome. I’ve set my cheap Amazon £12 mouse up on OS 13.4 and the issues I was having are all gone. Bluetooth keyboard and mouse now don’t interfere with each other IF I set it up via assistive touch. Much better
Really handy and works good .. yu wont regret buying this one
Does anyone have a third party mouse that doesn’t show this messages when running version 13.4 ?? It is really affecting the keyboard... Need one that doesn’t. TIA
Only the iPad Pro line with USB-C does not lose performance. It’s probably all about antenna design, when they designed the older models they didn’t anticipate the need for mouse and trackpad connection, so... that’s what we’d call on PCs “Wi-Fi and Blueooth cooperation“, when they share one of the two antennas on the device.
UPDATE: yep, that’s exatly what it is.

I have the iPad Pro 12.9” running iPadOS 13.4 and it still shows that error...
Can anyone confirm whether or not side scrolling works on the iPad with the MX Master (1,2 or 3) mouse? I really want to get a mouse with side scrolling for video editing, and if at all possible I don’t want it to be a Magic Mouse. I heard before the 13.4 update it didn’t, but I haven’t seen any confirmation after the update

Yeah, 2018 12.9 Pro here and get the warning with the Logitech MX Anywhere 2S mouse but not with the Magic Trackpad 2. With the 10.5 Pro, I see it with both devices.
I just bought an Mx Master 2s. I can confirm that side scrolling does work.
I also want to mention, though, scrolling in general feels really laggy and jank. Everything else seems to work okay though (the other buttons and the actual tracking.)
Did you do anything to enable side scrolling with the 2S? Doesn't work with mine, e.g. with app switcher window it won't scroll left/right. Accessibility is enabled.
I have the same issues with scrolling with my logitech MX anywhere mouse, and Logitech M720. Have to turn them off and then turn it back on in order for it to scrolling again from time to time. Not all the time, but irritating nonetheless. Hope there is a fix or a workaround.
