Drivers? I've never installed any mouse drivers, and I have an MX Master 3 also. Well I do use SteerMouse, which is a 3rd party tool for programming the buttons. I would absolutely recommend that over Logitech's own Options software.

Yeah, I guess it’s the options software I’m talking about. I have to power off and on the mouse every once in a while to get scrolling back.

Yeah, Logitech's Options software has a bad rap for a reason. If you are down for it, uninstall Logitech's software completely (you may have to use Easy Find or Find Any File to root out all the remnants) and give SteerMouse a try. It's not free, but it's actively maintained and worth it IMO.

I want to replace my old A1255 Apple Wireless Keyboard that sat in a drawer unused for ages until I recently paired it with my iPad Pro and am in love with the media keys. But it eats batteries and I don’t want to spend the money on [or mess with] a set of rechargeable batteries and charger.

Purchased the usbc Magic Mouse and returned it as it requires the latest MacOS. Unfortunately, my company decides when to upgrade to Sequoia.

Wow, talk about phoning it in. The charging port is still on the bottom? I'll stick with my Logitech mice. I know some people love them, but I can't imagine that after all these years they couldn't fix the charging problem.

The USB-C Magic Mouse states requirements of …

A Bluetooth enabled Mac with OSX 10.11 or later. That’s ElCapitan

I got the black numpad keyboard to go with the black trackpad.

is your Touch ID actually working, mine doesn't work and neither do my function keys

No... 😅

The Fn key and the Touch ID aren't responding at all on the keyboard.

And the Magic Trackpad isn't recognised as anything other than a basic pointing device. None of the gestures work. Not even two finger scrolling. And it doesn't connect at all over Bluetooth.

😬

Just on with Apple support now.

Ah ok dam I gotta use sequoia then, I was hoping I wouldn’t have to upgrade lol

I'm thinking the same. But the compatibility on the website says it supports OSX 10.11 which is ElCap.

I'll be pissed if it's only the latest Sequoia. :(
