I have two macbook pros, one I bought myself and the other is from my employer. They are both 14-inch, Nov 2023 model (I am assuming this is the right way to specify the model, but if this is not the correct way, pls let me know). However, the feeling of my magic mouse is completely different on the two macbooks --- the feeling on the one I bought myself is really smooth and the positioning is very accurate, while the feeling on the other one from my employer is very bad, far from being smooth (feels like it tends to jump here and there), and the positioning is not accurate.
Hare are more details:
The mouse has the same setting on both computers.
I am using a Dell 27in 3840 x 2160 S2721QS monitor. All experiences I described were under connection to this monitor (when not being connected to the monitor, the mouse works well on both macbooks).
The one I bought mysel (the one working good with the mouse) has a M3 chip, 8GB mem, Ventura 13.6.3 OS. The one from my employer (the one not working good) has a M3 pro chip, 18GB mem, and Sequoia 15.5 OS.
I have been using the one I bought (the good one) for 2 years, while the one from my employer is new to me (don't know whether this is relevant though).
I don't know exactly which version of magic mouse it is -- should be bought a few years ago.
Any ideas why this happens, and if there is any work around?
