You can, drag your mouse down and below. There are many gestures but MM1 scrolling doesn’t work ??
yes, but only with activated assistive touch. i could do that before, so this new mouse feature just makes it worse, you still can’t use the mouse without assistive touch, so i wonder why they present this now as a new feature, when it isn’t possible to get to the home screen without additional steps.
Yep, same here; MM1 does not scroll. Can anybody confirm whether MM2 is fully functional and configurable for all gestures, including getting back to the home screen or do we have to buy a trackpad for that? The magic trackpad 2 is amazing for home/office use but I don't see myself using it in a mobile setup.
According to MacRumors and other sites, MM1 and Trackpad 1 are compatible with iPad OS 13.4. I’ve tried both today and I have no scrolling capability or any other gestures—only point and left click work. Something is amiss. I had Assistive Touch set up before when I was playing with previous mouse support. I wonder if something has carried over? Did you all try Assistive Touch before?
Edit: apologies, below I describe Magic Trackpad 2 functionality, not Magic Mouse 2. For some reason your last sentence about the MT2 was what stuck to my mind.
MT2 is fully functional:
Slide cursor forcefully to the top right corner of the screen: bring down control center
Slide cursor forcefully to elsewhere on the top of the screen: bring down notifications
Slide cursor forcefully to the right edge of the screen while in an app: bring up slideover app
Slide cursor to the bottom of the screen: bring up dock
Keep sliding cursor down once dock is up, while in an app: app switcher, followed by home screen
Two-finger swipe up /down: scroll
Two finger swipe right / left: back / forward (Safari for instance); activate swipe actions on list items (Files for instance)
Two finger swipe right / left in notifications: show widgets / camera
Three / four finger swipe up half way: app switcher
Three / four finger swipe up half way in slideover app: slideover app switcher
Three / four finger swipe up all the way: close app, notifications, control center, camera
Three / four finger swipe right / left: switch to previous / next app
Three / four finger swipe right / left in slideover app: switch to previous / next slideover app
MT2 configuration options available:
General / Trackpad: tracking speed, natural scrolling on / off, tap to click on / off, two-finger secondary click
Accessibility / Pointer Control: automatically hide pointer on (delay) / off, pointer animations, trackpad inertia on / off, scrolling speed
Home Screen & Dock / Multitasking: Gestures on / off (enables / disables the various gestures listed above)
On a personal note, the pointer felt weird until I turned off trackpad inertia. Now it's nicely under control. I'm also still looking for information on how to hide slideover app.

Ok, I talked to one of my Apple buddies and he said M1 and TP1 does not support scrolling. I went looking around on Apple’s website and found this...

This is very sad, and just confirmed accurate, unfortunately. Horrible implementation. No reason MM1 shouldln’t be able to scroll. Useless feature addition for those of us with MM1 or MT1.
I'm in the same boat with all of you regarding the revelation of Magic Mouse v1 incompatibility in iPadOS 13.4. I just complained to them about it at apple.com/feedback. Feel free to unload on them about this seemingly anti-consumer practice of artificially phasing out hardware like this. Hopefully if they hear enough of our fury, they'll include support for it.
I actually thought I had the V2 Magic Mouse... and that dumb mouse with the little grey ball on top was the V1... and I now realize that was the "Mighty" Mouse - haha. I had no idea there was 2 iterations of the glassy-topped multi touch mouse.

Just figured out that when you move your cursor down near the dock and it pops up, if you keep moving down you’ll get back to the home screen. I have the same scrolling issue though, very annoying. If I had the feedback assistant I would leave some so hopefully they would fix it...
The Magic Mouse 1 will work with iPad OS, but it is basically unusable... I am going to sell mine and I got a $20 Logitech mouse from Walmart that works a lot better. This will hold me over until the magic keyboard is available.
It always amaze me how hungry for money is this company and how fool we all are listening to them say that they do everything for the benefit of people! I am lucky enough to have both a magic mouse 1 and a magic mouse 2. Ignoring the fast that the designer of the magic mouse 2 is an incompetent (how can you put the charging port below the mouse??????.... but probably they think many people will buy a second one for when the first one is charging) both mouses connect to the ipad. Anyhow, as many of you correctly pointed out, only for the magic mouse 2 the scrolling works. I am 100% sure this is not accidental. It is to force people to buy the magic mouse 2. Anyhow, I just keep the 1 for the mac and the 2 for the ipad. They only difference between the two mouses is that one is rechargeable with a cable (I just use rechargeable batteries for the other one 
).... Basically zero innovation over the last years and only more and more expensive products! For a trillion dollars company I would expect top notch research and really innovative products. Anyway, it is unbelievable...

It's funny that my Mighty mouse works flawlessly. but being like 20 years old the latency isn't as good as my MM1.
just downloaded the update and connected my mm1. immediately came here lol
This is beyond frustrating. Why are they supporting cheap bluetooth mice and not their own? I have a MM1 and previously I could at least click and drag to scroll now I can't even do that. I really hope they will fix this in future software update...
It seems that Apple may have deliberately crippled the Magic Mouse 1 and Trackpad 1. If they have and its not a bug that is truly shocking.
Also does anyone know how to pair the maci mose 2 to my iPad Pro? Its currently paired to my mac, but I am unable to put the mouse into discoverable mode and I have tried connecting it directly to the iPad with a USB-C to Lightning cable.

MT1 crippled down over here too, on an 2017 12,9’’... (that was just paid off after 2 years of finance and recently developed LCD light bleed on its own while it has always been babied on a desk for its whole life).... and now they want to force an extra 8% of its value as payment for no other apparent reason than executive bonuses - no they will not get any more eurodollars from me - my ’08 MBP will soldier on until time finally come to migrate away, they have progressively gone too far with grit over the years and us oldtimers get increasingly alienated to the brand
and what is that with no proper arrow pointer option to pinpoint things? to keep the Macbook line safe from cannibalization?

Magic Mouse 1 - No scrolling or swiping. Effectively useless.
Magic Mouse 2 - Scrolls and swipes fine. However, many apps not really set up for mouse support yet, so still not that useful overall. Also, some of the stuff that does work is kinda buggy.
We're not there yet guys. It seems to me iPadOS 13.4 is to get the developers on board and iPadOS 14 may be the real release for mouse and trackpad support (not including Magic Mouse 1 or Magic Trackpad 1). In the meantime, it's almost moot anyway, since the Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro won't even be out for 2 more months.
