I recently purchased a Magic Mouse from Apple. I was assured that it would work with my iMac (late 2013) if I had Blue Tooth and the latest OS--which I do. The trouble is, my iMac doesn't have a USB-C port. I've been researching USB-C to USB connection cables, but I'm unsure what to buy. Can someone recommend the right cable? Thank you.
iMac 27″, macOS 10.15
The Magic Mouse does not have a USB-C port. It has a Lightning port. The cable included is a Lightning to USB-C cable.
As mentioned, pretty much any USB-C to regular USB-A adapter will work. USB-C to USB-A Adapter - Amazon.com
Alternatively, you can simply buy a Lightning to USB-A cable: link-> Lightning to USB Cable (1 m) - Apple

The Magic Mouse comes with a USB-C to Lightning cable. One option is to buy a USB to Lightning cable (or if you already have one for an older iPhone you can use that). See: Lightning to USB Cable (1 m) - Apple
Another option (that I have not personally tested) is to use the cable that came with the Magic Mouse and the following adapter: https://www.amazon.com/Female-Adapter-Charger-Airpods-Samsung/dp/B079LYHNSR/ref=sr_1_3?crid=30T7SZEPBSO8K&keywords=usb%2Bc%2Bfemale%2Bto%2Busb%2Bmale%2Badapter%2B2%2Bpack&qid=1652455875&sprefix=USB%2BC%2BFemale%2Bto%2BUSB%2BMale%2BAdapter%2B2%2Caps%2C145&sr=8-3&th=1
Amazon is full of hundreds of them. Simply look for the correct connections, it's very very simple.
Thank you FoxFifth. The Lightning to USB cable looks like it will work.
Need advice on buying a UBS-C to USB cable converter
