magic mouse 2 haywire

Magic Mouse 2 seems to be having bigger issues then just lag.

My pointer stays only on the right side and jumps up and down. I am not able to get it to the left side, when I move in that direction, it jumps back to the upper right and then starts moving up and down and if something is on my desk top it opens it.

Last we I had and issue with my keyboard that was solved.

please help it you can.

TIA

Try cleaning the optical sensor on the bottom of your mouse.

Test a different mouse. Most any generic or pc brand of USB mouse will work with your iMac.
