Magic Mouse – Secondary Click Not Working

I have recently taken Mojave for a spin and I am really happy with the changes in the new OS. I know it is merely eye-candy, but I really like the dark theme. Things have been working well, but I came across a nagging issue with my MagicMouse:

For some reason the secondary click would simply not work. I had made sure the settings were enabled by making sure that the “Secondary Click” option was ticked (see screenshot below). I tried ticking it on and off, restarting the machine, deleting the mouse and reconnecting it… nothing had worked…

Finally I decided to take a look at some of the plist files and here is my solution to this problem:

    1. Go to the ~/Library/Preferences/ directory
    2. Delete the following files:
      com.apple.AppleMultitouchMouse.plist
      com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.mouse.plist
      
      Restart the machine

Et voilà!
