Magic Mouse 2 and Magic Trackpad 2 are recognized as Mighty Mouse

Just got a new Magic Keyboard, Magic Mouse 2 and Magic Trackpad in the mail.

I am running OS X El Capitan; plugged them in and everything was fine. However they are not recognized as "Magic" devices.

Can't scroll, no gestures are working.

I can't even scroll, only move cursor, click and right click. The devices are just detected as regular peripherals.

I also have the Magic Mouse 1 and Magic Trackpad 1 lying around: they work just fine. The keyboard is ok too.

Here are screenshots for the Mouse Settings on my Mac:

Any ideas?

In fact both the mouse and trackpad are recognized as the old Apple Mighty Mouse. This is what I see when connecting any of the devices:

Things I've tried

• Deleting ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mouse / trackpad
• Resetting PRAM
• Resetting SMC
• Logging as a Guest user
• Creating new location in Networking
• Re-pairing both with and without cable

It always comes back as Mighty Mouse. First generation devices do work without a hitch. When both mice/trackpads are connected, preference pane shows gestures for Magic Mouse or Trackpad but only 1st gen devices work.

Solution 1:

After fiddling with it for a while I came to the conclusion that I need a software update.

Installing OS X El Capitan 10.11.2 Beta (15C27e) fixed the issue.

Got to say force touch is pretty sweet.
