I've installed Mojave on 4 of my Mac's. (3 iMac's and a MacBook Air). The Air and two of the iMac's are running smooth.
One iMac, the Magic Mouse doens't right click. These are some of the resolutions I've tried:

1- Checked the system preferences to make sure Secondary Right Click is enabled.

2- Disabled Secondary Right Click, rebooted, then enabled Secondary Right Click.

3- Erased the Magic Mouse, rebooted, then added the Magic Mouse.

4- Deleted the file "~/library/preferences/com.apple.bluetooth.plist" and rebooted.

5- Reinstalled the Mojave Beta

6- Tried a different Magic Mouse that works on another iMac running Mojave and has no issues with Right Click. It didn't Right Click.

This is driving me bananas! If anyone has some assistance I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

Not sure why I have two forum ID's either, but I found the solution in case anyone else is having this issue.

I suspect it occured when I restored my Time Machine backup to the iMac.

Solution:

Erase Magic Mouse (you'll need a usb mouse) in System Preference/Mouse

Go to ~/library/preferences

delete:

com.apple.AppleMultitouchMouse.plist

com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.mouse.plist

com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.trackpad.plist

com.apple.driver.AppleHIDMouse.plist

Reboot

Add Magic Mouse

WALLA! Works perfect.
