Gone Haywire Mac OS
When I upgraded from Mac OS Sierra to High Sierra, had the same problems with the Apple mouse, but the Apple BT keyboard works fine. Turned off the BT mouse and used a generic Logitec wireless with USB dongle. It still had some problems. Plugged in a cheapo wired HP mouse and it works fine. Harry 'Haywire Mac' McClintock (1882–1957) was a man of many colors. In addition to serving in the Philippines as a civilian in the military during the Spanish-American War, he worked on the railroad, as a cowboy, stevedore, and as a union organizer with the 'Wobblies' (Industrial Workers of the World).

go haywire, to
To run amok; to become hopelessly entangled or to break down. There are two theories as to the origin of this term, which is originally American. One holds that it came from the practice of using old baling wire to make repairs, a makeshift solution at best. The other, upheld by H. L. Mencken, says it refers to the difficulty of handling coils of wire used for bundling hay, which readily become entangled.
