Try a different surface or change the settings?

I have my mouse at the fastest movement setting. Anything slower is annoying to me.
 
Have tried 2 different mouse pads. Still nothing. It barely moves seems like it's a problem with the connection

I've only ever seen this issue on PCs, and only when there was an IR receiver active.

I doubt that helps, but that's my experience with BT mice and issues like the one you described.
 
The only time I've had any tracking problems there was a small piece of dust where the sensor/laser is. There is a small cavity where stuff can get trapped and it's hard to see unless you look closely. I would take a look there.
 
In my case I did't see that issue. But to be honest the MagicMouse is a battery natural killer. Mine are at 30% and I'm using it for only for three weeks. :(

This is well known, currently I'm at 58% after 9 days.
 
do you have any other devices connected, i know mine does the same when i connect to either my other computers or some devices, is there anything blocking the signal, speakers etc.
 
i noticed that the magic mouse works fine on my macbook air..my older magic mouse works fine on my imac as well as my macbook air...

so apparently it is a problem with my imac and this one particular magic mouse
 
Have you tried unpairing it with your iMac and then establishing a new blue tooth pair...? Dunno if this would work but probably worth a try.....
