Which mouse should I choose to be compatible with MacOS?

Good day, Mac users. Using a 2017 Macbook Pro A1708 machine and having some issues with the Microsoft Arc Touch mouse. I sit exclusively on MacOS, without any Boot Campa and Windows.
PS: The Microsoft Arc Touch mouse works exclusively via Bluetooh.
When I connect the mouse to the poppy, everything works, except for some moments.
1) Scrolling occurs with inversion (for example, I turn the page down, but actually up)
2) After I wake up the poppy with Bluetooth turned on and the mouse turned on, the mouse does not interact with the laptop, I have to reconnect
3) The same as and in paragraph "2" occurs if the computer is turned off and on again
4) The mouse randomly disconnects from the computer (or somehow stops interacting with the poppy)
All of the above did not happen when I used this mouse on a Windows PC (Acer Aspire E5-573).
I called local service centers, where consultants all unanimously advised the Apple Magic Mouse, but since the price of this device is over the roof, I do not consider it.
The question is:
1) Which mouse to pick up for a poppy (Bluetooth only, I don’t want it via USB, because you know yourself with adapters)?
2) How can I tell if the mouse is compatible with MacOS?

1 The scrolling direction is a "feature" of the poppy))) in the mouse settings you can switch to the reverse - I strongly advise against magic mouse
(or be sure to use it at least in the store)
units work, but you don’t have a usb port for the receiver)

With the direction of the scroll, everything is very fun - in the settings you can turn on the reverse scroll, after which the mouse will scroll normally, and the touchpad vice versa.
At the expense of the usb port - there is only TYPE-C, the adapter has not yet been purchased

"Scrolling happens with inversion" - and this is logical )) when you scroll down on the phone with your finger, and the content goes up

I have a mouse from aliexpress , and there are no such problems. Sometimes it just falls off, but very rarely.

I use 2 pcs - Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile 3600. They work fine.
Occasionally it happens - the mouse starts to "slow down" - as if the computer freezes, the cursor moves around the screen with a delay.
In this case, I just turn the mouse OFF-ON, and everything becomes ok.

I am using Logitech G604. I set it up so that it "knows" all the trackpad gestures. I wrote a separate post about this - https://macosworld.ru/logitech-g604-for-macos/
