Horrible Mouse Lag When Connected To Certain Bluetooth Headphones - 2022 MacBook Pro 13.3” M2

I'm new to the world of Mac and struggling to find a workaround for my newest issue - whenever I use a bluetooth mouse (Logitech M650L) along with my bluetooth headphones (Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro) the interference from the headphones makes the mouse unusable. The lag is so painfully slow that it is challenging to get any real functionality out of the mouse. As soon as I disable Bluetooth to the Samsung Galaxy Buds the mouse works flawlessly.

I have searched for several days trying to find a fix but nothing I have tried has worked. As far as I can tell, this is a common issue on the Macbook. When using other bluetooth headphones (my wife's Sony WH-1000XM5's) the mouse works perfectly fine. For what its worth, all software is up to date.

Does anyone know of a workaround other than buying another pair of $400+ headphones?

I would have to guess this is a Samsung Bluetooth issue. I have multiple pairs of Bluetooth headphones paired with my 16" MacBook Pro M1 Pro and the Logitech MX Master 3s mouse and never have I had any issue listening through my headphones and using the mouse.

The headphones I have include:

Jabra Elite 85T

Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3

Sennheiser Momentum 3 Over the ear

Audio Technical ATH M50X

Not one of them interferes with my Logitech Mouse

I understand it’s an issue with the Samsung Bluetooth, but as my original post states, I’m trying to find a workaround other than just buying new headphones. Are there any settings in the MacBook Pro that can be changed in an attempt to remedy this issue?

To my knowledge, Bluetooth is not customizable on MacBook Pro. You connect a device and it either works or it doesn't. I can't imagine what the Galaxy Buds do to cause such an issue, but as I mentioned, I have all the Bluetooth earphones I mentioned above and none cause any issues with my mouse working without hiccup at the same time.

Do your Samsungs have multipoint connection? If they do, are the possibly connected with another device which is nearby at the same time?

Hi, I had same problem and devices: on my experience, I confirm that the problem is the multipoint connection.

If you disable bluetooth/connection on your phones, tablets, etc, logitech mouse should work perfectly on your mac.
