Mouse Lag

Monterey 12.6.1. Mac Mini. Wired Mouse (two, Logitech)

This problem started only recently, maybe 10/22.

When my wired mouse started lagging, I though it was getting old. So I replaced with a new wired Logitech Mouse.

I cleaned the mouse pad.

I checked the settings.

I found other people having similar problems. So, it seems this is all about Mac, not my mouse.

It's unbelievable to me that Apple allows this to go unfixed. Some of us have work to do -- and it's cursor intensive.

This is beyond frustrating. It's infuriarating.

Anyone found a fix? A legitimate fix?

Apple forced me to choose from among irrelevant topics. I do not have a "magic mouse". Is that what I have to buy now?

So tired of this BS.

thanks

Mac mini 2018 or later

Are you still experiencing this issue.

I recently bought the new Logitech MX Master 3S for Mac. Wanted that model as it didn't have a Bluetooth receiver dongle, and worked natively with the Mac. But the cursor lag was atrocious. As a designer, there was no way I could work with it. This was with Monterey. I sent it back, and went back to my trusty decade old Logitech G400 wired mouse.

But I started noticing that it too now had lag (though not as much)! However, it was only associated with my external display as using the mouse with my MacBook Pro 14 M1 was smooth. I was thinking it may have had something to do with newer Logitech drivers/software which I had removed, but I hadn't restarted my computer for changes to take effect. Doing so solved the issue.

There can sometimes be conflicts with drivers or screen refresh rate.
