Various Bluetooth & mouse issues on M4 Macbook Pro.

How to reinstall macOS - Apple SupportGoodOperator wrote:

At first- I was experiencing frequent magic keyboard input lag, erroneous inputs, and constant disconnects/reconnects (which persists).

Someone suggested booting into safe mode and then booting back into regular startup, which I attempted. What has followed is a new issue wherein my 2.4Ghz connected mouse will jump over certain on-screen items, like links, or anything clickable.

The skips and jumps don't always happen but they happen 75% of the time or more.

I've tried everything I could find online short of reinstalling macOS.

I also have had an issue where the Macbook would wake immediately after sleeping, which I thought might be related to bluetooth, since something during my debugging of that pointed to that being the case.

I've started simply useing the pmset sleep now command since that is the only way I can have a functional sleep state on this $6000 computer. Needless to say I'm extremely disappointed.

Any help from the community would be great. Thanks.

Reinstall the macOS on top of your existing macOS is painless and certainly would be telling one way or the other.

It is unclear when you say " magic keyboard input lag" ...

are you saying the built in internal keyboard or an external keyboard?

if the mac is not performing as expect new out of the box, return it or exchange it for one that works.

You have a limited 14 days for an exchange or refund for any reason—see Returns & Refunds Order status

Perhaps you may try a shut-down and cold restart instead?

Seems the relatively painless re-install of a modern macOS

is a fairly easy thing to accomplish; success is just a moment

away. If you keep notes and correctly do a 'trial run' of things.

..At times as these, occasional restarts can be therapeutic..

If nothing else, to learn patience and/or foreboding if anything.

The Apple Support articles have technical user guides, to help

and Table of Contents, too; those may be useful to read ahead.

Take care & good luck!

I can see why the First Responder suggested what they did since you mentioned it.

OP wrote, ”I’ve tried everything I could find online, short of reinstalling macOS.” 

So, which of the three issues do you want to help with? 

Is there an order in which to address them? 

If we suggest something, biting the hand that feeds you might leave the person hungry for answers, suggestions, and assistance with these technical issues. 

Seems such a demand by the author would require more concrete clues than “various issues”, & perhaps less adversarial stance from the author.
