Sonoma Bluetooth Mouse Lag issue on M2 15" MacBook Air

Ever since upgrading to Sonoma, I've found my 15" MB Air is having serious lag issues with my bluetooth mouse. I have 4 different set-ups, all which have a bluetooth mouse at their desk. Regardless of which BT mouse I'm using, I am having serious lag issues with BT mice.

It's become a serious issues as I do a lot of precision clicks for my work, and it's become so serious that I not have to exclusively resort to using the built-in trackpad.

Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone have a solution?

MacBook Air 15″, macOS 14.1

Turn off 'Pointer acceleration' in Settings / Mouse / Advanced.

I have the same issue on an M2 Studio running 14.1.1. Left to right seems fine, up and down, not so much.

Yup… restarted, and I even updated to the latest version of Sonoma. The issue still persist… And I have unpaired and repaired all of the mice. :(

I am at the point where if a system restore might fix it, I’ll go ahead and restore the whole Mac, but I really don’t want to go through the effort if it’s not needed…

Also happening with an M2 Mac Mini using Logitech Trackball with Logitech Unifying receiver. Seems to have started when 14.1.1 installed a couple weeks ago.

Fortunately, I have a second Logitech Trackball with its own Unifying receiver. I swapped both pieces of the Logitech hardware and the problem has persisted so it's definite NOT a Logitech hardware problem.

I have not noticed any issues with my bluetooth Apple keyboard though.

Have you tried re pairing the mouse? And restarting your Mac to see if the issues persist?

Well dang, connected a spare mouse and all good. Apple Care is sending a replacement
