Magic mouse 2 mouse lag on macbook pro 16" 2020

Update: Bought a Logitech mouse, programmed the buttons to be mac-friendly and I've had zero issues. Note: I'm using the Logitech USB Bluetooth dongle and NOT the Mac Mini's Bluetooth. I have determined, after reading and trying all the troubleshoots, the Bluetooth adapter in the Mac Mini 2018 is complete trash. I would love to upgrade to the new M1 Mac Mini buuuut it doesn't have upgradeable memory so I'm stuck with this workaround for now. This may be the last Mac I ever buy...I hope this helps!

Tried all three options in the debut menu, rebooted, reset PRAM (PSU), etc. still same exact issue. at first I thought it was due to high cpu usage from keyshot and websites when Squarespace is loaded, but it happens now all the time, nothing in system monitor shows high usage. this is getting ridiculous.

It is a joke from Apple I guess. Latest techonolgy devices unable to talk with each other. I was just going to upgrade my 2017 macbook pro to 16 by hoping to get rid of tih annoying lag however as far as I read above it is still there. Unbelievable.

Now I have two options, buy a Logitech touch mouse for 200 or buy remote trackpad.

I’ve had this issue on every Mac I’ve had and it’s driving me insane.

I’m on my second Mac and now second Magic Mouse and exactly the same issue.

I’ve tried everything and nothing works.

I’m now using a USB mouse because I can’t fix it. ☹️

Nope like I said I’ve tried everything. Took battery out of retouching tablet. There are no other wireless devices around.

its not a MacBook btw it’s an iMac.

Had same issue on last iMac and other mouse.

Same problem on my Mac mini 2018. Hopefully Big Sur update will fix the problem! Does anyone notice it’s worse when running processor intensive apps?

Shift Option Bluetooth icon and Factory reset all connected Apple devices worked for me. I then re-paired keyboard and mouse and it seemed to work.

Did an update to 11.01 fix this?

Not for me

This too solved my problem.

Wow that worked like a champ!

I’ve tried pretty much everything.

Hi, I'm not sure if you found a solution. I starting having terrible lagging issues, along with shaky movement, with my Mighty Mouse 2. It was working perfectly one day, I charged it, and then it suddenly became an infuriating experience. I was very close to taking it to the Genius bar.

I did all the things you find out there, including:

Cleaning it

Removing bluetooth preferences files

SMC reset

Factory reset

Resetting bluetooth module on Mac

etc. etc. etc.

None worked.

I suspected Wifi interference, but I don't have many options in terms of moving my router and computer. I thought that maybe there was bluetooth signal interference, maybe?

I'm only typing this here because I found the solution (and others can try it if they are searching for help):

I have two external monitors for my Macbook Air. The way it handled the dual monitors after the update to Big Sur changed, so the mouse issue may be more related to the OS.

I opened the Display preferences and set all my monitors to "Scaled". This fixed the issue immediately.

System Preferences > Displays > (Change from "Default for display" to "Scaled")

Does that I mean this is a graphics problem/lag? I have no idea. My mouse now tracks perfectly, you have no idea how happy I am now. This problem was creating constant stress and I am so relieved it is solved.

I posted a detailed reply above of how I fixed this same problem for me.

Change your display settings to "Scaled".

Are you using external monitors? I don't know why exactly this fixed it, but my mouse immediately went back to normal as soon as I did this with just one of my monitors.

I'm having this problem too, on my Mac Mini 2018. I've been experiencing this issue for about a month, which lines up pretty well with the update to Catalina 10.15.7.

Troubleshooting tips led me to disabling and enabling bluetooth, checking the mouse sensor, removing USB-C accessories, etc. with no luck. Mouse works fine when I pair it to other devices like my iPad Pro.
