New M1 Mac mini keyboard Lagging

Maybe it's because I don't let mine go to sleep.

I have a Mac mini M1, and if I leave it turn on for a long time, like 10 hours, I get this problem. The solution it's to restart. Hope Apple fix this soon.

Most likely it's not solvable with software and we're stuck with using a wired keyboard. Mouse seems to be better.

Same problem here. Started with Magic Mouse / Keyboard. Now on MX Master 3 / MX Keys first via Bluetooth, now via Dongle but still choppy now and then. Very annoying... Turned off bluetooth, wifi but no change.

sorry for my english i'm french.

Hello everyone, I have had a mac m1 for around 1 month and I am disappointed. The last fix made things worse, my mac is slowing down. Typing on the keyboard is awfully slow since the patch. I have an imac and a macbook pro since 2012 and 2013 I am not disappointed but the mac mini m1 it disappointed! I specify I have the official keyboard and the official mouse. Little more if we do not restart the mac, after several days the icon pixelates enormously.

I've been having a similar problem. I'm using a Satechi USBC hub and the mouse lag is just unbearable. The thread I started:

I'm curious if anyone in this thread found any success with the latest OS updates?

I have exact issue. 16g M1 MacMini. Purchased about 4 weeks ago along with new keyboard, mouse etc. After a day or so of uptime, it lags very badly and I get a small white box above the typing that has both numbers and some non english characters. I have switched BT keyboards from my iMac and have same issue. Obviously the iMac does not have the problem. I've done as you have by turning the keyboard off and back on. Only temporary fix is a reboot. I'm at a loss but suspect someday there will be a system upgrade and magically, it will go away. The sooner the better. I have had many Macs and other than hardware failures, I have been extremely lucky and have had little or no "system" or app related issues. What makes this issue frustrating is the lag time between a reboot and the lagging returning. Makes troubleshooting very painful.

Just did do the Bluetooth reset. Will see if anything different. I think everyone with this problem should send a comment to Apple engineering to request an explanation for why Bluetooth does not work well on M1 Mini. They May need to replace a bunch of them.

I did the BT reset and got a couple days before lagging once again started. I did notice it seemed to happen after a sleep period (but not the first since rBT eset and restart). Looks like there is no cleaver way or magic workaround at present.

I've had my M1 Mac Mini for 3 days and am already experiencing this issue with my wireless keyboard that connects via a USB-A receiver. Connected the keyboard into some other devices and it worked just fine, so the problem must be with the Mini. Tried all of the workarounds people have suggested - turning off the bluetooth, restarting, plugging in through a dongle via the USB-C ports, etc. and the lag always comes back. Really annoying and frustrating and not the first impression I wanted to get from my first Mac.

**** i have a M1 Mac Mini. But i don’t Have a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse instead i use usb. In the beginning there was some lag but I think its better now. I’m glad I don’t have a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. So far I’m loving the Mac mini, wayyyy better than windows. I do hope they fix the Bluetooth issues if one day i begin using it. I know the Bluetooth for airdrop works flawlessly with my iPhone to Mac.

I have the newer magic keyboard and mouse and the problem still persists. If you turn keyboard off and back on, it seems to clear the problem. Still waiting for Apple to at least recognize that a problem exists with the new M1 Mini. Not your stellar company support history here.

It's May 19th, and I've been with the SAME EXACT ISSUE. After it wakes up my bluetooth keyboard and mx master 2s lags so bad on my fully loaded macbook air m1 16GB 1TB SSD on 11.3.1. THIS IS INSANE. I see OP has posted this in January . Holy crap...Apple PLEASE FIX THIS, this is totally unacceptable. I'm pretty sure this is a OS X problem as my bluetooth keyboard is not a logitech series like everybody else. You guys seriously need to fix this.

Same problem. I bought a new MacMini M1 last month and for that month, no lag. Then, I connected the QNAP TR-002 RAID enclosure and since then, if I don't turnoff the mac overnight, when I wake it the next day, the keyboard lags; I have to shut down and start the mac again to get the keyboard to work normally. Not sure if the QNAP connection is simply a coincidence or the cause. QNAP is connected to the T3/USB4 port on the mini. I'm running 11.2.3

I’ve read this about SMC and NVRAM on the M1 macs « There’s no separate SMC in the M1 Macs; its functions are built into Apple’s processor. NVRAM still exists, but it can’t be reset by a key combination at startup, and messing with it using Terminal commands could require a revive or restore of your Mac’s startup firmware! As a result, experts suggest not attempting to manipulate NVRAM at all. »

i think the support rep is trying to use old tricks on new machines not knowing is useless on M1 macs.
