MacBook Air M1 Logitech MX Master 3 pointer stutter

Hello, everyone.


I have a MacBook Air M1 and I bought a Logitech MX Master 3. I use it via bluetooth and I’ve noticed some random stutters in the pointer.


Today, I noticed that I can consistently make the pointer stutter when I close “system preferences”. There’s a link below of me getting the pointer to stutter.


Can anyone with the same mouse try to replicate that? It’s driving me insane.

It is not mouse problem (have Mac version) it is BigSur problem. Mouse pointer work just fine after reboot and later on after day or two it start lagging more and more in time. Before Logitech MX Master 3 (for Mac) I have had Steel Series V500 mouse with same problem with BigSur and a bit worse in couple of days mouse stops working completely after lags. Disconnect and reconnect to USB mouse helps with mouse returns but still with lags. Only rebooting helps with pointer lags/madness. Thought it is mouse problem but was wrong, same with Logitech. So for sure it is not mouse problem, but global non Apple mouses.


And a bit more, I used Logitech MX Master (for Mac) in two ways of work with same laggy result, connected through Bluetooth and now connected through unifying receiver as I use Logitech MX Keys Keyboard and my iMac with T2 chip which prevents Bluetooth from work until you enter login password with FileVault enabled.

I had the same issue. I would recommend using the usb unifying receiver. It was working great for me until I switched it to bluetooth connection and the lag started. I tried to go back to the usb using the unifying software but it was incompatible with Mac OS BigSur so I used the version that is compatible with Catalina and it worked perfectly.
