iMac M1 trackpad & mouse stutter, stop, jump, lag

Personally I think the problem is with the Bluetooth hardware on the new m1 Macs. I have 2 new Mac mouse's. One black, one white. Neither of them jump around on my old 2015 iMac which is running Monterey. But both mice jump around when connected to my new Mac mini running Monterey. And yes if you switch them off and on again, they will work for a while. And then start jumping around again. I've even tried reinstalling system software and the problem persists on my Mac mini. Not on my iMac. 2 days ago my wireless keyboard also starting playing up. Keeps losing its connection to the Mac mini. Works for a while then suddenly disconnects.

I had this issue with an older Mac, and what finally solved it was turning off Handoff on the Mac. YMMV.

M1 Mac mini 2020. MacOs 12.1. Black wifi mouse and white wifi mouse.

I am having the exact same issues All these replies about other software and energy saver and restarting your Mac are all ********. This is a MacOs 12 or M1 problem. And it has to do with bluetooth. I use axactly the same 2 bluetooth mice on my iMac running macOS 11, No Problem. Use them on my new M1 Mac mini and they're jumping all over the place. Been complaining about this since OS12 came out. What has Apple done - NOTHING.

It is about the Trackpad not the machine since I have had this issue with my MBP and a Mac Mini. The solution, as silly as it sounds, is to turn off the trackpad, wait a minute or so, and turn it back on. Always works for me...at least for a while.

Check “Prevent”, uncheck “Wake”, then:

1. Shut down
2. Pull the power plug from the wall socket/strip
3. Wait 5 or more minutes
4. Bring everyone back up.

Have you installed and run any "cleaning", "optimizing", "speed-up", anti-virus or VPN apps on your Mac?

Welcome, colmann, to Apple Support Communities!

Have you ever provided Apple direct Feedback, on this matter? Product Feedback - Apple.

The other thing is that others, of us, with the same hardware (“M1 Mac mini 2020. MacOs 12.1.”) are experiencing no such issues.

Hence, the question of what is different on your system, such that you are experiencing such issues?

Firstly if you do a simple search on the internet you will find there are plenty users having the same problems. Secondly I am not a Mac or macOS designer or developer. So I don’t know what the problem is, if I did I would not be seeking help from the Mac community. If you read my post you will see that I use both my magic mice on a iMac running BigSur and they work perfectly. As soon as I use either of them on the Mac mini running macOS 12 they start jumping about. I am looking for a reason and maybe a solution from the Mac community. It doesn’t help telling me it doesn’t happen to you. It’s not like I’m making it up. I would appreciate help and discussion from anybody experiencing the same problem and not from someone who is not experiencing the problem.

Could you post a snapshot of your Energy Preferences please?

Sorry to hear. IMO your best option now is to schedule your iMac for bring-in repair https://getsupport.apple.com/. Good luck, keep us posted.
