Hundreds of Mac OS users in forums are complaining about the mouse lag that first appeared with an upgrade to Monterey. There is no mention of this being addressed with the latest update to 12.5. None of the solutions offered by forum members seem to help. I am going to go forward with the update to 12.5 and hope that it is resolved — but until Apple directly addresses the issue, there is no reason to believe it has been resolved.

@JMcGee2018, doesn't that keyboard come with a USB unifying receiver, so you don't necessarily have to use Bluetooth? My current work around for this issue is using an Apple wireless keyboard, which I run wired 95% of the time, which is obviously not an ergonomic keyboard ... when running in Bluetooth it has occasional hiccups and even as a developer, for me, it's easier to overlook that it'll fine, fine, fine ... entire word delayed, etc... The mouse side of things is totally unacceptable for me. So, on that front, I use a Logitech M720 triathlon mouse. In Bluetooth mode it's fairly useless. But using the unifying receiver it's really very good EXCEPT, my computer is remote from the mouse with an external monitor, so I have a usb extension to bring the receiver closer to the mouse and it works very well.
The receiver is on a usb extension to a hub and really has no issues.
Side note: reasonable to point out that if the ~2.4ghz receiver needs and extension wouldn't the Bluetooth (also ~2.4ghz) need an extension to work well? Maybe, but that's a separate issue as even if my mouse is any range from the computer it's still effectively useless due to these intermittent lag issues. I have tested that with this specific mouse and others when I'm on the go.
FWIW, in a very quick look I don't have an apple.com.bluetooth.plist as you mentioned but I do have:
From when I was testing those.
Also happening to me on my M1 mini with Monterey, i'm using a large black mousepad..possibly related
I’m always 1 year behind so I’m planning to upgrade my Intel iMac2020 from Big Sur to Monterey…Has the mouse lag problem been solved already?
thnx
Does Apple even read this thread? It's totally unacceptable that this issue still persists after so long. It happens both on my Macbook M1 Air and my M1 14 Macbook Pro.
No apple.com.bluetooth.plist file on my Mac Pro 2019 and Monterey 12.6.1. Keyboard has to be wired and magic mouse is practically useless!
Isn't this grounds for a class action? This is basically rendering all 3rd party external devices unusable.
Any lawyers in the thread?
