Mouse and Keyboard severely lagging after upgrading to Monterey

I recently upgraded to Monterey and my keyboard and mouse lag so badly it takes twice as long to get anything done. I'm constantly having to move the mouse and the keyboard has a mind of its own. Can someone please tell me how to fix this issue? This question was posted before and claimed to be solved but the solution is absurd. The user plugged in the keyboard and mouse to a hub. That's not possible with my bluetooth magic mouse because its not usable when its plugged in since the cord is on the bottom.

You do not say what exact Mac is this...?

Have you rebooted more than once since your "upgrade to Monterey" (?)


So is this Internal or external your issue—it is most unclear from your post...


If it is Intel Mac try resetting NVRAM/PRAM Reset NVRAM or PRAM on your Mac - Apple Support

(get at least two-three rounds of the chimes when holding the NRAM Reset)



and Try resetting the SMC How to reset the SMC of your Mac - Apple Support see the details.
