MBA M2 base model - mouse lag on external display

Are you still experiencing this issue?

I had something similar happen but with a newer Mouse and newer display Dell S2722

I recently bought the new Logitech MX Master 3S for Mac. Wanted that model as it didn't have a Bluetooth receiver dongle, and worked natively with the Mac. But the cursor lag was atrocious. As a designer, there was no way I could work with it. This was with Monterey. I sent it back, and went back to my trusty decade old Logitech G400 wired mouse.

But I started noticing that it too now had lag (though not as much)! However, it was only associated with my external display as using the mouse with my MacBook Pro 14 M1 was smooth. I was thinking it may have had something to do with newer Logitech drivers/software which I had removed, but I hadn't restarted my computer for changes to take effect. Doing so solved the issue.

There also can sometimes be conflicts with drivers or screen refresh rate. Your lower monitor at 30Hz may cause an issue.

Change mouse tracking, double-click, and scrolling speed on Mac

To work more comfortably, change the way your mouse responds as you move it. A wireless mouse must be connected with your Mac to make the changes below.

Change mouse tracking speed

1. On your Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Settings, then click Mouse  in the sidebar. (You may need to scroll down.)

2. Drag the slider next to Tracking speed on the right to adjust how fast the pointer moves when you drag the mouse.

Tip: As you adjust the slider, try moving your mouse to see the effect of your changes.

Take care!
