Mac Mini M4 Mouse lag using Logitech MK470 Mouse Keyboard combo

Just got my Mac Mini M4. Love it. I am using a Logitech keyboard with USB dongle rather than Bluetooth or Apple keyboard. I have notice sometimes there is a lag in the mouse movements like it’s frozen and I have to move it around to find it again. I had thought it was due to me running UTM but even when the program is closed I run into the same issue.

The keyboard works fine without a lag. I like this keyboard, even though it’s a windows keyboard but I’ve adapted.

Mac mini (M4)

The reason for bringing the Logitech dongle up front, is to eliminate interference from USB drives, devices and cables.

see > Resolve Wi-Fi and Bluetooth issues caused by wireless interference - Apple Support

Again get a USB-C to USB-A adapter and plug the Logitech dongle into one of the Mac mini front ports.

The dongle is usb A so I have it going to the hub connected to the rear usb c ports.

I’ll try it without a hub and direct and see.

However I don’t see why it would matter unless the Anker USB hub is the issue ?

Test the Logitech USB dongle in one of the Mac mini's front USB-C ports.

If you need a USB-C to USB-A adapter to do that...
