Mavericks -- Bluetooth Mouse Freezes

I downloaded and installed Mavericks last night. All day today I've been getting temporary freezes. They usually happen when I click from one app to another. They've been happening every few minutes, but it varies.

The freezes last for 10 seconds, every time. I can see background activity proceeds while my mouse refuses to move.

Well, I discovered that the problem goes away if I turn off my Bluetooth Magic Mouse and use a wired mouse. I checked another BT mouse and also the trackpad. They all cause these freezes.

I don't see the "Disconnected" or "Connected" graphics that happen when I turn the mouse on and off.

I have a Logitech BT keyboard; that doesn't seem to cause any problems.

Didn't have this problem until I installed Mavericks.

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9), Thunderbolt display. 16GB ram

Uninstalling the Logitech Control Center might be overkill. This issue went away for me when I got rid of any custom settings (see the greyed out dropdown menu titled "Global Settings" in the attached image).

Previous I had settings on a per-program basis. Deleting each of those seems to have solved the problem. And it did seem like the issue occurred when I initally switched over to the program that had a custom mouse setting.

Good luck everyone else. Hope that helps!

Hey guys!

The problem is with logitech's control center. I reinstalled mavericks thinking it was a bad install. Well at first I didnt install logitech control center because my keyboard and mouse were working fine. I have a dinovo edge for the mac. Some of the functions of the keyboard were not working ie the dimmer for the screen so i installed the software from logitech. BOOM! The problem of my screen freezing for 10 seconds came back. I quickly uninstalled the logitech software and things are back to normal. I do not recommend installing this software until logitech finds a fix for it. FYI the uninstall is under applications, utilities, and then lcc or something. Hope that helps!
