Bluetooth Magic Mouse lag / stutter .. , Apple Keyboard lag / stutter

Hello,

I recently installed fresh Yosemite OS X on my MacBook Pro, and I'm noticing a lag when I move the Magic Mouse or when I scroll up or down. With the Keyboard, sometimes I have to wait for half or a 1 second so the letters to be printed on the screen.

Did anyone faced the same issue ? I googled many forums and many people are facing the same issue even with upgrade from Mavericks to Yosemite.

Appreciate your help!

Thanks,

Joe

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2013), OS X Yosemite (10.10)

Thank you for posting your solution. It has helped for me. I have a MacBook Retina, 12", Early 2016 withSierra 10.12.3 and had the same problem. My mouse lag and stuttering is resolved simply by removing and reinstalling the same batteries in my keyboard. Thank you again!

Hello All,

Kindly update your OS X to 10.10.1 through App Store and the issue will be solved ! 🙂

I am running 10.10.1 and still the problem persists. Incredible how long it takes for apple to fix such a stupid bug, which actually means I now need to buy a wired mouse, as I cannot continue to use this laptop like this.

No issues with the iMac, this is just a problem on my MB PR 15" mid 2013. No issues before Yosemite. Becoming quite frustrating now waiting for a fix, hence finally posted on this forum.

I'm on 10.10.1 with the same lag/stutter issues with my Magic Mouse. No problems before the Yosemite upgrade.

I have the new update and the mouse problem is not fixed! Nightmare! Try working in photoshop for a living with a mouse that sputters and keeps losing connections!! Way to go Apple!

Already reseted SMC and the PRAM (NVRAM) and still have the same problem. Two months since Yosemite release and still no solution.

Way to go Apple and congrats for the quality control !!

Have you read this entire thread and tried all options including disabling handoff?

Dec 12, 2014 4:40 AM in response to serral

That's true!!!! I feel myself as a windows user (I was it in the past). It is not enough to close/open the lid, but I have to restart all time you want to use your BT devices... System slow down, and memory goes out very fast...

I've tried all advices from this site and from other too...

Poor Steve J. , if he would know about it...... 😟

Yes and yes and a couple of things more...

I've also read that reinstalling not always solves the problem 😟

Disappointed

Turning off iCloud / iOS Handoff seems to have resolved the issue for me. Thanks.

That worked for me. I'm ever so grateful. It was driving me nuts.

Mose lag seems to be a well known issue throughout the many evolutions of OSx

Yes, this worked great...thanks!

C'mon Apple fix this crap!

Just purchased two of these mice today ($143!!!!) and you'd think something this simple wouldn't be too hard for Apple to design and implement!

I'm seeing this too - resetting NVRAM and SMC fixes it for a while, but it comes back after my computer sleeps (and so do a lot of other horrible bugs, and don't get me started on that messy login screen). This is basic stuff - how can Apple let this stuff through their QC (if they have any for software). I used to love using Apple products. Now I'm nervous I'm going to run into the next show stopping software glitch.

Disabling handoff does nothing.

This is what it looks like at the peak, Apple.
