So I love the MX Master Series. I love it so much that I have 3 of them and yes I know I can use one mouse for 3 machines lol. Long story. But recently after reformatting my PC, the MX Master lags a ton. It used to lag only when I had a USB drive in the front IO port but now it lags all the time. Before I go waste money on a new mouse, how do I fix this extremely annoying issue? Thanks for any help!

is there some specific driver that needs to be installed?

That's what is a little confusing. I disabled the Intel Wireless Bluetooth driver because when I install that one, the Realtek Bluetooth Adapter stops working and so does the mouse even though it's connected by a unified adapter.

Try a different USB slot on the front IO. Could be the USB slot is bad.

 

Is it only one mouse that is lagging? Could be the adapter is bad.

I'll try that now. It's connected to the adapter extension and sitting right under my monitor but still lags. I'll see how it goes.

The unified adapter is different than the bluetooth connection, isn't it?  Looks like the mouse is connected via bluetooth, so maybe those 2 connections are stepping over each other.  Disable the MX Master 3 bluetooth, if you can.

Something interesting happened. I went and got another unified adapter and as soon as I plugged it in, everything came to life. Then I got a notification to update my mouse and keyboard which finished quickly and now everything is running smoothly. So I am guessing the unified adapter was faulty.

 

Thank you very much! 15 years later and y'all are STILL the go to for help.

I had the same problem, replaced my MX Master 2 with an MX Master 3 and have been experiencing some really bad lagginess wile browsing and playing games. However I have noticed that every USB port that I have tried with is was either blue or black but not the red that matches the color found inside the Bluetooth USB connector. I have one such red USB connector on my mother and when I inserted the Bluetooth receiver in it, all of the problems with lag disappeared immediately. Not all USB ports are the same it seems.

Color is coincidental in this case. You moved to a different usb controller on your machine. That appears to be what happened.

Might actually be the USB Controller drivers then and not the USB device itself.

      draw.io Desktop 30.2.6 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics. Generate diagrams from text descriptions using our smart templates. Diagram faster with keyboard shortcuts. draw.io Desktop 30.2.6 changelog: Uses electron 42.5.0 #2452 Updates to draw.io core 30.2.6.
