I'm the opposite. I recently bought a MacBook pro and the latency of my mouse is so nauseating that I still use my old linux laptop for work.



Not sure if you really do mean latency, or the much more subjective-and-common complaint about the acceleration curve.

If you mean the latter, there are ways to customize that to be more like other desktop environments (sorry for not linking anything, currently on mobile and I don’t have time now to vet search results, but there are built in CLI settings which should be pretty easy to find).

Mostly commenting in case the above leads in a helpful direction, but if you actually mean latency of trackpad input apart from the acceleration curve, I’m wildly curious to hear more about what you’re experiencing and expecting otherwise!


Acceleration was my first thought as well. But I turned that off with some command I found online.

I'm not talking about the track pad (although that has quite a lot of latency as well). I'm talking about a mouse.


Is your mouse wireless?

I have no perceptible latency (and I game) on my M1 Pro MacBook with a wired mouse.


Yes it's wireless. The same mouse in windows or Linux is night and day though.
