So last year sometime I got a Logitech M720 mouse which works flawlessly on other devices via Bluetooth and \ or the unifying receiver that it comes packaged with. I have it paired to a desktop, laptop and used to pair it to my Mac Mini via Bluetooth. It didn't work 100% at the time, but well enough that I couldn't really perceive a problem with it per se.
I then updated the Mac Mini to Monterey a few weeks after that released and then the fun began... the mouse started lagging constantly. Often had to be reset, unplugged, unpaired and so on. I followed many support articles' advice and reset the bluetooth module a few times - once again, repaired, restarted, unplugged, used different USB ports, changed mouse batteries, etc. and with no lasting solution I eventually decided to use a spare "unifying receiver" that came bundled with my wireless keyboard for the Mac Mini. Now it seems, that even the unifying receiver doesn't keep the mouse connected with the Logi Bolt options software showing that the mouse frequently disconnects which causes lag as well and sometimes to the point where the mouse no longer works at all and I have to use a wired mouse to work the computer until it has been rebooted.
The mouse works flawlessly on Windows devices via Bluetooth and both unifying receivers as well as iOS and iPadOS devices via Bluetooth... In the same location as where the Mac Mini is - so that should rule out any kind of WIFI or Bluetooth interference... unless the Mac Mini is just a lot more sensitive than any other Windows or iOS \ iPadOS device wrt the mouse's wireless signal. Interestingly enough, my Logitech Wireless keyboard stays connected to the the Mac Mini without any issues (tested with Bluetooth as well as the receiver). It only seems to have problems with keeping the mouse connected?
