Beta 11.2 and now regular release completely solved the issue for me. Even with multiple peripherals plugged into the various mini ports. Zero dropouts.

Just wish HomePod mini connection was more reliable and instant -- but that's not bluetooth issue.

11.2 unfortunately did not solve my Bluetooth issues on MBP. iPhone is also iOS 14.4.
As I say some days are good where Bluetooth is flawless then I got those days when my mouse jumps around and music skips. That is when I hardwired everything.

MX Master 3 with MBA M1 still lagging. I just gave up and use the receiver. Even with the receiver, the mouse works so much better on my PC
Is it possible that it's Logi Options causing the lag? It's still not native to M1. My M1 MBA won't have the customised settings applied unless I open Logi Option manually after boot.

No, Logi Options works just fine.
Which Logitech product(s) are you using? I have MX Master 3 and MX Keys connected to my M1 MBA via BT. There are micro-stutters when moving mouse cursor or scrolling. I checked that all permissions required by Logi Options and the Daemon are allowed in System Preferences > Security & Privacy.

MX Master 2S and Logitech Craft. Micro stutters are a clear sign of 2.4GHz interference. I previously posted how to solve them.

Thank you. Are your customised settings automatically applied after boot without you opening the Logi Options manually?

Yes, everything works like on Intel Macs.
One thing that bothers me a lot is that, the fn key most of the time doesn’t work / has a few seconds delay. For example, when I press fn + volume down key, the desktop will be shown after 5 seconds or simply does not show up eventually. However, if I just press volume down key, the system responds as it supposes to

I have mine plugged into a Thunderbolt dock thats two feet away from my computer and still causing issues? That cant be caused by interference unless the bluetooth Bose speaker is causing it. Keyboard is fine, but MX Master 3 is much less accurate compared to my PC.

Have MX Master 3 with MBA and it is working okay. Tried the receiver and no difference. But yes, it works much better on the XPS. I've always felt Macs do trackpads better because mice somehow seem to work better on PC

Oh ok interesting, that may be why I got rid of the magic mouse in 2013 and bought the trackpad.. I am using the 3M precision mouse pad to try to get the best outcome here but its just not that great. Have to reposition the cursor a lot and I switch between the the PC all day for work so I get a good idea on how great the mouse can be.

Bluetooth interference (and 2.4GHz in general) can be caused by all kinds of stuff including USB 3. Logitech Unifying actually is extremely sensitive to USB 3.

So your saying a usb 2.0 dongle attached to the dock? It works great on my pc connected to the dock.

This was just a general note. If it works fine on your PC the culprit obviously is something else. There doesn't seem to be a general issue with mouse smoothness tho. I don't feel a difference with my MX 2S between using it on Windows or macOS on the same PC nor between the PC and my M1 MBP.

So I just downloaded Steermouse and deleted logitech options and the cursor is finally where its supposed to be at. I increased the sensitivity and we are good to go finally.
