Nightly restart

[omeletpants]

A couple of time a week, my Logitech mouse gets a little buggy. I can easily fix this by restarting the computer. So I went into preferences and set up a schedule to reboot at 3am every day. I normal try not to reboot the computer unless necessary. Anyone see any issues in doing this?

I have a Logitech M220 connected to my Mac Mini. Never had any issues.
What's your Apple machine model? What OS are you running? If you have a wireless mouse, check also the battery level.

While it shouldn’t be necessary to restart for the mouse to function properly, if it works to resolve your issue then let it do it’s thing. Restarting won’t cause any problems of its own. Apple built the scheduled start up/shutdown feature in for a reason, which is to be used as necessary.

Though if you want to find the root cause, more info might be helpful as Andrea mentioned. Is it a wireless mouse, and if so does it use Bluetooth or a USB receiver?

It's a M535 bluetooth on a 2020 intel 27"

So Intel machine. What OS run? Have you checked M535 battery?

What happens?

If you're happy restarting once a day, then I can't see any particular consequences unless you'd prefer to be running something uninterrupted through the night, or something. (If I had a device that misbehaved so regularly that restarting once a day was the best solution I could find, I would consider that an issue and continue to investigate the buggy behaviour.)

On Monterey you can have bluetooth issues and generally problems with peripheral devices.
Make sure to run the latest release available to fix the bugs.

What happens?

slow scrolling and I use the MOS mouse app for smooth scrolling

1. Does the problem occur when logged in as a test user?
2. Does the problem occur when booted in Safe Mode?
3. Try disconnecting everything from the computer except for the mouse. Does the problem occur?

I'm not on Monterey yet, but have no problems using a Mx Master 3 with the dongle.
