5 minutes using 2 x GT120's and I see no mouse lag!
I should have kept my Radeon 5770 Mac Edition, but I sold it in favor of a PC edition 7950. I didn't modify the resistor, so it wasn't running 5.0 GT/s, but this is troubling indeed!
The problem shows itself with the 5770, 5870, 7950 & 7970. As I see it, it's an issue with Yosemite vs. AMD. I was already having this problem & it was the reason for my upgrade. Of course now I no it didn't help, but that's the way it goes. I expect the problem will be remedied in time, but it's a bad time for us cMP/AMD GPU users.
I have the 27" iMac shown below and I've also been experiencing this. It first happened a few weeks ago, just a couple of days after a clean install of 10.10.3. It only seemed to be happening when I was using Chrome but I've seen other people say it's happened when using only Safari. A few days after it first started bugging me there was the graphics update to 10.10.3 and my iMac was one of the models that got it. I figured this must contain a fix but after a day or so the issue was back.
I tried all the typical things like resetting SMC/PRAM, un-pairing the Magic Mouse and keyboard, etc. but after a few days/hours it always seemed to come back. That said, I've not noticed this issue for about a week now and I'm not doing anything differently. I did notice that there was a Chrome update and I'd only ever seen this when using Chrome so this is either a coincidence or there were some issues with the previous version. I've also seen people mentioning it being Adobe-related but I have none of that on my system. I have Dropbox running and I know that can be a little CPU-hungry but it's very hard to believe it'd be so bad it'd cause actual cursor lag.
I'll report back if the issue returns but, as mentioned, it's been a while now since I've seen it. Let's hope Apple treat the next OS X like they're treating the next iOS in that it'll be more of a performance update that'll fix a lot of long-standing issues. The last thing I want is major new features when basic things aren't working properly.

I have the same issue. Mouse cursor with Magic Mouse lags sometimes. MM is the only BT device that is paired with Mac. Using Mac Pro 5.1, GTX 680 Mac Edition, 4k 40" Philips via Display Port (60Hz). Yosemite 10.10.3.
Didn't notice the lag with 2560x1600 screen.. but at the time I had older version of Yosemite.

Trying one more thing: rebooted into recovery mode, repaired disk permissions and disk, then restarted and reenabled handoff. Will see how it goes.
I just got a new iMac retina. It came with the magic mouse and I bought a magic trackpad. Sometimes they lag so much. I connected my old apple wireless mouse (the white one with the ball) and it lagged like crazy. What is going on with this machine? I can't believe the bluetooth is so crappy.
Well this isn't exactly cursor lag, but I've had this issue whereby anytime I type into a webforms textbook, the cursor would stop reporting text to the screen every few characters and then burst them all out at once as if stored in a buffer.
I went out of town for a few days and my MP wasn't powered on, when I booted up upon returning home the problem was gone. Now I'm afraid to power it off again because the problem might come back. I had this happen once before where input wasn't lagging and I made the mistake of rebooting.
It's nice to see the screen update as fast as I can type again.

I've had this issue with my magic mouse for months now. I always thought it might be a kext issue as I'm on a hackintosh, but seeing this thread makes me think otherwise. I'm hoping it gets fixed in 10.10.5 or 10.11.
After using El Capitan for a while now I have to say there is still a slight cursor lag sometimes. But I only noticed it so far while using Chrome with a lot of tabs and downloading stuff through Chrome.
