First of all I'm on a MacBook Pro (Base hardware, i5/4gb...etc)
I thought i was having major lag issues with Minecraft due to the fact that I switched to mac, turns out it wasn't that. I turned the settings down to low and it was playable.
Still i was thinking it was my laptop and something to do with hardware, not being able to keep up or something didn't have enough ram allocated.
I got tired of running on low settings, to google and youtube i went to find solutions. First solution i found was to fix Java and allocate more ram to that, i did and didn't see much improvement.
Cause i never ever use my track pad i decided to try and walk around on Minecraft and i was doing it lag free, then i went quickly over to my wireless mouse and its laggy when i look around and move.
The mouse is absolutely fine, no jumping/freezing when outside of Minecraft. But when I'm playing Minecraft or when its open, minimized, my mouse jumps and lags a lot.
I've done countless searches and found nothing relevant to my situation, on mac.
(Mouse is a Logitech Anywhere Mouse MX)
I normally don't ask for help for anything. But in this case being a newbie to mac, i need help haha.
I would appreciate any help, regardless if it fixes the issue or gets me a step closer, something to help me play Minecraft lag free.
I'm quite positive it is. I can move around with absolutely no lag when using my trackpad but when i try and do it with my mouse it lags, jumps and skips...etc
Mouse also does it outside of minecraft when minecraft is minimized.
Also i tried to add optifine but i wasn't able to get minecraft to launch once i did it. Unless i did it the wrong way (Unzip minecraft.jar to a folder, remove minecraft.jar, rename folder that the .jar was extracted to, to minecraft.jar, removed meta inf and copy files from optifine to the bin or whatever) And when i re opened minecraft it was just a black screen, assuming i did it wrong i reverted the changes.
The mouse shouldn't do it.
Try installing Optifine, see if that fixes it.
This is the unmodified client tech support forum, and you want him to install a mod to try to fix the problem?
no offense intended, but that's kinda backwards.
As for the OP's problem, We need to know what you mean by "Laggy". Is the mouse movement stuttered, is the screen updating slower, or are you actually getting internet latency (actual lag) when you use it?

Probably a version mismatch, make sure the versions match.

If you don't think that applies to you, Steam has some info on wireless mice issues: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=5365-RXBN-5508#wireless
Another suggestion from the WoW forum is to use a USB extender cable to get the USB dongle away from your computer case
