The port has been there for nearly a decade.

    I tried to use the MacOS. There seems like there is an intentional input lag. It’s slight but it just feels slower.

    Go into the mouse settings increase the tracking speed. It’s the first thing I do on every Mac because otherwise it feels slow.

    It won’t let me plug in 3 monitors. And even with just 2 connected, when I’m working on a secondary screen it blurs my clock on the primary screen.

    I’ve got three monitors on my Mac right now and none of the menu bars are blurred out. I don’t know what you’re doing wrong here.

      It’s not really the tracking speed but there is sort of a smoothing thing turned on. Just seems less crisp when moving the mouse around.

      It won’t let me plug in 2 external monitors. Just 1 extra one. Probably have an older Mac.

        I have the exact same issue on my MacBook that doesn’t happen when I’m using the trackpad. Using a secondhand magic mouse or a surface arc mouse and it’s extremely delayed. I know the Microsoft mouse connects through Bluetooth, but wow is it bad.

        The latency combined with the weird mouse smoothing and acceleration that you can’t disable made me give up using a mouse and just locked me to using the trackpad

          Dude, that’s exactly what I mean. I’m using a gen 2 mighty mouse and it was basically useless.

      Maybe they need to be using a higher tier chip to support a monitor that big at that refresh rate? Like Apple treats it as two external monitors under the hood or something so they need to be on a Pro or Max chip?
