I've had no issues for some time, the first release I was on was a bit wonky, but nothing since that one. Of course I did adjust my setting to the way I like it, but it is awesome. so I'm just guessing here, but I'd say.....NO
Got a tip for us?

I would never us a Magic Mouse for gaming, Apple doesn't allow you to adjust DPI sensitivity, Using a LogicTech G502 Hero is way better and the GHub software is working with this 12.5. beta 1 just fine.
Well, to be fair, a lot of people would never use a Mac for gaming, so...
I am using a M1 24" iMac and 2016 M1 Max MBP and not having a lot of issues, and would never go back to using old 11.6.6 over the current 12.4 and newer. While I don't use external displays, everything else I am using is good for now.
Try using a Magic Mouse to scroll vertically, on the G502 you can spin the middle click easily to navigate long web pages of content. I only use Magic Mouse as a fallback.

Catalina
10.15.5 (May 2020)

Big Sur

11.5 (July 2021)
11.6 (September 2021)
If history is anything to go by, perhaps we'll get 12.5 in July, and maybe even 12.6 in September. I don't know why a lot of people are acting like Monterey development is done now...there's six more months to go until macOS 13 is actually released.
I’ve been a little out of the loop. Did 12.4 basically kill the drama around memory leaks and 120hz?
I have the problem that the dock bar takes 2 minutes to load again after a reboot. Anyone else experiencing this problem?
While I don’t disagree that the constant flow of updates probably doesn’t help, a bug free operating system just doesn’t exist.
Even when Apple launched 10.5 Leopard 30 months after 10.4 it still had bugs, and features that would be changed in later updates.
They could wait a decade between updates to try to iron out absolutely everything, and the second it hits the public it could be found to be quite buggy.
Also everyone’s experiences are completely differently, bugs don’t treat all computers the same
Personally the only bug with Monterey I’ve had is the battery menu in the system preferences randomly resetting to system defaults, and that’s literally it.
To me it’s just as stable as any previous version of macOS I’ve used.
And then there are people who swear it’s the worst piece of software they’ve ever touched, and you can’t even launch an application without seeing 20 simultaneous bugs at the same time.
I'm not arguing with you, I'm just saying, asserting that the Magic Mouse is bad for gaming is a bit like asserting that a bus is bad for drag racing. Personally, I use a Magic Trackpad when I'm not using an MBP, and I play games on a PS5, because it's well suited for gaming.Try using a Magic Mouse to scroll vertically, on the G502 you can spin the middle click easily to navigate long web pages of content. I only use Magic Mouse as a fallback.
And while I don’t want to sound like I’m bashing Tim Cook, this relentless annual release schedule is really not sustainable or even all that wise, but there’s no convincing Tim otherwise. At least not for the iPhone. Apple is terrified of the day when people slow down or stop upgrading their iPhones. The day that happens, Apple (Tim) knows they are in big trouble. But that should be obvious to anyone here paying attention for the last few years.
A release to the public is just the end of that 12.4 beta cycle, the current beta cycle is 12.5, I am sure they have a 12.6 in house they are working on also, besides in house version of MacOS 13 Mammoth.
It's highly doubtful that Apple will settle on an extinct mammal as the name of its macOS (yes, I know it's from Mammoth Lakes). It's also highly unlikely that Apple will call something mammoth without actually having something mammoth in store for us. Given that it took Federighi's team so long to bring Universal Control into fruition and the whole thing with CSAM, he probably wouldn't mind a less eventful 2022-2023 software-wise. In short, macOS 13, in all likelihood, won't be called Mammoth.
Monterey was suppose to be less underlying changes, more refining, not quite as major as Big Sur support of AS based Macs. Internally MacOS 13 is referred to as Rome, why would they give it that naming if things weren't expanding its capabilities. So if MacOS13 represent as much changes as Big Sur, Mammoth which is a registered name by Apple for a OS like Monterey, will not be about a big extinct elephant, more like something that is really cool and can shake up things a lot.

Opps - I read that after I accidentally hit the send. I tossed what I started with to answer you.
They’ve all been a hot mess. This annual major release schedule is ludicrous.
I use mine for gaming…via steam in home streaming and wired Ethernet ?
Some more than others.
Also I like your signature. Not every Apple computer is best for everyone and it can't suit everyone but it may be best for you or me and meet our needs and wants perfectly.
