I've been using a Logitech MX Master 3S mouse over Bluetooth with no problems on Monterey, but ever since upgrading to Ventura it's become a lot more flakey. Even just moving the mouse around sometimes seem to be a bit laggy. Has anyone else experienced this since upgrading to Ventura?
Got a tip for us?

Ventura bluetooth issues with Logitech MX Master 3S mouse?

I'm using the small dongle with MX master 3. With Montery, the connection to both wired keyboard and mouse could be cut off randomly. I had to reconnect my TB3 dock to recover. With Ventura, I haven't seen any disconnect so far (upgraded last Monday when Ventura GA was released).
So perhaps you can try the dongle.

No issues with mine here on Bluetooth, and Im on the 2018 Mini with the supposed terrible BT and wifi. Don't even know where I put the dongle, never had an issue and needed it. Have the Mac as comp #1 and my work Surface as #2 and go back and forth all day long between the two with the Master 3S and the matching MX Keys.

I am having the same issue after upgrading to Ventura. I have a Mac Studio, how do I reset Bluetooth?
It's a terminal command I found here https://9to5mac.com/2022/10/13/how-to-fix-mac-bluetooth-issues/
The command is: `sudo pkill bluetoothd`
This solved my issue thank you. It seems to revert to the problem again after the Mac goes to sleep.
There is definitely a bug.

Yup, definitely seems to be an issue right after waking my Mac from sleep. I wonder if it's something that can be fixed by a Logitech software update or if it needs a macOS update. Unfortunately, my gut feeling is that this issue will be with us a while.
I use the dongle and have had no problems, I avoid bluetooth whenever I can, I find that it drops connections, won't connect, etc. I just plug the Logitech dongle in the back of one of my monitors and forget about it.
Thats exactly why I got the PC version of the mouse, it actually came with the dongle. Other than that, both are exactly the same.
Now the MX Keys IS different in that it has the Command and Option keys printed instead of Windows and Alt, but otherwise, that one's EXACTLY the same as well with one other exception.. The Mac version of the devices usually doesn't show up in Logitechs firmware updater.. My MX Keys gets it, but the mouse isn't supported so the Mac versions likely dont get FW updates if/when the Windows versions do..

Last week I upgraded to Ventura. Now my Apple Keyboard and Mouse disconnect often after waking up from sleep.
There used to be a menu item to "Reset Bluetooth Module" in the menu bar. Is that gone now?
Killing the bluetoothd process didn't do it for me.

I have the MX Mechanical Mini and the 3S, I've found the best solution for me was the mouse over bluetooth, and the keyboard with their Logi Bolt Receiver plugged into my doc. Have you tried using the Logi Bolt Receiver?
Yes unfortunately that menu was removed in Monterey. Apparently killing bluetoothd was equivalent to that menu though.
Nice! I hope there's an eventual fix that doesn't rely on upgrading to an M2 😅
I actually ended up switching back to my Magic Mouse and it's been a lot better reliability-wise. I get some cursor lag every now and then (which I never had in Monterey) but seems smoother than the MX Master 3S.
Same problems here with that trash os. Mx master 3. My satechi keyboard doesn't work wireless, only with cable usb-c.
