Logitech MX Master is lagging in Ubuntu, but not in OS X or Windows

I recently purchased a Logitech MX Master 2S, and have found that there is some mouse lag (input lag issues, and stuttering) on Ubuntu 18.04. I tried it on Windows and OS X to make sure that it wasn't a problem with the mouse, and it worked smoothly with no issues on both.

I tried installing solaar, but I am having issues opening it due to a bug that is supposedly fixed according to the github repo.

I am currently using the unifying receiver as I am not able to connect through bluetooth because when I try to pair, I get the error:

Setting up 'MX Master 2S' Failed

Let me if you guys know anything I could do.

EDIT: I fixed the bluetooth, but not the lag issues from the unifying receiver. For the bluetooth fix, I switched the mouse to another profile and configured the bluetooth on that new one.

I had this issue of a glitching mouse during usage. The mouse was connected via the Unify-dongle and it had connections problems leading to occasional reconnections when the dongle was placed near another used USB3 port. I stumbled over this post which explained that there was an issue with leaking USB3 frequencies interfering with the unify-dongle. My solution was simply to move the dongle further away from those leaking usb ports. Hope that helps.

I've connected mouse via provided unifying reveiver with help of this tool . It works without any lagging then.
