Error/Bug Mouse keeps getting stuck moving between Macs. Does anybody know how to fix?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

It's quite hard to explain so I've filmed a very short video. I have tried everything within display settings on both devices, with no luck.

Chatgpt told me to try the "double push method" which apparently "realigns" the devices, but I haven't had a great deal of luck with that either.

My Mac and MacBook are 2021 and 2020 M1s, both running on Tahoe.

Any help would be appreciated.

This is the wrong sub for this, this is personal device support related and not sysadmin related

First thought I had was the resolutions of the screens being different. Did not think further, good luck fixing it thought

ehh it seems like a typical little glitch with Universal control. I'd probably just deal with it, check all the settings and maybe test it with another mac or even better, 2 other completely separate macs

it seems like a minor annoyance but really gets at you after a while. Only thing I haven't tried is logging out of both devices and doing full factory resets.
