Mac min 4 - my usb logitech keyboard not responsive. it types then no response for 20sec then comes back

Bough mac mini 4 2 days ago and bought a ubs-c hub to connect my wired mouse and wireless logitech wvave 250 keyboard. After ever key stroke there is a delay and some i can type two word then i cant type for 20sec.

i have xcode running and visual code. 2 browse instance running. 9gb /16gb memory used.

what is causing keyboard slow response. I want to find people having any issue.

I see it google search past mac minis has some problem with keyboard.

Keyboard is basic. Can someone explain me what is going on?

I called apple tech support , they are not enthusiastic.I probably gona return because if i cant type then its trash for me.

Also apple dont have good support to sort out issue. He said no one complained about it so we wont be looking at your complaints. What the ****.

Mac mini, macOS 15.1

What USB-C to USB hub do you have..?

Try plugging the Logitech Unified Receiver into the front of the Mac mini using a USB-C to USB-A adapter.

for some examples:

If the Logitech Keyboards Unified Receiver is plugged into a high speed hub or next to other high speed USB cables and devices, then it could be suffering from Interference from those other USB devices.

see > Resolve Wi-Fi and Bluetooth issues caused by wireless interference - Apple Support

Again try plugging the Logitech Keyboards Unified Receiver into one of the M4 Mac mini's front ports using one of the USB-C to USB adapters that I suggested above.
