In my experience, this type of problem has always been either a low
battery in the mouse, or RF interference.
Try a wired mouse. If it still jerks then it is a computer/software
issue, if it works fine then it is likely an RF issue.

At this point it just has to be an RF problem. Unfortunately, I do not
have a wired mouse to test with, but I discovered something else that
sort of proves that it is RF interference: Both mice are Logitech M185
mice Part# 8100C5234, so I just turned off the one connected to the
laptop, et voilà! The mouse connected to the desktop started working
perfectly.
At least I have a temporary workaround, but now I need to figure out a
permanent solution. I already tried physically moving them, but
both mice need to be at hand while I am at my desk, so options are
limited and I already tried moving the receivers as far as I could
without success. Any other suggestions?
Did you just turn off the laptop mouse or also unplug the laptop
transceiver? This sounds like the desktop transceiver is connecting to
the laptop mouse as well as the desktop mouse.
I can't tell from the Logitech M185 product page if the nano transceiver
is one of the 'unified' types. Does is have an orange square pattern on
the transceiver?
Options:
1. If unified, see if you can find ltunify for your distro
https://lekensteyn.nl/logitech-unifying.html#ltunify
This may allow setting up the transceivers so that they only "see" one
particular mouse.
2. If not, you have 2 transceivers sending on the same 2.4GHz band. One
of the devices has to go. Try a different mouse make/model, or go wired
for the desktop
3. Build a small Faraday cage for the laptop. Unfortunately this is
also block network wifi (a security feature!).

I know that this comment is the essence of thread drift, but you need
to be careful with your titles. I've spent the evening being
distracted of thoughts of a mouse built out of thin sheets of dried,
smoked beef.
