After playing for some time mouse feels sluggish.

[connorh01]

after I've been playing games for a long time (2 or so hours) my mouse feels sluggish. however it is only where i have been moving my mouse, the outskirts of the mouse mat and the other side (where my keyboard is) doesn't seem to get this effect and feels normal?
is it getting too hot because of friction?
any help would be much appreciated.

What mouse do you have?
if your house is at all dusty like mine, you need like an o ring pick or a toothpic to get in there and scrape the dust out. It gets stuck between the cut out for the mouse skates, and the mouse skate its self.

Now when you say sluggish... do you mean physically, or does it seem more like mouse lag on the monitor? Plug it into a friends computer see what it does.

I have a razer death adder elite, and i mean like physically, but its only after I've been playing for awhile, last night it happened, i left it for a hour or two had some food and watched TV then went back and it was fine again? that's why i think it may be getting warm due to friction.

I also have a deathadder elite... it picks up dust like crazy, and sometimes it picks up like thick particles and feels scratchy at times. That is weird though... I have a razer firefly hard mousemat... it doesn't warm up like that for me. I have never heard of that issue.
weird!

this may be a bit TMI but my wrists gets quite sweaty when playing so maybe this is the reason why?

 

[glytch5]

haha yeah probably. Try a different mouse pad, get another one and as soon as this happens switch it, or different mouse like I was saying.

 

[connorh01]

i think i may have a solution, just switch the mat around when it happens.

If you buy a hard surface mat, it will be easier to clean sweat off from, I love hard mats my self its all I ever use.

i love the control and precision a silk mat provides, i used to have a hard mat but didnt really like it

 

[glytch5]

thats too bad. Well man did you figure out your issue though?

 

[connorh01]

yeah, turning the mouse mat around seems to have done it, which is a small price to pay to fix it
