I've had my gaming mouse (Razer Deathadder 2013) in the USB 3.0 port, as well as my Corsair K70, since I built my PC last year. Recently I've been reading people advising against gaming peripherals in USB 3.0, even the native ones. When I uninstall my USB 3.0 drivers/plug my peripherals into USB 2.0, my mouse feels a lot slower. Shouldn't it feel the same regardless of USB 2.0 or 3.0?
 


Lol a mouse is really basic hardware, I think it should be the same on USB 3.0, 2.0 or even PS/2.
 

Honestly, it's completely different. Even if I keep the mouse in 3.0 port, and install USB 3.0 drivers through Device Manager instead, it runs different. It feels much more sensitive in USB 3.0, switching to 2.0 would require me to up my sensitivity.
