At least, I think it's input lag. It's slight enough that it's hard to tell, but still noticeable and gives my mouse movement a "floaty" feeling. One day everything was perfectly fine; the next, not so much.
At first I thought my G Pro Wireless was giving up the proverbial ghost, as I've had it for 1-2 years now. I had just purchased a new Deathadder v2, so I plugged that in, expecting my problems to resolve. No dice. I tried wired vs. wireless, which didn't appear to make much of a difference. I tried checking motherboard connections and rolling back Windows updates, with a similar lack of effect. And yes, I tried different USB ports, but this is where it gets weird.
I first assumed that the front ports on my PC (where I normally plug my wireless adapters, because closer to mouse = better) were going faulty. After plugging the adapter in the back of my PC, directly into the motherboard, the issue seemed resolved! The floaty feeling seemed mostly gone, but then, bam! My mouse would now periodically freeze/hitch, which is even worse.
A final note, these issues seem only observable while playing games or launching programs. Any insight or guesses would be appreciated, and have detailed my specs below. PC is a little over two years old.
