Mouse cursor feels like it's a few milliseconds later than my hand movement.

[Janesh]

Ive had this issue since February 2016. I reinstalled my windows because I wanted to do a clean install. Upon reinstall I notice that I have slight mouse input lag. Like I move my mouse fast, then stop it quickly, and it feels like the mouse is late on the movements. I play games competitively, and this has been a big problem for me. I have had this issue on Windows 10, and on multiple installs of Windows 7. It seriously pisses me off. Yesterday I installed 2012 drivers for Realtek high definition audio (version 2.70) because I read a lot about people having problems with Realtek drivers. and guess what? The issue was gone like poof! I was so happy... But upon reboot, the issue was back! It like reinstalled the new audio drivers. So I turned off automatic drivers install in Windows, and reinstalled the 2.70 version again. The issue is still there!
I just really want to get this out of the way because I cannot get used to it and i cant use my pc as efficiently as before. Keep in mind that before I clean installed in February everything was great. Please help me get rid of this issue as it's driving me nuts. My PC specs are:

Asus L8Z77-v LX mobo
Asus GTX 680 DirectCUII Top
Intel Core I7 3770K
16 Gb HyperX Genesis Ram

Tried this with 3 mice, issue is there with all of them.

Thank you in advance. I'll try to respond ASAP.

Hi Janesh,

It seems like Windows issue so try go to Settings -> Devices -> Mouse & Touchpad and change "Scroll Inactive" to ON/OFF. Switch it a few times and check if it works properly on one of option.

Or second solution could be that some software is "blocking" your mouse. Like in this video.

Cheers,
Dave.

Hi Dave, Sorry for the long wait, I was at school and my phone battery died. So. I am actually on windows 7 x64 right now. But I recall turning it off when I was using Windows 10 and I felt no change. The issue was still there. As I said when I installed an older version Realtek High Definition audio driver version 2.70 the mouse movement was great and very responsive and then after reboot the issue was back. Now I installed This driver again to no success.

Tried that. Didn't help. 🙁 I dont have any processes that can hinder my mouse movement on. Could this be a hardware issue?

 

[Janesh]

I'll come back home and check it on another pc, will write back asap

I also have 2 HID mice AND my Logitech G400 in the device manager. Could that be the issue? Or is that normal?

 

[Janesh]

I also suspect that it might be just my brain, thinking there is something wrong. But I don't feel like it because as I said, when I reinstalled the Realtek driver the mouse movement felt on point

Mouse works perfect on another system D:

Could it be that I changed the cord on my Logitech G400 as it was rapidly turning on or off, also my mouse smells like the inside plates burned down. Could it be? 😀

I only have this mouse at the moment, should I buy another one?
