Hello again so i recently upgraded my mouse, keyboard and monitor, and ever since then my mouse is either extremely fast or to slow, i'll post what i upgraded from below after pc specs.

Pc specs are:
Ryzen 5800X3D
asus rog strix B550 mobo
4070ti super
thermaltake gf3 850 gold psu
drives are mushkin 5400 speed OS 1 tb drive, 7400 speed 2 tb game drive
3600 cl 16 ram by mushkin
arctic freezer 2 360 aio
lian li fans
nzxt h7 flow case

Upgrades:
Upgraded from a logitech gpro superlite 1 to a logitech gpro superlite 2 (superlite1 is 1000 polling superlite 2 is up to 4000 hrtz)
swapped out my asus tuf 1440 p 144 hrtz 27" monitor for an alienware 27" 280 hrtz 1440p monitor ( asus is now my secondary monitor )
keyboard upgraded from steelseries pro tkl( old model) to 2023 version of steelseries pro tkl with magnetic switches.

every since i upgraded it feels like my mouse is not correctly set up but ive checked it with the web mouse-sensitivity website and also the program called mouse movement recorder , in cod with my asus monitor and my superlite 1 on 1600 dpi and 3 in game sense everything was extremely fluid but not anymore even on that mouse it feels way to fast but vertical feels slow , it takes me about 4" to do a 360 where my old mouse it took me about 8" BUT if i turn the settings down by say just one it makes the mouse feel extremely slow, in windows alone the mouse is great ( have to turn it down) i have tried using 1000 hrtz all the way to 4000hrtz i know the higher the hrtz the faster as far as precision but it didnt make a change .

i dont know how to explain it , but theres no happy medium and sometimes it feels like the mouse "floats" like the cursor doesnt track with the mouse
windows settings are 6/11 or 10/20
no acceleration enabled in windows or in the game.
in ghub i have lift off distance set to low in advanced options (no idea what that even is)
and i have gaming surface enabled (tried on/off/auto)
mousepad is corsair XXL
is it just all the things i upgraded at once where i have to get used to it or is there a secret setting im missing somewhere ?
windows scaling is 100%

i can play any other game fine but not cod my aim is horrific compared to my old stuff before upgrading. as i Said i dont know how to word it very well so sorry if i confused people.

is it a setting or is it me ?

Could be mice issue.

You say you upgraded to Superlite 2, but what would stop you to hook Superlite 1 back to the PC, to see if it makes a diff?

i have tried using 1000 hrtz all the way to 4000hrtz i know the higher the hrtz the faster as far as precision
Mice polling rate is to do with latency. Higher the polling rate - lower the latency. But that has 0 to do with DPI (aka how fast the cursor moves on screen).

in cod with my asus monitor and my superlite 1 on 1600 dpi and 3 in game sense everything was extremely fluid but not anymore even on that mouse it feels way to fast but vertical feels slow , it takes me about 4" to do a 360 where my old mouse it took me about 8"
Could be me, but 1600 DPI is too low for me. For my normal day-to-day tasks, i'm using 3000 DPI. Though, in few games, where i feel that i need to move the mouse way too much (e.g FS19), i've increased it to 6000 DPI. And i often use 400 DPI as well, for very accurate movements.
Oh, i'm using Corsair Nightsword RGB mice (specs) with 1000 Hz polling rate and it's DPI range is 100 to 18.000, which i can define by the increments of 1.
But enough of me.

I suggest that you try with your old mice and look if it goes back to normal. If it does, there's no point using Superlite 2. Just because Superlite 2 is newer, doesn't mean it is better.
Also, it wouldn't hurt trying completely different mice. Now, i can't tell if e.g Corsair Nightsword RGB would be something that would suit you as well, since choosing a mice is personal choice, according to personal needs. But i've seen many times companies making successor hardware far worse than the predecessor was.

Oh, for gaming, i'd actually suggest wired mice. Since wireless mice have to deal with wi-fi cutouts and internal battery that can run out on critical moment.
