I have posted here before in the Win 10 section and didn't have any luck. I believe the post was deleted as I cannot find it anymore.
long story short, I have a mouse issue. By mouse issue I mean that every single movement and interaction with the mouse is inconsistant, inaccurate and overall an absolute nightmare to use in any capacity.
regular desktop usage
gaming
browsing
the mouse movement is inconsistent everywhere in the PC from the time it is booted all the way to the windows shut down screen.
This issue has followed me through 2 operating systems 2 different builds and 10 years of gaming.
I wanted to make another post here to give all the hard evidence I have and maybe someone will see it and think of a possible reason as to what is causing this issue.
What I know for certain:
1. The mouse (any mice) function as intended. E.G. moving the cursor and the physical mouse is no issue and the mouse/mice are not faulty as I have tested about 7 of them.
2. The mouse feels good in both Linux EVEN WITH acceleration enabled AND after a fresh reinstall of windows 10 (but only for a couple hours).
3. This issue is not a placebo as I have had several people test their mice and my mouse on my PC ranging from regular gamers to casual pc users, all test subjects complained in some capacity about the mouse being "inconsistant, hard to use, and overall a really bad feeling" (If it was in my head I would've accepted it a long time ago and moved back to console for gaming. Believe me I wish it was.)
shortly after a reinstall though either a reboot, or a certain amount of time goes by. The system will freeze for about half a second barely noticable and then the input of the mouse will change. and it will stay that way no matter what.
Things that I have tested/changed:
full replacement of CPU, GPU, PSU, RAM, M/K, and MOBO
install/reinstall of all Windows/software drivers (Chipset, MEI, Graphics drivers, USB drivers)
My question among many, here is:
What could be causing the mouse to change after either: an unknown amount of time or a reboot after a fresh install of win 10?
For reference and clarification of the depth of this issue and the steps taken to alleviate it:
Ehance pointer percision is off
Gpu settings are stable
temperatures are nominal, never above 55c on either cpu or gpu while under load
All device manager drivers have been checked/reinstalled/updated
several different chipset versions were tested
entirety of the first pc was rebuilt, all parts replaced
All mice used and tested were tested on a control machine and behaved fine
power to and from system components is within regulation
elaborating on a point made above:
when loading into LinuxMint from a USB drive the mouse felt more responsive there even with high amounts of noticable acceleration than the mouse has felt on windows in the past 10 years, it was a night and day feeling.
I am out of options, thoughts and ideas
If anyone has any input at all I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you in advance
I do apologize for the long post, this issue has been a thorn in my side for so long that tons of data and information has been collected all in hope of resolving it.
