I am at the point where i have no idea what i should do anymore. I have restored my pc/ cleaned the drives multiple times. I have recently just cleaned out all the dust and removed then reapplied the thermal paste on the cpu. I have recently upgraded my graphics card to a Asus Geforce GTX 1080ti FE. I have changed out 3 mice all with different kinds of software. I have installed all different types of drivers to fix this problem and as everything visually looks great, i consistently get frame drop spikes and on most of my pc games, (Fallout 4, Dead Space, Alien Isolation, Pubg, R6 Siege, ect...) I get terrible mouse lag to the point where it is unplayable. I'm hoping someone can help me figure out my problem. Thanks

Are you playing online with a wireless adapter by any chance?

If so, either use an Ethernet cable or a pair of good AV2-1000/1200 powerline adapters because the problem is connection lag.

I am currently using a 100ft ethernet cbl to reach my router. i experience these issues offline and on singleplayer games as well.

Sorry to hear that but good news on the cable.

Unfortunately, that mouse has a history of driver issues that were supposed to be fixed by mid 2017 by installing the latest Engine and a Windows update, so insure that both of those got done. Also I would try some different surfaces to see if that helps, and avoid glass and white.

If those don't work for you I would try to return it as defective and try a different brand yet again.
