Check if lag decreases with a new mouse
Check if lag decreases with a new mouse
I've just purchased the
Amazon Basics
black mouse and although I am aware that it is a cheap mouse I still need to make sure that the fault and cause is the mouse and not me or my PC.
When I move the mouse it feels like there is input lag. I drag the mouse and it feels like it drags behind. Like, it tries to catch up with my hand movement. What could be the cause and issue?
Update your post to contain detailed hardware specifications and operating system information.
Check the system in Task Manager and Resource Monitor to assess performance.
Use each tool individually, keeping only one open at a time.
Power on the device, launch the application, and observe for an extended period.
Eventually the system should stabilize with minimal changes.
Keep the tool window active while monitoring.
Interact with the mouse as usual, watching for any variations in input delay.
Test with a different brand or model of mouse to see if lag occurs.
Also test on another functional PC without mouse issues.
Identify whether the lag persists on your machine or moves with the mouse.
