Issue with mouse behavior after each PC restart.
Issue with mouse behavior after each PC restart.
I’m seeking some guidance.
Each time I power on my PC, the mouse behaves unpredictably—sometimes it’s consistent for a few boots, then changes after the fifth one.
It can feel extremely responsive (like gliding on ice) or, conversely, very slow and sluggish.
There’s no noticeable acceleration at all.
I’ve been trying online for about 11 to 12 months without success.
I’ve replaced the motherboard, CPU, RAM, and nearly everything else in my PC except the power supply and graphics card. I also swapped out four mice, two keyboards, and multiple mousepads, but nothing resolved the issue.
The problem started roughly a year ago with my Logitech G Pro wireless mouse after a Windows update.
At that time, I was using 400DPI with onboard memory, 144Hz display settings, single monitor—everything worked perfectly.
About three months later, after purchasing from Razer, the issue resurfaced, severely impacting my gaming performance.
Since then, I’ve only used wireless mice and have noticed a sudden jump in speed (almost like skating on ice).
This made it difficult for me to play competitively, affecting my personal life as it was my main source of income.
I’ve moved my home twice in an attempt to see if the problem would resolve itself, but nothing has changed.
I can recreate the issue by disabling the keyboard mouse driver in Device Manager, which makes the sensitivity feel like it’s on ice.
However, this effect usually lasts only a short time—sometimes just an hour or a day—until the next boot.
Each time I restart, I’m unsure what sensitivity will be active and how long it will last; sometimes it changes mid-session.
Over the past 11 to 12 months, I’ve read everything online and used chatGPT for advice, but I still can’t figure out why.
I’m puzzled by the fact that removing the mouse driver in the keyboard section of Device Manager seems to alter the sensitivity and also increases speed.
Additionally, I’ve replaced all my electrical cords.
Hardware:
- Mouse: TUF GAMING B650M-E WIFI
- GPU: Nvidia GeForce 2070 Super
- Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D (8-core, 4201 MHz)
- RAM: 32 GB DDR5
- Storage: NVMe 2TB and 1TB SSD
- Operating System: Windows 11 (also tried Windows 10)
I’ve also switched internet connections via Ethernet (for backup).

CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 Chromax Black
Despite updating all components and drivers, the problem continues—even in Safe Mode.
I’m open to any suggestions or insights you might have.

Please list the specs to your build like so:

include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time. Considering this thread deals with your mouse, would be a good idea to mention the make and models of your peripherals and all other USB devices in case they're all hooked up to your PC. Mentioning the make and model of all parts swapped would also help us two fold. Perhaps list them as a before and after.
Windows 11, however it started back on win10, I have done a number of clean installs too.
Where did you source the installers for your OSes? Did you install the OS in offline mode? Installing the OS while all other storage drives except for the one you wished to install onto was removed from the build? Installing all necessary drivers in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator?
I replaced my old components to attempt a solution, switching from Intel to AMD and checking if that would resolve the problem:
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX CMK16GX4M2A2133C13R 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 Red
CPU: Intel Core i7 6700K
Motherboard: MSI Z170A-Gaming M5
GPU: MSI GEFORCE GTYX 980 TI 6GB
Monitor: AOC 27g2g4
Power Supply: Antec 900W HCD-900
Operating System: Windows 10
I was unfamiliar with the setup process. After years of owning the system and its software, I only acquired a new mouse recently. I simply connected it as any other device, installed the necessary drivers, and started using the software. After three months, problems emerged, prompting me to search online. Eventually, I upgraded to Windows 11 on my previous machine by purchasing the code directly from Microsoft and installing it normally, without modifying storage settings.
Once I received the new hardware, a professional helped me assemble the PC, ensuring everything was correctly installed. After a fresh installation using the same GPU and PSU as before, I returned to my motherboard site, updated the BIOS, and downloaded all required drivers via administrator privileges on the new build.
I then connected the new mouse (Sora V2), uploaded the firmware, and played for a short period—only downloading games to verify if the issue persisted. The problem reappeared after a few days, with sensitivity issues resurfacing.
After switching to a different mouse, Scyrox V8, the situation improved temporarily. However, over time I noticed the sensitivity fluctuating unpredictably between fast and slow, making it hard to identify the real setting. Eventually, I discovered that removing the mouse from the Keyboard Device Manager increased sensitivity by 100%. I experimented with different settings but was unable to resolve the issue permanently.
PSU: Antec 900W HCD-900 — do you really mean the HCG-900? That model was launched between 2011 and 2013, right? Are you still using it in your latest project? Besides that, your PSU has a lot of issues, as far as I know. I’d suggest starting fresh with a spare drive, then check if the problem improves. If your PSU is from that earlier range, you should replace it right away unless you’re okay with a completely new setup and the financial cost.
Before, I had no problems for over ten years; issues began only after purchasing the Logitech G Pro Wireless. All models now offer both wired and wireless options, but every mouse I’ve used has been wireless. The problem persists even with wired connections, though it’s unclear. I think I bought it in 2013 to fix this, but I didn’t notice any issues until recently. The problems started early in 2024 when I got that ultra-wireless mouse. What PSU should I choose? I plan to buy one tomorrow and start with a fresh SSD installation, or is the SSD just needed to be cleaned?
What PSU should I select for this setup? I plan to purchase one tomorrow. Where are you based? What is your budget for a PSU? Which store do you prefer for buying it? Does the SSD only need to be cleaned? If there’s nothing of value, then turn off all drives except the SSD, erase all partitions, and reinstall the OS in offline mode. I recommend rebuilding your bootable USB installer for the OS to ensure no hidden corruption exists and you have the most recent updates.

Umart, in Australia. I’m not entirely confident, but maybe around $200?
I plan to handle everything in the morning. I should also edit my post—I think the sensitivity changed after a Windows update, even though I’ve cleaned it several times since then.
Umart, in Australia. I’m not entirely confident, but maybe around $200? What are you thinking you’ll get after the RTX 2070 Super...? You might want to check this out:

But I’d suggest being patient until more people share their experiences and see if they find something better. You didn’t mention your case model or the cooling setup for the processor.
No problem at all, I’m also unsure about what I’ll need after the 2070s. It still runs every game at full settings, so I didn’t think about swapping it for this issue, but perhaps I should. My PC case and cooler are Corsair Graphite 760T White Full Tower Case, paired with a Noctua NH-D15 chromax.black CPU cooler.
