Mouse randomly starts feeling delayed and Floaty
Mouse randomly starts feeling delayed and Floaty
Here’s a rewritten version of the text, aiming for clarity and flow while preserving the original information:
“I'm experiencing an unusual issue with my mouse. It intermittently feels unresponsive – not due to acceleration or a faulty mouse itself, as I’ve tested three different models. The problem manifests as a sensation where the cursor isn’t accurately tracking movements, sometimes feeling like it’s dragging through thick mud, and other times appearing floaty. This happens despite periods of normal functionality. I've eliminated potential software conflicts by removing the Realtek audio drivers, but the issue persists. My system specifications are: AMD Ryzen 3 2200G, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970, 8GB RAM, a 1TB HDD, and a 128GB SSD.”
That’s a fascinating problem! Let’s try to pinpoint the cause and resolve this delay.
First, let’s examine your system’s performance closely. Open Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) or Resource Monitor (search for “Resource Monitor”) and observe CPU usage, memory utilization, disk activity, and network traffic. Look for any processes consuming significant resources – especially those that might be updating, syncing data, or running in the background.
Specifically, I’m interested in identifying any apps attempting to connect to the internet – perhaps an email client, cloud storage service, or messaging app. Also, check for automatic updates running silently.
If you suspect a specific application is causing the issue, try closing it temporarily to see if that resolves the delay. If you have access to Process Explorer (a Microsoft tool), which can display detailed information about processes and their dependencies, it might reveal the culprit. However, you may need to download this from Microsoft's website.
Alternatively, consider restarting your computer – a simple reboot often clears up temporary glitches and frees up system resources.
By carefully monitoring these aspects of your system, you should be able to identify the root cause of the delay and take appropriate action.
Here’s a revised version of your text, focusing on clarity and removing redundancies:
“I have attempted to resolve this issue by restarting my computer three times. However, the problem persists, suggesting it may not be related to a background process. I believe a full system reinstall is necessary to address the root cause.”
Look in Reliability History and Event Viewer.
First to get a sense of the error codes, warnings, and informational events being logged therein.
And, secondly, to know how to go back and look again the next time you feel that loss of mouse control.
Likewise you can use Task Manager or Resource Monitor in the same manner. Ready to open and look....
With regards to the Windows reinstalls; does the mouse work normally at all after a reinstall? If so, block Windows updates for a few days. If no problems then let Windows update again. Determine if the problem returns.
The mouse seems to work fine in windows itself however as soon as i go in a game it feels weird and delayed, i have raw input on, also there is a yellow tringle next to my cpu cores in device manager with the message "
Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37)" i dont know if that might be the issue
Code 37.
Go to the following link: multiple possible fixes - some of which have been tried.

Do not do any registry edits. Registry editing is a last resort and only to be attempted if you are prepared to do a full system recovery.
Where multiple mice have had had the same problem then USB may be the source cause.
Here’s a rewritten version of the text, focusing on clarity and conciseness:
“I’m experiencing persistent issues with my computer – specifically, freezing during gameplay. I recently replaced a faulty motherboard after only two months, and despite troubleshooting including checking USB ports and front panel connections, the problem hasn't resolved itself. The issue appeared suddenly while gaming and has remained since. I’ve researched extensively but haven’t found a corresponding error message or solution online. It appears to be a hardware failure, possibly with the new motherboard itself, though it's unusual given its age.”
The "wild card" is that the problem occurs in games.
All I can think of, for the moment, is for you to take a closer look at the games you are playing.
Compare the games' recommended hardware specs to your system.
Games generally list three sets of specifications: minimal, recommended, and best. Overall, you do not want minimal and you do want as much "best" as you can afford.
No harm in posting those games by name: may prove helpful.
And I am also going to move your post to PC Gaming. Someone may recognize the problem and be able to offer potential fixes or other troubleshooting suggestions.
This seems to be a frustrating situation regarding input lag and accuracy in Fortnite. Let’s rephrase this focusing on the core issues:
"I’m experiencing significant problems with my mouse control within Fortnite. For over a year, the game has run smoothly at 150-220 FPS on low settings. Recently, the mouse tracking became inaccurate and unresponsive, causing a noticeable lag in my movements. This is impacting my gameplay significantly as I struggle to accurately aim and react. The issue appears to have developed spontaneously after a period of stable performance. I haven’t altered any game settings or hardware."
Essentially, it's highlighting the sudden onset of a problem with mouse input that has severely affected the player's experience within the game.
