Mouse sensation is often heavy or slow, especially when online but seems normal offline.
Mouse sensation is often heavy or slow, especially when online but seems normal offline.
I switched from the g402 to the Razer Deathadder v2. The g402 performed well at first, but then I experienced some delays. I purchased another mouse, which turned out to be the Razer Deathadder v2 as well, and both had similar problems. Now I suspect there might be a hardware issue. The mouse feels sluggish when I move the cursor in online apps like GeForce Now. The cursor lags, but once I switch to my desktop it stops lagging; however, the delay remains, making it seem like 75fps. In games, it doesn’t really lag, but the mouse still feels slow and heavy, even though there’s no gaming latency. The delay is noticeable but doesn’t affect the screen or camera. I’ve disabled all VSYNC options, and every monitor’s refresh rate is 75hz. I’ve tried reinstalling the drivers multiple times.
This issue is really frustrating.
The aim doesn’t feel precise, and I sense the aim isn’t accurate. When I move the aim, the camera in the game seems smooth, but the aim itself feels off—crosshair isn’t sharp. I’ve reinstalled the drivers several times.
It’s so difficult to describe this problem clearly.
Here are some points:
1. The mouse cursor feels slow when I use it in online applications.
2. The slowness seems more related to the aim not being snappy or precise. It feels heavy, especially online, though it’s still noticeable offline.
3. Motherboard: H310-c (Temp) 28 – stable
4. Optical Mouse: Razer DeathAdder V2
5. Monitor: 75hz
6. GPU: 1050ti 4G Max (Temp) 68
7. i3 9100f Max (Temp) 50+ – not the issue
8. RAM: 8gb
9. DisplayPort
10. FPS: 200-400 (varies)
11. Disk occasionally jumps to 100% when opening an app
Sorry for the unclear explanation and lengthy description. I’m not someone who likes to explain things much. I really hope I get some help quickly, as I’ve been trying to fix this for over a year without success. Thank you!
In Device Manager, is your mouse driver functioning correctly and properly? The same applies to your USBs. A drive should be fully utilized when launching applications.
I experienced this identical problem, it began roughly five months ago. My precision is affected now, especially in fast-paced games like CS:GO and Valorant. It’s difficult to convey the issue clearly; it’s not just about aim lag—it also impacts my mouse cursor, making it seem like I’m playing with Perm-Vsync nonstop.
Before, I could land all simple shots in Counter-Strike, but now even basic point-and-click targets are hard. My mouse keeps over-aiming or lagging, or my aim feels sluggish as if dragging it across the screen.
I tried several solutions without success:
- Updated Windows
- Installed new Nvidia drivers
- Reinstalled the operating system
- Switched to different mice (three models in five months)
- Upgraded storage with an SSD
- Increased RAM
- Reinstalled Windows three times
- Adjusted settings and checked electrical connections
- Switched Ethernet ports, cables, and monitor displays
I also cleaned my mousepad and applied thermal paste (which helped with temperatures but didn’t resolve the core problem).
My aim remains inconsistent, and I’m frustrated because I want a simple fix without rebuilding an entire gaming PC.
Are you using Windows 10?
Have you tested your mice on another PC or laptop?
Would you like to try these options:

Hello Zeto! That's precisely the issue I'm facing—it seems the aim stops around 0.00001 seconds after you stop moving your mouse, which makes aiming extremely difficult. If I get a fix, I'll definitely let you know what's causing it.
If the same issues appear on another computer, it suggests a problem with your mice. If not, the issue likely lies with your PC.
