Hello! Maybe some of you recognize me from the CS:GO competitive world as a semi-pro player. Unfortunately, I had to pause because of this issue. At first, I thought it was only about CSGO, but it also happens in Valorant. I've tested four different gaming mice, used various mousepads, upgraded to a 240Hz monitor, and even had my PC serviced, which restored it to working order. However, it still feels like the mouse drags through something sticky. Over the past six months, I’ve tried everything, but it’s putting a serious strain on my future career—unless I upgrade my PC, which would cost around $2000 more than what I currently have (which is already beyond what I need). My setup includes an Intel i7 8700K, an RTX 1060 with 6GB RAM, a 16GB RAM module, and an Asus Strix 370 motherboard. I’m not sure what to do next. Reinstalling Windows hasn’t helped either—I’ve tried it several times. I’m open to any advice you might have.
Thank you!
Hey there! It looks like you're curious about whether this issue is just impacting the mouse or if it's influencing the overall experience of using the computer. Let me help clarify that for you!
It definitely changes how the mouse responds. I don’t really sense it when I’m using the desktop only—it feels very smooth at 240Hz—but in games like CS or Valorant, it becomes really frustrating. I made sure it wasn’t just my imagination by asking a friend who used to play with me to test it. He felt the same issue.
This one is quite strange. Have you installed the drivers yet? If so, did you remove them to check for any changes? Also, could you let me know if your games are running smoothly without the mouse problem? I'm reaching out because a 1060 might have trouble at 240hz. But yes, just uninstall that mouse driver and come back to us.
I’ve got the NVIDIA drivers set up, plus the latest mouse drivers—used to run Zowie, but I just got a new Logitech G Hero mouse yesterday along with the software.
Since I’m playing CS at 400fps without any issues, it doesn’t seem like that’s the problem.
It’s not just about the graphics card drivers—check the mouse driver or software in your Windows Control Panel. If you see older versions installed, remove them. Also, delete the driver that came with the mouse itself. Try playing a game to compare the results.
There was another HID-compliant mouse besides my G Pro Gaming mouse driver in the "Devices and Printers" section, which I removed (it reappears after restarting the PC). Since uninstalling drivers through the device manager is correct, am I right? Yes, I did that and plugged it back in.
Additionally, in the Device Manager, I now see three HID-compliant mice. Also, under USB Controllers, an "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)" appears.
The issue persists.
