Hey guys I just recently ran into some problems with my mouse lagging…Or for better words, its been having really poor precision when trying to slowly hover in on links on the web, buttons in games, etc. Seems almost like it is veering off course a little despite where I am telling it to go. Let me start off by giving my system specs and explaining the situation:
Custom Built / Modified “Dell” Desktop
- 4000 MB Ram
- ECS Motherboard
- 500 GB Hard Drive
- ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics
- Windows Vista Ultimate (32 bit)
- AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4400+ 2.30 GHz
Ok so I am a big gamer, World of Warcraft in particular…As I was playing WoW a few days ago is when I first encountered mouse “lagging” problems. At that time I was using a Logitech M310 Wireless Mouse which worked perfectly fine for about 3 months up until I started having this issue. Nothing on my PC changed, no new programs OR updates were installed to cause this problem. Since then I have purchased a brand new $80 Razer Imperator gaming mouse which is WIRED and hooks up into a USB slot. It was basically a plug and play type of deal however I did go on their website and download the most up to date driver and firmware for the mouse. I also updated the drivers for my video card, ran a few important Windows updates, and did a full system scan and repair with AVG Anti-Virus and PC Tune-Up. I also ran CC cleaner and defragmented my hard drive. None of this took care of the problem. Device Manager also says that the mouse is working properly and is up to date and there are no old Logitech drivers left behind on my system.
Yes my mouse lense and feet are clean, no it is not the mouse pad causing this. I have already been into the mouse controls in the control panel, not to mention I have fiddled with the control center this gaming mouse comes with. I’ve turned the DPI up to 5600 and the mouse goes super fast, but still the precision is terrible. I plugged this mouse and my old Logitech mouse into my girlfriend’s laptop and they worked fine, so its definately a problem with my PC.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated, I feel like I just wasted $80 on a mouse when it wasn’t even the problem. Please read this entire thread before you make a post, chances are I’ve already tried whatever you have in mind. I need a real technical wiz!!!
