    Hey there,

    I've started having a problem on my computer with a laggy mouse. It seems to stop randomly and not follow my movements, and slowly get worse and worse to where it takes me a good 10-15 seconds to go from the bottom of the screen to the top; stopping and starting as i pull the mouse back and forth.

    I have tried 3 different mice; 1 Wireless USB from Logitech, 1 Wireless USB from Microsoft, and 1 Wired Mouse from ASUS. The problem persists with all of them, and I can't seem to find a solid answer on a google search.

    The drivers all show as updated, and I have tried a software program for the Microsoft mouse to try and tweak it, but to no avail. I have also tried uninstalling the drivers, but that didn't help either.

    The problem goes away if I restart my system, but seems to pop up after a few hours of run time. I'm usually running Firefox and PCSX2 (a Playstation-2 Emulator) and come in under 10% CPU usage on average. I haven't found any reason for those two programs to cause a problem, and I have run my spyware/virus protection programs to see if it was perhaps malware causing it.

    I'm a bit stumped :confused:

    [Running Windows 7 64-bit, Intel i7 9GB in case it helps]

    Thanks!

    I'm thinking, PCSX2 might be causing the issue, have you tried not running it at all to see if you issue persists?

    Yup. I've kept from running it over this past week, and I've noticed the problem even when I'm just running Firefox.

    Does it have any effect if you unplug all devices except for your mouse, keyboard and screen?

    What I have noticed is when you have some signal blockage in the way there a problems. Mobile phone is a problem, Wi-Fi modem to.
