Mouse "lag"/Stuttering

Hi guys, for around a week or so now I've been having issues with my mouse freezing/lagging/stuttering and it is starting to drive me nuts!

The mouse is a Hama Roma, it is only a cheap mouse but I love the feel of it and when it's working ok it is a brilliant mouse for general use and gaming.

While gaming it never seems to lock up or stutter/lag, but while using my computer for the regular surfing the web etc it seems to lag and stutter fairly often

I am using a Corsair Vengeance MM200 mouse mat

It started just over a week ago I noticed it when I was at a friends house (had a gaming session over the weekend, took my system to his house)

I thought it was just the surface I was using the mouse on as it was very shiny, so went out and bought the mouse mat which seemed to cure it, or at least make it happen less often.

Since it started I have reinstalled windows as I installed 2 SSD's in RAID-0, updated the drivers etc and it is still happening, so I was wondering can anyone offer any insight into this?

I have changed the batteries, installed the up to date drivers, have tried different USB ports and it's still the same.

Big thanks in advance for any help into sorting this issue.

Might be a dpc latency issue (caused by some driver...). Try to run latency mon, and post the results.

Try to see what happens if you run the mouse at different polling rates. Try 1000Hz, 500Hz, 250Hz.

Maybe you are plugging the mouse into a different port since you went to that LAN? Try different USB ports. I'd try one of the two USB ports that are grouped together with the PS2 connection.

I mentioned PS2 because I searched for images of that P67 board you have in your profile and the pictures looked like it had PS2.

Polling rates, you should probably ignore me! I just searched for that "hama roma" mouse and it's wireless. It probably runs at 125Hz which is the default for mouse and keyboard on USB. I can't imagine a problem at 125Hz. My idea was your PC not wanting to run a gaming mouse at 1000Hz, but that's probably not what's happening here. If it's possible to change polling rate on your mouse, it would be a setting somewhere in the mouse software.

As the mouse is wireless, perhaps it just needs a new battery? But I guess that doesn't make sense as you said everything is fine in games.

I've changed the batteries as I thought it might of been that

And I just looked online and seems it does have a PS2 port, going to pull the computer out now and check, was positive it didn't have one though! (Maybe I'm thinking of my other system that doesn't have a PS2 port)

I posted it on another forums too: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1848080/asus-k53sv-laptop-strange-mouse-behaviour.html#11756360

I already tried DPC Latency Checker, it was measuring like 400-500 ps on average.

LatencyMon test:
Not too sure as yours is a laptop but I have now fixed mine by once again removing drivers (both mouse and USB drivers) then restarting the system and reinstalling the drivers, seems to of worked this time!

I don't remember the names of them, if its a laptop though it will be touch pad or track pad (unless its a separate mouse you use?)

Edit: just read your post on TH, try updating to the latest drivers through the Asus website for your model laptop if you haven't already, if you have find out the names of them and delete them using something like driver sweeper then reinstall the drivers after restarting, seems to of worked for my computer

I already tried playing with the drivers, nothing helped.

Well sometimes I feel like "this thing" fixed my problem, but actually not, it seems the performance of my mouse is changing. I think it depends on the time (its environment).

My thought is USB system is faulty or something is interfering.

The only reason I post this late is to test this for a while.

It seems downgrading these Realtek drivers increased the performance of my mouse. I also downgraded the intel hd 3000 driver. I will post back if my problem comes back.

Thank you!
