Game "Lag" Only When Moving Mouse

4.5

The game is smooth when you stand still, but the FPS drops to zero when you move the mouse.

Symptoms
  • FPS drop on movement
  • Stuttering
  • Unplayable aim
Possible Causes
  • High mouse polling rate (8000Hz)
  • CPU bottleneck
  • Overlay conflict

Step-by-Step Fix

1

Lower Polling Rate

Open your mouse software and set it to 500Hz or 1000Hz.

2

Disable Discord Overlay

The overlay can conflict with high-frequency mouse inputs.

3

Update Mouse Drivers

Ensure your gaming mouse has the latest firmware.

When to See a Technician

Modern "8K" mice send so much data that they can actually choke a mid-range CPU.
