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.
