a Mouse problem

Chancer3001

Im a casual gamer.


I play league of legends


For some reason when the action on the game gets heated my mouse glitches like crazy. slows down. becomes slow to respond etc


i have a touchpad and that works absolutely perfectly at these same times. So I know its not the internet connection (which is very fast)



ive a new battery and new mousepad.


the mouse itself is wireless. Logitech m170...


Any suggestions on what I can do? Or would buying a new non-wireless mouse fix the problem?

Can you not just borrow a spare wired mouse to test before spending the money ?

I had a similar issue with an older computer. The problem was not the mouse. The problem was that the computer was too busy to respond to the mouse movement.

Your computer performance may not be adequate for the game.

Thats what I thought.

But then how does that explain the touchpad responses being perfect??

I had the same issue, usually when downloading a good bit over wifi and/or system under pressure. You will not have the same issue with a wired mouse, but I never which one of the two was the actual cause, only that it went back to normal when I stopped whatever torrent/stream I was watching.

Mice and keyboards use hardware interrupts to "grab" the CPUs attention. If the driver for your mouse isnt doing this its request to the CPU gets queued with all the other jobs rather than skipping straight to the front.
