  1. Mouse movement feels restricted for a moment, then normal again


    Yesterday, I noticed my mouse felt like it wasn’t moving freely. I’d move it across the desk, but the cursor on screen only moved a short distance — like something was holding it back. It lasted for about 2 seconds each time, then went back to normal. It happened a few times yesterday, but today the mouse is working fine again. The batteries are new, and the cursor never froze — just didn’t travel as far as expected. Any idea what might cause this? Some kind of interference? Or maybe Windows reacting slowly for a moment?
