Delay between keyboard input and mouse input

Hi

Please help.

I am using an MSI laptop with USB mouse.

Ever since I upgraded to Windows 10, I have an issue which I notice expecially in Autocad and Excel.

When I switch between keyboard input (eg keyboard shortcut in Autocad) and clicking with the mouse (e.g. starting to draw in Autocad), there is an approx 1second delay before the mouse click registers. Basically any clicks within that 1st second are just
ignored. The mouse does not freeze, it is still able to move. But the clicks are 'dead'.

The same thing happens in Excel.. eg. typing a formula in a cell and then selecting another cell to reference that cell in my formula.. any clicks in another cell are just ignored for the 1st second after the keyboard input.

My touch pad is disabled.

I've read so many forums and tweaked every setting I could find.. but no luck.

Does anyone have any advice for me?

Regards

Karin Wilson

mouse delays

Hi Peter,

It is possible that you're experiencing mouse lag after update due to corrupted/outdated drivers or compatibility issue.

To troubleshoot your issue, I suggest that you follow these options:

Option 1: I suggest that you follow the steps in this
article on how to troubleshoot your mouse, touchpad, and keyboard problems in Windows.

Option 2: Enable / Disable Scroll Inactive Windows:

• Navigate to Settings > Devices > Mouse & Touchpad.
• Now locate the Scroll Inactive Windows option and disable / enable it.
• Try disabling and enabling this option a few times and check if the issue is resolved.

Option 3: Change Palm Check Threshold:

• Go to Mouse & Touchpad settings.
  
• Click Additional Mouse Options.
• Next choose TouchPad Tab.
• Click on Settings and go to Advanced Tab.
• Locate the Palm Check Threshold and move it all the way to the left.

Option 4: Set the touchpad to No Delay

To do this navigate to Mouse & Touchpad settings like we explained in the previous steps. Now find the
Touchpad section and set the delay before clicks to No delay (always on).

Option 5: Change your mouse frequency

Sometimes mouse lag problems can be related to its frequency. This issue usually affects wireless mice, and if your mouse is lagging, you might be able to solve the problem by adjusting its frequency.

To do that, open your mouse configuration software and change its frequency from 500 to 250Hz. After doing that, your mouse will start working normally.

Option 6: Disable Fast Startup:

• Press Windows Key + S and enter control panel. Choose Control Panel from the list.
• When Control Panel opens, select Power Options.
• Now click on Choose what the power button does.
• Click on Change settings that are currently unavailable.
• Uncheck Turn on fast startup (recommended) and click on
  Save changes.
• After disabling Fast Startup, the issue should be resolved and your mouse will start working again.

Option 7: Change your Clickpad settings:

• Navigate to Mouse section in Control Panel.
• Go to Clickpad settings. Navigate to Advanced > Smart Sense and set
  Filter to 0.

Option 8: Roll back your drivers:

• Open Win + X menu by pressing Windows Key + X. Now select
  Device Manager from the list.
• When Device Manager opens, locate your mouse or Realtek audio driver and double click it.
• Go to Driver tab and click on Roll Back Driver button if available. If
  Roll Back Driver button is grayed out, this solution doesn’t apply to you.

Option 9: Change Power management options:

• Go to Device Manager and double click USB Hub device to open its properties.
• When Properties window opens, go to Power Management tab and uncheck
  Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power. Click
  OK to save changes.
• Keep in mind that you need to repeat these steps for all USB Hub devices on your PC. After making the necessary changes, the issues with your mouse will be resolved.

Option 10: I suggest that you follow the steps shared by Jackson Chris on this
thread.

Keep us posted if you need additional help.
