  1. Mouse is sluggish when I am playing games


    When my PC is working with a very high load and the CPU goes close to 100%, I am having problems with a mouse. The cursor is starting shuttering, it gets sluggish and stops moving sometimes. Especially this happens when I am playing games so you see it is a frustrating problem.

  2. Right click changes to left on the mouse while playing games

    Hi Armen,

    Thank you for posting in Community.

    We understand your concern and we will provide the assistance required to help you resolve the issue.

    Before we proceed, I would like you to provide the information stated below:

    • Do you face this issue only when playing games?
    • If yes, does it happen only to a specific game?
    • Other than changing your mouse, did you make any other changes prior to the issue?

    As per the information that you have provided, I would suggest that you follow the steps below to help us narrow down the issue.

    Method 1:

    Connect another mouse to your PC, perform the same task and check. You may also randomly click without lunching the game to check if the issue occurs only during game play.

    Method 2:

    If the issue persist in both the above stated scenario, I would suggest that you place your computer in Safe Mode and check. Safe mode starts Windows in a basic state, using a limited set of files and drivers. It can help you troubleshoot problems on your
    PC.

    Note: You will not be able to launch the game in Safe Mode. However, I would recommend that you randomly click and check if the same issue occurs.

    Hope this helps

  3. MSI mouse gaming g series mouse lagging

    Hello,

    As per your description above, I understood that your MSI gaming mouse is not working. Can you answer the below questions too:


    • Did you check if the mouse works fine in another computer?

    • Does this issue happen only while playing games?
    As a work around I suggest you to go to the Windows update history and check if there are any optional updates relating to any pointing devices. If yes, download them and check if the issue persists.

    Get back to us, we'll be glad to assist you further.

    Mouse is sluggish when I am playing games

    Mouse cursor invisible when playing any full screen game (Windows 10)

    For the past day and a half whenever I am playing a fullscreen game I can not see my cursor, however, it does still work as in I am still able to press buttons or play the game normally outside of menus. I have tried to generic results given to everyone
    which were designed for Windows8:

    Method 1:

    I would suggest you to disable it and check for the results. Follow the steps to do so:

    • Press Windows and X keys together and select Control Panel.
    • Click on Mouse.
    • Navigate to pointer options tab.
    • Under Visibility, uncheck the box which says “display pointer trails”.
    • Click on OK to close the window.
    Check if you find the same issue. If yes, move to the next method.

    Method 2:

    Follow the steps below to change the display text size to 100 % and check if it resolves the issue:

    • Right Click on the desktop screen and select Personalize.
    • Click on Display.
    • Check the box that says “let me choose one scaling level for all my display”. Choose Smaller (100%)-default.
    • Click on Apply. Restart the game and check if the point becomes invisible again.

    I have tried restarting my laptop (dell latitude e7470)

    I am running Windows 10 as of 9/23/17

    Windows Defender is on

    Any help is appreciated

    Thanks!
