that's how the mouse led thing works.
raw input of course "sounds" like the best choice, but apparently some people claim turning it off is better for csgo. i couldn't notice any difference.
honestly it's really really hard to read other people's subjective observations and determine to what extent expectation bias and placebo-like effects are involved. (lol@audiophile community)
the first time i used windows 8.1, i was aware of the whole 125hz thing. when using the desktop, i could have sworn then that i was feeling a lot of additional input lag. from my testing with some barebones opengl programs, i was familiar with what 16ms of lag felt like, and at the time i would tell you that i felt that amount of additional input lag in windows 8.1 was definitely 16ms or more.
well anyway basically i did some measurements of input lag using my phone, and... well basically i concluded that my original feelings were completely in my own head. since then i've been very cautious with evaluating other people's subjective anecdotes.
but anyway, given the weird tearing behavior with my gtx 750ti and the numerous reports from people, there probably is something funky going on with nvidia's drivers and/or window's input system. it may be a very specific combination of graphics card + driver + game.
we're very fortunate that it is possible to exactly measure these things; whereas with audiophiles, if you present measurements that do not support their subjective impressions, they'll just fire back a bunch of semi-valid arguments like "you can't measure what i hear", "blind tests hide small differences", etc...

I think it's time to upgrade windows xp, if it's a problem that persist on newer versions on windows(you say you cant feel it, might not be there at all? it might be a windows xp bug with the drivers?)
windows xp still feels nice and crisp in a weird way even compared to windows 7 with compositing off. but it doesn't perform well when loaded.
