Two settings that eliminated a lot of mouse heaviness for me

Everything about latency. This section is mainly user/consumer discussion. (Peer-reviewed scientific discussion should go in Laboratory section). Tips, mouse lag, display lag, game engine lag, network lag, whole input lag chain, VSYNC OFF vs VSYNC ON, and more! Input Lag Articles on Blur Busters.

These break NVIDIA shadow play for me but it does make my game feel a lot better
delete

I also don’t recommend using these tweaks. They felt better at the time, but after improving things and redoing my setup, I realized they actually made things worse it just felt different back when everything was poorly set up.

if u want to revert everything u have to delete them all unless some existed before and im not gonna bother list what was there and wasn't ask a friend to screenshare their registery

i only sent something that can fix shadowplay replay
i tested ur tweaks they are either good for a time or just became bad after i configured other stuff, but to whoever wants to keep it and use shadowplay delete the dword i mentioned
