How I solved my particular input lag,floaty mouse,desync, degraded visuals problem

Separate area for niche lag issues including unexpected causes and/or electromagnetic interference (ECC = retransmits = lag). Interference (EMI, EMF) of all kinds (wired, wireless, external, internal, environment, bad component) can cause error-correction latencies like a bad modem connection. Troubleshooting may require university degree. Your lag issue is likely not EMI. Please read this before entering sub-forum.

how often you have 'ground yourself?' and is it possible to fix it again by doing it again?
I only tried it for the first time today, ive had the issue since 2018 and its followed me to different parts of the UK which makes no sense. As soon as I got back to my flat today after the experiment I noticed all text and visuals were clearer and that shadow that follows the mouse cursor was less apparent, cs2 and battlefield 6 were smoother, like there were more frames and movements happening in the game not just the fps. If the desync comes back I'll go touch grass barefoot again and see what happens, this would suggest our physical body is messing with electronics somehow
pc is grounded?
Yes, no issues with hardware grounding in my opinion. My pc has been on for 12 hours and mouse movement has stayed the same throughout, which is new
i know, body can eliminate 50hz wave but only if you touch something metal part. But, you can take multimeter, and measure voltage between your body and neutral / ground in socet (also between neutral and ground), measure voltage between body and pc. Also, when you make that, try measure with foot on floor, without foot on floor.

I may try that multimeter test if it gets bad again, for now I can see a difference day 2, even opening tabs in chrome looks smoother, youtube videos, windows explorer etc. WASD movement in cs2 feels more normal, there are complete frames of animation missing with the desync but no test will show it

I honestly think its fixed, keeping the keyboard flat against your desk without the stands seems to keep it the most stable

So you walk on grass all days before play computer and disconnect main sockets every day or how?

I can write a book on this sick problem at this point but I will try to keep this post precise and to the point and factual.
I live in a tier 2 city in India.

IT IS NOT THE ULTIMATE SOLUTION to this annoying problem, but it was applicable in my case where standard practises are not sincerely performed all the time.
Thank you.
Hi, I also live in India and I have found out that my house doesn't have bonding between neutral and ground. After you got bonding done, have you re-encountered the issue again or is it still perfect all this time?

to be honest it came back again, but then i started touching a metal coin against radiators, door handles, pipework etc and its kinda smooth again, this is a very complex issue

all metal in your home work like antenna for it.

I'm now convinced this issue is in the air for me, its night time now for me and I'm noticing my laptop connected to my TV just gained picture clarity and responsiveness in the last half an hour, also my phone just gained these same benefits.
