Probably another placebo but give it a try (floaty mouse in games fix)

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.

Tweaked my registry so many times and after that still no fix for floaty mouse.
Just use sfc /scannow in CMD.
After that in powershell type

Code: Select all

Remove-Item -Path "HKCU:\Control Panel\Mouse" -Recurse -Force
which is deleteing corrupted or modded values of mouse entries.
Reboot.
Do not forget to disable Enhance pointer Precision after the reboot
Try this out
Hope you feel positive changes after that.

I'll just write the same thing as always. Tweak your stuff right and it will serve you right. I haven't managed to find any culprits of EMI input lag but I have what feels like true zero input delay on the latest 26H1 preview version. What you should have in the first place is the inability to run sfc /scannow and anything similar. Windows should be stripped of the ability to fix itself because it doesn't fix parts that help you in gaining performance but those that take it away (updates and defender). I don't see how the Mouse registry key would get corrupted either.
