solved Floaty Mouse- Reproducable fix-

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.

Earlier I had a regular Superlight
I have Superlight 2 for about 2 years now
It seems that I still have the same effect

So basically you just reflashed bios with the 2years old superlight2?
you never flashed or updated bios in 2years? until this?

Answering your question: Over the past two years, I updated the BIOS multiple times, reinstalled the OS multiple times, and changed the MOBO, PSU, CPU, and GPU. Sometimes everything was smooth, and sometimes the mouse felt floaty, but I never knew what could fix it or what might affect it. The problem was that before this fix, my performance in CS2 was always inconsistent.

Actually I did this instead of flashing BIOS (found it in the comments to this thread):
What worked for me:
- Turn off your PC and unplug everything (power cable, USB cables, etc.).
- Hold the power button for about 20 seconds.

- Reset the motherboard:
- Remove the CMOS battery.
- Short the CMOS jumper using any metal object.
- Put the battery back in its place.

- IMPORTANT:
- Plug in only the monitor and the power cable.
- Do not connect any USB devices.
- Make sure the PC is properly grounded.

- Turn on the PC.
- The motherboard must fully start without any USB devices connected (this is likely the main issue).
- Only connect USB devices after the motherboard has posted and Windows has started.
- You may connect a keyboard or mouse only if you need to exit the BIOS screen, but not before that.

I don’t actually understand what you meant by that. If you mean default BIOS settings, that’s not the point, because before resetting the CMOS, I saved my BIOS profile with all the settings, and after the reset, I imported it. So the same BIOS settings felt completely different.

You still need to run once with defaults, no?

I don't remember how I did it and if I imported BIOS profile on first boot or after first OS initialization and reboot, however, it worked and I'm still on the same BIOS profile. I understand that this whole fix is strange and makes no sense, but it worked for me and I posted before & after in my previous comments. I still don't know what exactly is causing the issue :D

after the fix you still can turn off computer and boot after with usb connected and still works?
or you have to do this after each shutdown?
