Longstanding Floaty Aim Feel Issue Fixed with a Fiber Optic DisplayPort Cable...

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.

Edit: oh nevermind I'm an idiot, op did not say that, my bad.
No worries.

I went through like 20 pages of the thread to look through his comments. LOL

Anyways, I have a VESA-certified DP2.1 cable for my OLED monitor, but since it's only $15- went ahead and bought the fiber-optic one OP linked- just for testing purposes. Let's see how it goes.

Honestly, after you made me realise op didn't say that, I bought one too and it should come today

Edit: it arrived and it feels very different, and yes, the problem is fixed for now, but i have to give it a couple of days/months

That's a hybrid optical cable. Not pure optic fiber.

Switch to a different mouse mcu. If you’re on nordic, try BK. If you’re on Bk, try compx etc.
