my issue is exact like this

and when you move the mouse faster, the screen's jelly sensation becomes even worse

I resolved 90% of it by switching my ethernet cables to standard UTP's instead of s/ftp.
I have tried seperate pcie network card and made 0 difference.
This is actually interesting, same for me! The higher the Catx Category that I test, with more shielding the worse the game becomes. I'm using Cat5e now. I tried looking for even lower ones but didn't find.

Problem with s/ftp is, if you don't install it correctly it acts as antenna.
It requires grounding to work properly and also a high quality cable.
You just need a cat6 UTP 24AWG and if you can find one with pure copper.

Same with me, in CS it's even worse, moving the mouse quickly to aim the pixels quickly is almost like a jelly screen

If you look at the back of almost any modern motherboard, you'll see the I/O shield. This shield is actually grounded, and the grounded shield of the stp/ftp/sftp etc cable comes in contact with it when male and female RJ45's are hooked, thus grounding the shield of the cable too. Problem is, why on earth is it making things worse? specially desync, hitreg latency and sluggish movement in general.
More to that, I've already tried to ground the ethernet cable by hooking a crocodile clip and a ground wire wrapped around a case screw. Made sure that the crocodile clip is grounded by testing it with a multimeter. Nothing changed really!

I really don't know, all I know is after the PC was left without ethernet cable for 10 minutes it felt insanely smooth after re-plugging it back and playing a game.
That wasn't even the intention, I was switching cable to see if it was causing my discord issues.
Well it's not 100% fixed tbh, could just been a coincidence and pc happened to act better these days.
Will see when I get back in 10 days I will have a double conversion UPS and see if it fixes the rest of the issues.

I am faceing input lag problem from 2016. Really i have already 3. Internet provider, every time other ethernet cables, routers, playing on WiFi Long time. It have nothing to do with internet or cables. Save your time with this theory.
Also UPS online do nothing to this problem, also every power helper what exist do nothing.dont buy nothing. Even 100 filter emi/rfi what I bought did nothing, maybe 5%better after filters

I've been having it for years too. 4-5 years.
This problem is not 100% the same for everyone and for sure won't have the same solution for everyone either.
I've read of people that fixed input lag issues with double conversion UPS (doesn't meant it's gonna help me too) but the quality of it might aswell play a big role.
UPS will be useful for the PC either way because the equipment is expensive so it's fine if it doesn't help, I'll keep it as extra protection or take it back and buy something else.
This is most likely my last resort either way, I'll probably stop trying if UPS doesn't help either.
