Mindset? I don’t understand what you’re talking about. I mentioned the magnet because it has a magnetic field, and they got it right here—either it protects from interference or blocks it, I’m not sure, but I have indeed achieved success, and not just me, but others as well. I think the problem might stem from this, and it affects a lot of people. I assume the power supply generates a lot of EMI, which causes the power on the motherboard to be impure, hence there are EMI corrections—I don’t know—and this causes input lag and floaty movement. I only have floaty movement; everything else is perfect.

Changes are what bring these effects, not things like bad timings, interference or whatever the current topic is. Putting on a magnet, aluminium foil, chagning RAM timings, changing voltage, Windows settings, all of these provide the same relief from heaviness for a couple of minutes. Same thing with a laptop amd the same with a PS3. The time of day doesn't matter either, I have nothing to tie these behaviours to. Sometimes there is a random relief of lag for around a minute and it usually doesn't happen for days. Yesterday my laptop started downloading its display driver. Synchronized feeling even with a touchpad and then it's gone after 2 minutes. Can't hund down anything with ProcMon either and if I try others' computers in different houses or towns, they aren't any better.

It's amazing that something as small as a magnet can improve the problem. I still don't understand why we can't make a device that will help us, probably because we don't want to solve this problem. And don’t tell me that the problem cannot be solved.

Because cost of solving it as high as moving out or higher if you want to do it properly and not be lucky.

The magnet still works, my headshot rate is very high.

There is an EMF meter app available for phones, you can download it and check how strong the magnet is, or where such a field exists around your computer. It's free.

Anyone who doesn't seem to be affected by this can try placing magnets differently. I do one near the PSU and one near the GPU. Moving the magnets around make my mouse behave differently and it doesn't go away after some time, just had to find the best spots. Why this works I don't know but I do know that taking them off looks and feels painful.

Can you send a picture? I also need to change the positions, but this isn't a temporary effect, my mouse movement improves immediately. I'm wondering if it's because the spread spectrum, which is enabled in the BIOS, is causing the need to change the magnet positions? Sometimes it's enough to move them a few centimeters.
