Your mobo has PS2 port , buy a ps2 keyboard for better mouse movement
Use 2.0 ports for mouse

Your board has Intel v219 nic , 3 different z270 with v219 I tried all sucked before disabling and using external ethernet card
Testi it if you want: You will observe better with cpu intensive high fps games , but even elden ring vs you should be able to tell

Also ehci was millions times better than xhci , but for external usb controllers , idk

Yea, not sure where these strange people came from that think plugging in a mouse on USB 3.0 ports feels better. Doesn't matter if it's z77, z87, z170, or z590, the 2.0 ports are always better for me. Yes, if you want to run a meme mouse with 1 billion hz polling rate then the 3.0 ports might be more stable, but those people are probably where all the "why do I have constant tearing and stutter" posts on this forum come from.

2.0 definitely feels better to me, feels slightly more sharp/precise, shame most newer boards have done away with them

It’s one of the biggest issues moving forward with lots of things.

Style > substance & functionality. Not just PC’s but a majority of day to day things.

Also 2.0 is de wai.

Yea, it’s pretty easy to tell a difference even though both ports go to the same USB 3.2 controller, but the pin out is different. I haven’t been paying much attention to newer 8k meme mice (even though I have a Viper 8k I don’t use). Anyone know if any mice with USB 3 pin out actually exist?

Your mobos backpanel seems lack usb2.0 , specs says only asmedia controller has usb 2.0 , they prolly front panel jacks on mobo
Asmedia might suck try if you want

ehci was a usb controller and it was on older boards , genius mobo manufacturers dont include them anymore

Does your bios has hpet option ? Most of the asus mobos dont have it
If yes disable it
If not mod your bios and disable it

If money is not a problem , switch to z97-77 since your are not too far away IPC wise

no one usb 3.0 mouse there.
usb 1.1 - 1000hz max (fullspeed)
usb 2.0 - 2000hz + (high speed)
some 1000hz wireless mouse use 2.0.
for imitation echi usb 2.0 u can buy external pci-e mcs9990
