READ DISCLAIMER AND IGNORE!!!!

Hey Guys i wanted to make a quick Post as i Suffered alot from Input lag since a couple years and also thought my mouse was floaty and imprecise. Read a shitton of articels here about the problem without any solution i could find so i was going mad as gaming and furthermore playing competitive games on a chill basis was just impossible with all that desync and Ferrarie Peekers + squishy aim and stuff...

so Today i found my solution that worked IN MY CASE!!! (maybe you have a different problem so idk if it helps but if it does i am Glad i could.)

That the story makes more sense i should mention i live in quite an old building thats never got really finnished is liveable in there but its just old and not the glamourast one. Important is that the grounding wasn't made from a certified electrician in this House it was made bye some guy who built it and that guy well (i just know storys from my father never met him in person but he sayed he was quiet a drinker and from what i can say his work he did on building this house (Electical formost!) wasn't the best... sooo to my story:

I am a 26 year old guy from Austria who suffered extensivly from High Input lag floaty Imprecise mouse and stuff like that. Tried everything searched all Floaty mouse forums, videos and Articel that i could find on the internet for about 1 year... couldn't fix the problem till Today! Already changed motherboard and Cpu Ram.. Tried USP, Ferride Chokes, nothing helped. So as i sayed i am a Certified Electrician and some people mentioned insufficiend grounding so i thought this couldnt be the reason at first because my home is Grounded i thought also are all outlets with 230v i have in my room... UNTIL i discovered that the Earth (PE-Wire) wasn´t connected to my room because the wire comming from the Outside was going Blind! so i thought i had Earth on my PC but the cable was going blind... as Soon as i fixed the Earth and connected it to my Room (outlets and everything. I started my PC and hit up a game and man o man its faccinnating what a difference it makes.
(I also properly grounden my motherboard with chromescrews and Chrome Distance Screws. Dont know if that makes a difference honestly as my pc wasnt grounded from the outlet as i mentioned earlier but it definetly doesnt hurt. If you want to know what i mean exactly - search for WINKLY - YT on Youtube hes a guy who made a video about it almost or more than a year ago.

i hope i could help you have a nice Sunday. Bye :)

Congrats (f#ck you) :-D

I'm hoping you've done some measurements on the socket where your computer is connected (pray):
-> What voltage do you have between ground and neutral, and ground and live/hot before and after the fix?

He doesn't know yet. Let's not upset him. Any change in the PC area can give a random fix. Then it will pass, maybe day, a week or a month.
Yes. Your computer does not need grounding at all. The absence of grounding will not give you input lag.

For example, all modern consoles and TVs (OLED) do not use grounding. There is not even this wire. Only 2 wires.

This might not be true 10/10 times but I can heavily agree with you. The explanation you gave perfectly represents the issue everyone is trying to solve here.

Inside of a psu there is a filter right after input that uses grounding. Its not mandatory but will improve input lag in certain power lines ( yes input lag ).

nah i think that doesn't happen as long as no power wire ever is in contact with the case so...
