Floating mouse issue fixed
Posted: 17 Aug 2025, 02:43
Long-term lurker in the forum, but I just created my account to share my experience with interference.
So, long story short, I had issues for a long time with a floaty mouse. I tried many different solutions, changed parts and peripherals, etc. Some fixes would work temporarily, but the problem always came back.
A little background: I’ve lived in three different countries (USA, Spain, Bulgaria). I started having these issues in Spain and later experienced them again when I returned to Bulgaria.
I tried different internet cables, a UPS, different PC cases, different mobos, different bios settings, different cpu clocks,cpu settings,ram settings etc. Sometimes my mouse felt fine, but other times it felt terrible. I experienced awful desyncs, especially in Valorant. I would go from being MVP in one match to struggling to get past 10 kills in the next five games. Every target switch felt laggy, and sometimes I would shoot directly at enemies and nothing would register. At some point, I thought I was just washed up, but I had been Radiant (top 500) in Valorant for several acts before these issues began.
I have high-end pc and I tried with high fps camera to take a video (360hz and playing with 500fps+ average) and when moving my mouse fast and do fast flicks I would see very bad screen tears some times, and sometimes is clear while having literally same fps.
What fixed it: I removed all items that could interfere with the 2.4 GHz dongle of my mouse, including my phone and anything within a 2–3 meter radius of my PC. I also removed my Wi-Fi extender. Basically, anything that could interfere with the 2.4 GHz dongle was gone. My router is in another room, and I also turned off Bluetooth on my PC.
Now, after a few weeks, I’m playing in much lower elo than before (low Immortal 3 lobbies) and going MVP almost every game. Nothing else really changed. My bullets connect, and I have had no issues so far. Before removing these items, I would often be in the middle of the scoreboard, struggle with duels, and especially struggle with multikills. I could never kill two people in front of me - I could get one kill due to good crosshair placement, but switching targets felt awful.
Something you guys can try as well is getting a high-quality wired mouse, like the OP18K, and removing any Bluetooth dongles or devices near your PC. If you have any questions let me know.
