I can tell you within seconds if a game has their own mouse cursor rendering like Satisfactory because it's so immediately obvious to me. Nothing I do seems to solve it, but it seems like it's something nobody else is really bothered by.

I've had these issues through 3 full PC rebuilds, both AMD and NVIDIA GPUs, HDDs, SSDs, an NVME drive, modern games, old games - the works. It's clearly something, because valve games can run at 20fps and be extremely snappy. It's almost like there's some form of camera smoothing going on or something, but it gives me insane motion sickness. Satisfactory can run perfectly fine in terms of numbers, but when on the menus with the mouse cursor it feels totally deatched from my movements. The fact that it's not tied to framerate really confuses me, since as I said Control was running well above the refresh rate of my monitor and was still having issues. Nothing stops when I stop, it's almost like it has to decelerate. It's only a couple of frames, but it's enough to make it feel like my hand isn't locked to the camera, and everything is swooshy. The sloppiness is clearly a lag from my inputs to what's being displayed.

Vsync off, Motion blur off, film grain off, everything on minimum and it *still* feels sloppy. However, the mouse movement still feels extremely loose and sloppy. When in other games such as Control or Satisfactory, they're basically unplayable for me due to how sloppy the mouse movement is, even if they're running well above the framerate of the monitor.Ĭontrol for example, on minimum I can have it run at a fairly consistent 80fps. Valve games are similar in this regard, no matter how low the fps gets, the mouse always feels responsive and snappy. Moving the camera is snappy, and moves exactly as far as I would expect it to. I've had instances where I've been down as low as 15-20fps in wow, and the mouse movement is still perfectly responsive.

When in certain games such as anything made by Valve or WoW, it's fine regardless of framerate. When on the desktop just moving the mouse, everything is absolutely fine. My mouse is an MX518, so it's both wired and has an excellent sensor. Nothing else running aside from the game. 3 1080p60 monitors connected, all to the GPU.

My PC isn't amazing, but it's more than adequate. It's bad to the point that there are a lot of games I've played with a controller just because I can't deal with the delay. The best way I can describe it is that it feels like my mouse is deatched from the movements ingame, and that it takes just a bit of time after I stop moving my hand for the camera to stop moving. No matter what I do, a large number of games will have extremely laggy mouse input, sometimes what feels like 10+ frames.

This has been the bane of my existance since I bought Bioshock back over a decade ago, and even now I have absolutely no idea what the causes are nor how to fix it.
