Mouse cursor lags behind my mouse movement

I have this weird cursor movement delay ( that I assume shouldn’t happen with my specs since they are far greater than what my old PC had and that PC did not have this problem at all.
This delay gets worse depending on the load on my PC and also affects my desktop aswell.
I cap out at MAX 63% cpu usage (but delay happens at 10% aswell) and 30% memory usage
The CPU does not Throttle in any way and stays at 4,58GHz indefinitely

I have tried everything, it happens on every mouse so I assume its a hardware issue, reinstalled windows, downgraded to W10, reinstalled drivers, tried every single option available ingame and in the control panel, i tried playing in the lowest possible resolution windowed mode, set affinities for different programs, disabled fullscreen optimizations, disabled game bar and game mode, everything. And nothing seems to help… So i’m wondering, what’s the issue?

I’m sure you’ve tried this, but does switching to a different port helps ? – also, is the mouse wired or wireless ? And, does the mouse works ok on a different computer ? Do you get the same results with a different mouse plugged in ?

Have you tried disabling vsync?
Isnt there some options in advance that can reduce mouse lag?

use a different port

Unfortunately I have… it seems like it comes and goes depending entity loaded areas which I feel shouldn’t happen with an i5-11600kf

It’s super weird - very hard to just guess solutions - here’s a few other things I usually check ( even though you mentioned no throttling ) - check for proper cpu / cooler assembly, does the case has proper pressure and all components are well ventilated ? No issues with memory sticks ?

Arent there an option you can check or uncheck to reduce input lag in the connection options

8

Do you have the manufacturers drivers installed?

Not anymore.
