Mouse, controller input lag, missing PC

Hi, my mouse or controller input are choppy, missing and panning the camera change the sensitivity. I play a lot of shooter with raw input mode and all play fine, my issues is only with apex. 

Ive tried to play with a controller, but somes key wont register, stock settings bios, xmp on/off different usb mouse, or ports, changing polling rate all the way down 8khz to 125.

Ive recorded this video using my mouse, in a constant movement. Ive tried with 180 fps limit, unlimited, and 240, changing resolution, dpi nothing fixes it

All my drivers are up to date, my windows is clean, my rigs is clean from dust, my cpu utilisation is near 30-40% in game, gpu is 80% max

Edit: ive turned off/on the mouse acceleration setting ingame

Clean boot with all non windows disabled

without msi afterburner

without c-states, speedstep etc...

differents windows versions, nvidia drivers

with vsync, without hyperthreading

with only the mouse

  • @Chedopaslui Hello,

    The polling rate for any mouse shouldn't exceed 1000 if the option is given (usually on off brand mice). Its good to have it on the highest possible setting. On the other hand, a higher polling rate will use more CPU resources as the CPU has to query the mouse for its position more often, which would cause lack of response time due to the game having to catch up with your look movements if your pc is not up to par.

    Make sure you're playing at your native resolution for the best results.
    (Even if you're playing stretched)

    Try repairing game files / file integrity depending if you're on origin / steam.
    Make sure you have the most up to date drivers for your gpu, windows is up to date, and that your monitor is at its max refresh rate which can be found by
    Right clicking desktop and selecting display.

    Faulty hardware can also be the culprit, usually a Old cpu or old gpu.
  • Hi, ive tried all the polling rate available 8k, 4k, 2k, 1k, 500, 250, still act the same, i have no failing hardware, i can run warzone with no problem, valorant with high fps and the mouse is perfect.

    Im not cpu bound, or gpu bound either (9900k+2080).
