Mouse sensitivity fluctuating

My mouse sensitivity goes up and down ingame, this issue only comes up in apex matchmaking,in training mode it worked fine.i have tested this with other games and doesn't seem affected.

i have tried to change DPI up and down, (steelseries SENSEI RAW) on more than one profile, then tried deleting all but default profile and it didn't help.

tried without mouse mat and with, no change.

bought a new mouse (logitech g502 hero), deleted all drivers/software of older mouse. still no change.

tried different combo's of mouse DPI and ingame sensitivity options, ingame sensitivity is still wobbly.

tried repairing the game, nothing. then reset all ingame settings, still nothing.

i am out of options and don't know what to do here. can anyone please help me out?

    try setting polling rate down to 125hz on keyboard and mouse.. if that helps you can go steps above

    Go in windows mouse settings and check if "Enable pointer precision"is unchecked.. Also try another mouse pad

    It might be some sort of input lag.. Some that i've read causing this could be :
    v-sync enabled, high polling rate (causing load on cpu), try in nvidia control panel or amd graphics app and set maximum prerendered frames lower

    You can also try plugging the mouse into a seperate usb port

    There are three layers or more to configuring:
    Apex
    Custom Mouse application
    Windows mouse settings

    If they are not set properly could be causing some issue softwarewise

    Try monitoring cpu usage and find if there is a correlation between high cpu load and mouse changing its sensitivity

    i checked everything you mentioned. put my nvidia option you said to 1.
    it seems fluid now, but i noticed when i got into firefight a few times it did kind of slow down as if a tiny mouse turned my DPI down to 500 and then back to 2k+ etc.

    this did start happening after the update, i feel like this is apex network related, i don't have this issue with other games.

    Most gaming mouses these days have DPI buttons.. I have a steelseries mouse it's located right behind the scroll button where i accidently pressed it in game by scrolling inventory.. I would suggest if u have that type of button to remap it using the custom software
