Unplayable mouse stutter/sluggishness ingame
I was hoping that the new update would have fixed this but I'm still having the issue. Basically in game my mouse acts incredibly jerky, stuttery and/or sluggish as if it is missing mouse polls for a split second or something. This does not happen in any other game or program nor does it happen in the menu of Apex, just in play. It also does not happen while looting, just when aiming and looking around. This has persisted from the 1.2 Update and was not fixed in the Season 2 update. Sometimes it also feels like my keyboard controls lag too, in the sense that ill release the W key and my character won't stop/slowdown for a split second.
Another clue is that my Teamspeak 3 client begins to have severe inbound packet loss at the same time as the jerky mouse so all my friends sound incredibly robotic, which suggests something perhaps CPU related?? I dont know.
Things I have tried:
Turning off Origin overlay
Turning off Nvidia overlay and Shadowplay
Closing the Nvidia thing in the system tray
Uninstalling the Steel Series mouse software
Closing Teamspeak 3
Reducing mouse polling rate from 1000hz to 500hz
Increasing mouse DPI and reducing in game sensitivity (i play low sense)
Unplugging and replugging mouse into different USB
Uninstalling and reinstalling drivers inc mouse driver
Swapping between windowed/borderless window and fullscreen
Changing various graphics options such as all the v-sync options and no v-sync
I have no controller plugged in, but funny enough it works fine using controller (pc controller main incoming)
Changing CPU priority of the application
Repairing the Apex install in Origin
Capping the FPS via launch command
Closing just about everything I can in the background
Tabbing in and out of the application
Restarting etc
PC temps are normal
Unplugging non vital peripherals
Changing my DNS

Do you have "Enhance pointer precision" un-checked? If not, try that and let me know if that helps. It looks like you've done a lot of advanced troubleshooting so far, perhaps this guide by one of our Champions can help improve performance. It's under our Battlefield boards but the top part of it can still translate to Apex Legends.
