Mouse polling rate causing huge lag

[DiazTM]

I have a Corsair scimat pro rgb and when the polling rate is set to 1000hz i have huge lag spikes , eg on osu! i would go from the capped fps limit of 240fps down to as low as 10 fps if i moved my mouse, tho if i change the polling rate to 125hz everything works fine.
Its the same with every game ive played.
Ive tried rolling back mouse and nvidia drivers but nothing has helped, the only way i managed to fix it was to uninstall my mouse drivers from device manager and replug my mouse but after reboot the problem came back again.

Even after factory reseting by unplugging it and replugging it back in while holding right and left mouse buttons my mouse at 1000hz still lags but now after the reset im getting no noticeable lag while at 500hz
This is what i get when checking my mouse hz on https://zowie.benq.com/en/support/mo...e-checker.html (see attached img) this is me CONSTANTLY moving my mouse, those 0 hz is when the website froze up completely which i believe to be due to polling rate , this doesnt happen at 500hz

I remember an issue like this regarding Logitech mice and playing FEAR. The fix was to rename a DirectX lib in the game dir so that the game used the one in System instead.

For starters I would reinstall the June 2010 DirectX package.

With my Dark Core wireless, I am getting about an avg of 900Hz.

Would need more information on your system, OS version, etc.

Same problem here with my MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X.
I'm having a flickering effect with Paint and Adobe Animate CC when I try to drag horizontal scroll-bar with my Corsair Scimitar Pro RGB (and others mouses like Logitech G502 and Razer Naga). If I decrease the polling rate to 125hz the lag goes away.

This problem started on november 2018.

Is there a way to fix it?

[DiazTM]

not as far as im aware

Nice! I start thinking that ours GPUs are defective.

I have a 1060 6Gb ima try plugging that in and see if the problem still persists

Do you still have the problem at 500hz? The difference shouldn't be very noticeable.

At 500hz on csgo for example it feels fine but on apex legends or osu it becomes impossible to play unless im at 125hz

I mean, it just sounds like your CPU is having trouble handling the higher CPU demand from the higher polling rates. There's really not much I can recommend other than running at the lower polling rates.

I only started to notice this problem at the start of the year so idk. I have ryzen 5 1600 so i highly doubt my cpu cant handle high polling rate , i think it has something to do with my drivers but i still havent been able to find or fix it

Try updating your AMD chipset drivers.
