Hi everyone,
I've posted similar threads before on various forums and haven't had too much help, this forum seems more appropriate
Anyway so like many of you I game on my PC, I had a standard PC bought for me around 2-3 years ago which I planned to upgrade over time.
So after a while of owning this PC (AMD A8-5500 with AMD graphics) I was really happy I could game fine and play games like Arma 2 etc etc. With the PC was the bog standard mouse and keyboard nothing fancy with a cheap mouse pad.
Now I'm not entirely sure when it was but I bought my first gaming mice a MadCatz RAT 3, I found it great and started to play really well in games like (Black Ops 2, Battlefield) etc.
But over time something changed about my aim, all of a sudden I went from being a pretty decent FPS player to an average / bad.
What had happened was a mystery, but after that point I could no longer naturally aim. Since then til now I have altered out every component in my PC and changed OS etc. along with programs to check mouse acceleration was off likewise v-sync and many other things.
So after a while I started to guess it was my new beloved mouse, I still own the mouse today (still working). I thought well maybe the sensor isn't right so what I did was purchase another mouse which I believe was either the Razer Deathadder 2013 edition or the Anker 8200 DPI mouse, so after buying one of these mice I thought let's get back to business.
So I started gaming again but very soon I noticed things weren't right still they were different but
notbetter.
I did some research and thought once again maybe it's the new mouse I must be very unlucky, so yet again I bought another mice.
This time the Deathadder so I thought well this has got to be fine, NOPE it felt the same.
So after this ordeal I thought well it must be a hardware problem right?
I changed out: CPU, GPU, (2 now) HDD, RAM, PSU,(2 new)Motherboard (twice).
So as you can see a lot of money has been spent, but still nothing has changed.
When I watch anyone on YouTube or Twitch or even try out another PC, they all seem to operate the seem way in how the cursor responds to individuals movement; whether or not they play PC games a lot or have just started; they all seem to grasp aiming quickly because of the precision of mice.
To put it simply in any game or any application (including Windows) my mice don't have 1-1 correlation with any setting or configuration.
They all seem to have "smoothing" "lag/delay" or "acceleration" both positive and negatively.
So is there anything that could be causing issues?
Or is it simply every mouse I own is defective?
Many thanks in advance,
Luke
