Razer Mouse - cursor stutter

slipd · 10 Jul 2022 at 17:18

Hi guys,

As above, I've started to notice this in Windows 10. In game, it's harder to tell.

Any tips? I'm sure I had this before on a different rig and the fix was just to restart - seemed to fix it. I think the mouse did eventually just die though, so maybe it was a warning

Thanks.

Which model & how long have u had it? Be an easy warranty swap if its the mouse. But does the comp stutter itself rather than the mouse? Like high cpu/hdd load? Unplugging the mouse and plugging it back in would check that mostly, a restart would be the PC side. Close any hardware monitoring you have running like temp readouts, rgb software and anything random using background cpu you don't need and see if it keeps doing it.

I had a similar problem with a deathadder 4G sensor one. That it would randomly stutter/non-responsive. It would happen on different surfaces as well. Even cleaning the sensor made no difference.

Unplugging and re-plugging helped for a bit but over time the problem just persisted and this happened on multiple machines (so I knew it was the mouse at fault rather than the machine)

If it is under warranty then sort out a replacement as it will eventually just die (based purely on my experience) - This was a mouse that I did have for a few years using everyday for work.

Thanks both! I've tried the mouse on a couple of machines now and I suspect it may be faulty... it's 3 years old and in daily use and was my primary work mouse during Lockdown so I think I've had my monies worth. Just need a replacement now.

My Deathadder Chroma did similar, I use it in work now where it doesn't matter so much. DA V2 has been awesome.

The stuttering came and went but being unable to reassign custom key biddings remained unfortunately... I've sold it now

Currently rocking a Steelseries with a Razer Viper in reserve.
