Whenever move my mosue across a web page or video or something, everything starts to lag. When I keep it in the same spot, everything is normal. This has only happened with the Logitech g400 which I got yesterday.

does it make that noise in windows like you just plugged in a new device?

try turning the mouse over and mess around with the wire/cord and see if the laser cuts out. pretty strange it would die in 1 day.

there's no noise and everything with the mouse works fine except for this, when i checked my cpu usage when i moved it around fast it went from 3% to 9%. it doesnt happen in games.

edit: it's not happening anymore, right after i posted this lol

Hi b33f. I have a neat little trick I learned a while back.

Every time you unplug and plug-in a usb device, windows creates a driver package for that device and stores it somewhere. Even if you are plugging in the same device you've used before, it often creates a whole new driver setting for that device and keeps it stored.

This can create a ton of unused "phantom devices" floating around.

I have absolutely no idea if this is what your problem is, but this can clean up your hardware drivers and could maybe rule out something as a possibility.

Go to the page I've linked below, it will show you how to remove phantom devices. Follow the instructions very carefully.

Hint: when you get to the device manager, you'll be looking for greyed-out devices under the "mice and other pointing devices" section.

Also it won't hurt to look for greyed-out devices under your keyboard and HID section.

Shout out to jp_ for showing me this a while back.

Holy shit I'm stupid. Sorry

Even if your problem appears to be fixed, it's a good idea to go ahead and do this. You'll be amazed at how many unused devices are sitting in there.
