Mouse Lag

I just bought a Logitech DiNovo Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. They work fine, but the mouse periodically "stalls" and movement lags. What is going on here? Is this a known OS X issue?

I'm betting this is not the root cause, but it won't hurt to ask: Are you using any other wireless devices (like a wireless router or some wireless phones) that may be running on the same frequency as the mouse? Because of the way bluetooth uses frequency hopping it's usually the case that bluetooth would walk over the router rather than the other way around, but maybe worth checking.

Mouse Lag and poor performance. Video Card or Power?

Not specifically a FCP question but related. I recently purchased a new rig. Here are the specs.
2 X 2.93Ghz 6 Core/16GB RAM/ ATI Radeon 5870 video card.
I am having very odd mouse lag problems that are quite annoying. I am also having issues with playing sequences in unlimited RT. A guy in our office can play back better with an quad core. In regards to the mouse problem I have tried several different mouse and keyboard issues including a Wacom tablet and I get the same poor results.
Some people say it could be my video card and some say it could be a dirty power issue. I took the rig back to the store and the tech geek in the back said it worked fine for him but when I showed up with the keyboard and mouse to test it he had boxed up the computer and gone home.
Here is a clip of the screen and the weird jumpy jittery problem I am having.

You can see the mouse and the window I am dragging freeze for a second even though I am mousing smoothly and continuously. The mouse and keyboard and Wacom tablet work perfectly on my old Dual Core.
Any ideas?

According to your video, it's happening in Finder, not just FCP,
so it must be something systemwide.
Is there something running in the background, like Spotlight indexing?
System Preferences > Spotlight > Privacy add your disks to be excluded.
Anything else running in the background?
Anything weird connected to your USB?
Also turn off your Airport or any network connection and repeat the test.

Win7 Client got mouse lag with roaming profiles

Hello!
I got several clients, served by a Win2008r2 AD. Those clients supposed to have roaming profiles. Now if I enable them, there is a mouse lag, like the pointer is always in delay, also if you click, you notice that it takes longer than
normal.
If I logon with a local profile, none of that problem occurs.
No event logs
No change when use a fresh/new profile either
No rootkit/virus etc.
No overheating the hardware etc.
Does someone have an idea where I could look?
How I could diagnose a problem if I have GPO's interfering?
Thanks
Roger

Hi,
are your users potentially running multiple different OS versions?
Do you use custom mouse drivers on some of your hardware?
A possibility I see is mouse configuration information in the userprofile. if that information does not match what is expected, such issues can occur.
If the issue occurs, verify the mouse settings from control panel.

Bluetooth mouse lag

So here is the situation: I have a Macbook Pro (early 2009 model) with an Apple wireless keyboard and a Logitech V270 bluetooth mouse. Recently, I've been experiencing mouse lag (to the point where I can hardly even use the mouse anymore). The lag is intermittent, but is there more often than not. I've been pounding my head searching for a solution to this problem, and after scouring forums and trying different solutions, I gave up completely on finding a remedy. But before I threw in the towel, I tried one more thing: I disabled the bluetooth on the Apple keyboard and tested the mouse. To my amazement, it worked perfectly! I re-enabled the keyboard, and sure enough the lag returned. Now that I have isolated the cause of the problem, I was wondering if anyone had a solution that would allow me to continue using both my keyboard and mouse? (I have my MacBook on a stand, so it would be impractical to not have one or the other).
Any help here would be greatly appreciated!

Update:
Upgraded to 10.6.5 - No difference..
Changed/tried all wifi channels - No change to problem.
Tried a Mac Mouse - slightly less effect but still unusable.
Tried a USB BT dongle type mouse (no using internal BT AP) - Same issue
Tried on a friends Wireless Network - Problem only slightly evident - to be expected as this was a slow network at about 1.9MB/s, a transfer speed that does not show the problem.
Tried using a Netgear wireless intBT mouse router - Problem is only slightly evident on Mac Mighty Mouse, worse on Logitech, evident slightly on ext BT mouse.
With the Wireless nw running a transfer at 3MB/s, this Network speed drops down to a very slow speed when the "Set up Bluetooth Device" utility is initiated.
So given that this issue is also experienced by MacBook owners when using BT mouse while doing a File transfer via USB external HDD, or Time Machine. My conclutions are either:
1.
The USB ports, BT chipsset and Airport Chipset are all using the same data bus in the Macbook.
This data bus is not capable of running a high speed, contiguous data transfer in a single direction AND transfer BT wireless data at the same time. Apple Architects may be able to work around this issue by appling higher priority to BT data transfer tasks (Mouse), as it does when the "Set up Bluetooth Device" utility is running.
or
2. The BT wireless hardare is eisily susseptable to RF interference. This dont explain USB drive influences however.
My best bet is to log a Hardware repair request with Apple, as this is indeed a Hardware issue.

Does anyone get the mouse lag with an external display connected via the display port?

You don't describe the problem in great detail. Is this the issue you are describing?
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4398076?start=0&tstart=0
If so, then, "Yes." I have the same problem. Note that this isn't a tracking speed problem for me, it's a lag between my hand moving and the pointer moving on the external display.

Why do everytime i minimize something my mouse lags (delay move)?

I've got a problem here!
First i started off using windows 7 ,then I've changed my theme into windows classic, then i changed it back to windows 7 and now everytime i click on a minimize button my mouse lags. I'm using a razer deathadder, but i don't think thats the problem because i've used it before i changed it to windows classic and while i was in windows classic ( no mouse lag while i was on windows classic and windows 7 before that) but now my mouse is lagging wen im back on windows 7.

Magic mouse lags bluetooth audio

Magic mouse lags bluetooth audio with cracking and pitch shift.
After Magic mouse disconnected, then bluetooth speakers sounds perfect.
Please help!!!

I have this same issue, but opposite. My audio in my bluetooth headphones sounds great, but when they are connected my bluetooth mouse (microsoft 5000) is all over the place.
What's the deal. I didn't know my $2000 mac would be so inferior to my $800 pc in this regards (otherwise very happy with switch to mac)

Mouse lags

My apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere. I have looked but to no avail.
I am using the 2011 new iMac i5 with 12 GB of RAM and I have tried a wired A4tech Mouse (heavy lag) and a Genius wireless mouse.
I am using Windows 7 via boot camp. I only experience mouse lags during gaming. The mouse works fine for about 5 minutes but then the cursor starts lagging.
The magic mouse works fine though and doesnt lag.
My iMac is connected to the internet by lan.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
In the Memory tab of Activity Monitor, are there a lot of Pageouts?

Bluetooth mouse lags often. Maybe conflicts with Wi-Fi, using same band?

My Bluetooth mouse, a Logitech v470 laser mouse, lags often on my MacBook Pro. I'm thinking that maybe it could be conflicting with my Wi-Fi, which is also enabled, and which uses the same band as Bluetooth – 2.4 GHz? Could this be the reason for the lag? My Wi-Fi also drops sometimes, so I don't know if the two are related or not.
Could someone care to shed some light on this? I've read several other threads on these forums and noticed that other people are having similar issues, and would greatly appreciate a response.
Thanks in advance!

Yes, they can interfere. Try using a lower channel number on Wifi or switch to the 5Ghz channel if possible.

Macbook Pro Wi-Fi causes mouse lag for Logitech MX Revolution

I just got the new 15" Macbook Pro 2.4ghz on Tuesday, October 28th. Yesterday, I tried using my Logitech MX Revolution mouse with it only to discover that it was nearly unusable. The cursor would lag terribly, sometimes sticking in one spot for several seconds and it was often not registering mouse clicks or scrolling. I tried it on my old Powerbook G4 that I had been using it on without issue for over a year. It had the same issue all of a sudden so I tried it on my co-workers 2007 Macbook Pro, he works across the office from me, and the mouse worked perfectly again. Next, I brought my old Powerbook over to his desk to see if there was some interference at my desk, and sure enough, it worked on that Powerbook again. So I then tried disabling the wifi on my new mac and lo and behold, the mouse worked perfectly on that machine.
I've tried switching the channel on our office router (it's a 1TB Time Capsule) a few times and that would help for a few seconds, and then the mouse lag would begin again. I doubt there's a way to change the frequency on the Macbook's wifi card, but if there is let me know. Beyond that, I'm not sure what to do. I will be a little upset if this mouse (which cost me $100) is obsolete because of my Macbook upgrade. There must be a way to get it working again. Ideas? Thanks!

Hi,
I use a new 2,53ghz Macbook Pro togeter with a MX Revolution mouse. I use 2 Airport Extreme base stations in my w-lan and until now see no issues using the mouse.
Do you have the chance to try and check if the same promlem occuors when using an other MX Revolution / receiver combo , maybe there is an issue there.

Mouse lags after changing Harddrive

After i installed my SSD in my Mac Mini and restored the Operation System (Mountain Lion) from my Time Machine Backup i encounter a very strange mouse lag. When i move the mouse, the cursor jumps almost every 3 seconds.
I've tried already a different mouse and different USB Ports. Same problem.
I rebootet the system and checked Activity Monitor for weird Process behaviour, but everything seems fine.
Any suggestions?

I fixed the lagging issue now. It seemed to be an issue with the external monitor. After unplugging the HDMI cabel the lagging stopped.

AfterFX CS6, Timeline Mouse-Lag! (with video description, vimeo)

I created a video of the problem and uploaded it to my vimeo account. Hope it helps to understand:
http://vimeo.com/43892712
Windows 7 Pro 64bit
Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4GHz
8GB Ram
Nvidia GTX 580 Phantom
256 Samsung SSD
Supertalent SSD (Dedicated to Adobe Media Cache and Windows Temp file)
3 HDD(dedicated to Video and Project and exports)
This is a fresh and clean install on the new Samsung SSD (latest firmware), AHCI enabled.
Only system drivers and the whole Production Premium CS6 are installed.
Problem:
There is a clear Mouse lag while clicking and selecting/marking things in the timeline window. The more layers I have and the more keyframes are shown, the bigger the mouse lag is. It is even bigger than in the video with other comps I have.
This happened to me in CS4 (but I guess that was due to an issue with the wacom tablet driver that supposedly was solved with CS5).
But the driver and Wacom tablet aren't even installed yet, and I experienced this lag with CS4, CS5, CS5.5 and now CS6. Even though it was stated that the GUI is accelerated a lot in this release (via an Nvidia GPU). So I bought a new Nvidia Card (GTX 580), and indeed working is more fun now, but the timeline lag still appears. Before I had an GTX 260.
Turning on or off the preference "Hardware accelerate panels" doesn't do any difference. Also "Use multi CPU rendering" doesn't help the lag.
Is this the old processor Core 2 Quad @ 2.4 and the old SATA2 Bus? I'm willing to invest into a new Ivy Bridge CPU and 32GB of RAM (and a new mainboard), but I already did invest into a new GPU , a new SSD, new CS6 (which is supposed to drew faster on the screen in AFX). And it didn't really help the lag issue. SO I just don't want to get disappointed again.
I also tried a different mouse (PS2 cable), but that didn't help either.
Anybody having the same issues?
Any advice or help, please?
Thanx,
Martin

(Sorry to double post)
A couple of other aspects of my AE are a bit off. I have a feeling this may all be interconnected, as they are all GUI related. These other issues are of little consequence, but if it is indeed all connected, it may help troubleshoot the issue.
Firstly is the behavior of scriptUI panels. My AE struggles when drawing ScriptUI panels, sometimes takes 4+ seconds to load the panel, sometimes (rarely) the panel doesnt show at all, throwing an error (I cant remember the exact error). I also get a slight lag when clicking dropdowns and interacting with all ScriptUI panels.
Furthermore, after my inital install, the CTI updates very slowly while RAM Previewing (it's fine while scrubbing). I solved this issue with a bit of help from this thread. It turns out in my AE prefs I had "Time needle update frequency (seconds)" = "0.250000", changing the value to 0.05000 fixed the issue. In that thread it was suggested that perhaps AE automatically set this value on first launch- based off its understanding of the system capability (to save on resources)... If this is correct, AE obviously failed to make a correct evaluation of the system's capability... I wonder what else it "got wrong"?
I just had a look through the prefs file (C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\After Effects\11.0\Adobe After Effects 11.0-x64 Prefs.txt)
There's a bunch of stuff in there, but not knowing "what-does-what" I dont want to mess around in there just yet.
Has anyone else suffering from our timeline issues experienced anything like the above?
Update:
Okay, finally some feedback from After Effects.
Today when launching after effects it has crashed with the following error
This article from Adobe explains the use of GPU in AECS6
OpenGL, the GPU, and After Effects CS6
You'll notice toward the bottom of the article, Level 2 hardware requirment covers hardware acceleration of of composition, layer and footage panels.
Im thinking this really is a problem with AE + GPU. This might explain why swithcing hardware accelerated panels doesnt make any difference to our problem... perhaps its just not working at all. any thoughts?

Flash Player performance slowness and mouse lag

I've been having this problem for a while. I already did the usual google searching and didn't find anything useful. Specifically its games I play on kongregate and other sites. When they are using flash player I tend to get poor performance. If it uses a mouse cursor the mouse lags/skips across the flash player window, when it leaves the flash player area the lag doesn't occur. I dont have problems when I'm in games or general responsiveness of the system, I've plenty of space, low processor utilization, low memory utilization, etc etc.
I have windows 8.1, IE11, the latest flash player, video and system drivers are all the latest and greatest. I've found articles suggesting to turn on/off hardware/software gpu acceleration in IE, it also occurs in Firefox.
ideas?

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try this. Which browser (and version) are you using? My question was as much about the performance of Flash player in a 64 bit environment as it was about the video playback hardware performance. I'm sceptical of the shared video memory and throughput performance of the Intel-based 4500HD graphics package in my laptop. I'm worried that it might not be sufficient for full-screen flash video playback, or for large external displays, so I'm trying to explain the poor platback performance that I'm seeing, and hopefully show that it's not the fault of the video HW.
Which video HW do you have in your dell?
Thanks

Usb wireless mouse lag

Hello!
I have a 2011 macbook pro with 10.6.8.
I'm using a logitech m505 wireless usb mouse, which started to jump around. It's annoying beyond any imagination.
I googled and there are tens of pages and many threads here but no solution. I tried Logitect Control Center, imousefix, steermouse NO LUCK.
I believe mouse lag started a few weeks ago.. any ideas where can I see any installation that may effect mouse driver ?
or any ideas in general, this is the 10.6.8 th version of a operating system used by mostly multimedia guys (graphics designers?).. same mouse issues can't be around since 2006, can be ?
update:
those guys trying to fix sth hopefully soon : http://dae.cyberic.eu/blog/mouse-cursor-skipping-jumping-bug-on-mac-os-x/

There's some additional links at the end of that article which may be additional help.

MSI GT70 - Mouse Lag in games

Hi All,
Working with a stock MSI GT70 (AU edition), Windows 8, etc. And currently experiencing what I can only be mouse lag when playing games. The games themselves run very well (thank you MSI ) but no matter what setting I have tried (graphical or mouse) the mouse is not 'snappy'. I have tried a USB input device (rather than bluetooth) and this makes no difference.
This can occur in hardware intensive games such as Borderlands 2 / Battlefield 3. Or simple 'top down' arcade games.
Hope someone can help!
Cheers

Offhand, what mouse?
What are your frame rates?
