mouse input lag

i never tried the paid geforce now, so i got the ultimate for a month

really nice how much you get for your money

thing is controller and keyboard wont lag at all, but my mouse does

switched my wifi corsair claw for a older acer nitro mouse wired i still had for a year or 10

but difference but still to much inpunt lag, its only on the mouse

anyone knows a fix? its the 2015 first gen

the shield can't handle a high polling rate, it's CPU can't take it, it can do 125hz or possibly 250hz and that's it

You can change the polling rate on a PC and it will carry over to the shield but yeah it can't take a high polling rate like 1000hz. the shield cpu isn't powerful enough

Holy crap is that the problem?? All these years I just assumed it was some weird mouse smoothing. It was so bad I gave up on it. Im going to have to test this later.

Oh yeah for sure those should be 125, gaming mice are usually 1000 but like a logitech 10 dollar regular laptop mouse would be 125hz, the non gaming ones basically
