I always have my FPS and TR turned on and recently I've been noticing this.

I get random FPS drop for a second, cursor jumps suddenly because i'm constantly moving my mouse.

This is pretty annoying and affecting the game when i'm playing intense.

I'll need some time to convert video into gjf.
Here's one I just made.

Cursor jumps when I try to rally point to my wraith

About to add barracks, but FPS drop with cursor jump together and me becoming clumsy

Hopefully Blizzard take this seriously and fix this problem.

I had some cursor glitchy movements throwing me off a lot in my games recently too but I thought maybe it was my mouse dying or me being rusty or something but it does seem to be about the same as that now that im paying attention to my mouse a bit more

I had this issue as well, I think it's totally gone now, I did these but not sure what actually fixed it:
- change to full screen mode instead of windowed FS
- disable Vertical Sync
- try also disabling the FPS cap, but I have it on now and it works fine

You can check if anything changed or not by going on battle.net and moving the mouse through the friend list, it should have an instantaneous hover effect with no lag.

I've been playing SC always on fullscreen mode. No V-Sync. I tried out disabling FPS cap, but it didn't help me at all.

Try the opposite then, use fullscreen-window mode and enable VSync... even try windowed mode.

Sounds like a brood war specific issue, but recently my mouse cursor was also jumping even without being in starcraft. I plugged my mouse into a different USB port and the jumping went away, so maybe there was dust or something in the port.

I had the same problem. It stopped once I had my PhysX settings in nvidia set to my gpu instead of default to cpu.
Maybe it will help some of you out.

Disabling FPS cap leads to more latency because your gpu will work full-time and cause a buffer. Always cap your fps so your gpu and cpu never work at full load.

No, I'm pretty sure it's completely different. From what I remember, is that the setting in nvidia under Surround and PhysX config is set to auto select. Which will choose "the optimal processor". Which basically means, depending on which of the 2 GPU or CPU has less % in usage, that one will be prioritized. This can sway from GPU to CPU depending on what you're doing.
The switch then causes a brief input lag.

Endgame XM1, its amazing. The coating and the clicks are great, so is the shape. It's a tad too big for my hand (-1~2mm in length and -.5mm in width would be the perfect size for me) but i'm willing to forgo that because everything else is perfect.

But yea if it was just a bit smaller and like 10g lighter (it's still light @ 70g, no holes or anything) it would be the ultimate mouse for me. For reference I'm a hybrid palm/claw gripper, hand size is about 18x9.

I've had so many issues with this game lately so it looks like it's game related but personally don't remember my cursor acting weird. Are you sure it's because of BW, not your mouse, your PC? Try another mouse to make sure which thing causes the problem.

Read it again, so you mean it's because of FPS drop? Try to cap FPS, there's no point having more than 100 (even 60 is enough if your monitor doesn't support) and make sure you're not streaming. Ppl've been reporting lately this patch uses 90% of RAM so it's clearly must be patch.

i7 8700 16GB RTX2060 500GB SSD 2TB HD is more than enough for 1 desktop streaming with gaming on 1080p60FPS (heavy game programs like PUBG, Overwatch).
My mouse has nothing to do with this since I'm not using wireless mouse.

Wowow, it helped me with feel of heavy mouse, now mouse works better on 100 fps cap than 200 fps no cap. Thanks.
