L4D mouse stuttering

Alright, well up until about a week ago everything was fine.

However, now my mouse "freezes" intermittently in game. I can still walk/strafe perfectly fine, but trying to turn while doing so doesn't work, ranges from between less than 1 and 3 seconds...

Mouse: MX Revolution (batteries are full, no "freezing" on the desktop at all
KB: Logitech Illuminated Keyboard
CPU: Q9300
GPU: ATI 4830
Ram: 2x2GB OCZ DDR2
HDD: 150GB Raptor
PSU: 550W Antec TP2.0
DoubleSight DS-265W monitor

So.. what gives? I'm on wireless, but pings are fine. Also my FPS never dips below 40... usually pegged at 60.

I heard something about video card drivers not being able to redraw the cursor in 3D mode sometimes... should I upgrade to 9.4s (I'm on 9.3s right now).

I just don't understand why it broke recently...

Thanks for any help.

have you tried disabling multi-core performance?

No, I haven't; I was under the impression that the mutlicore stuttering caused the WHOLE game to stutter/exhibit audio looping. My audio is fine, everything it is fine but sometimes I can't turn left/right/up/down. And this problem is recent.

I guess I can try tomorrow and report back...

Sounds like vsync is on. Try turning it off.

This actually probably is the issue; I recently upgraded to a 1920x1200 monitor (from 1680x1050), and I think that's when the issue started occuring. Double buffering is on, maybe my vid card is getting a little behind itself. I'll try this first, if it doesn't work, I'll try disabling multi core. I'll report back later this weekend.

Thanks.
 
there could be interference with your mouse and something else. I know for my g7 mouse i would get random interference which would cause things like you have mentioned. I have since then switched to a g9 wired mouse and have had zero issues.

i would recommend trying a wired mouse and seeing if the problem still exists.
 
Hate to state the obvious, but do you have a dog or cat hair stuck in the mouse optics? I have a Golden and an Eskie and that's a constant problem for me.

This happens to me quite a bit Daverino. If I ever have mouse issues, first thing I do is blow on the bottom and look for any foreign objects in there.

Interesting, that is exactly what I do to after an all-night blow/orgy party.

Mouse works fine on the desktop; double checked and there's no problem.

As mentioned, mouse works fine on desktop, can't see why router would be causing a problem only when I'm in a game.

SP mode does the same. Tried CS:S same problem. Haven't tried non-source games yet.

VSYNC and multicore didn't do anything to rectify the situation. :\
