    USB Desktop Fan is making my Microsoft Wired Mouse Lag


    The desktop USB fan I am using when turned on has started to cause the mouse cursor to lag. I would like to know what the reason is behind this.

    Should I just get a new mouse?

    I suspect that the USB fan may be overloading the USB port. I would connect it to a powered USB hub.

    You might also try connecting it to another USB port.

    It was not having this problem with a previous mouse, I have tried other ports and the same thing happens.

    I found out the culprit, I had the plug my USB fan into the USB port on the back of the computer!

Hi all. The mouse is very hesitant 90% of time, hard to highlite stuff, not moving across screen obediently as it should etc. Something is wrong. I have swapped the mouses from PC to PC. It's to do with WIN7 - not the mouse itself. On the old XP I'd whip out a Reg. tool like PC Tune Up or...
I've just put 4*USB extensions around the side of my room (concealed within cable magic) so I can use a wired mouse & keyboard at my desk rather than wireless. Will I notice any difference in gaming i.e. Lag in FPS games? The cables are not active repeaters. Thanks.

Sometimes when connecting an optical USB mouse in Win 7 Utimate it does not work, although the laser comes on. Could this be a hardware issue? If yes, is it the laptop, or the mouse?
