Hi everyone,
I have a serious problem that came up completely out of the blue. It’s been happening for the past two or three days. Every time I move the mouse and the controller at the same time, the frame rate drops significantly and the game starts to stutter. This happens in every game I play, including Apex Legends, For Honor, and PvZ GW2.
This is very annoying because I use scripts/macros in games. I play with a controller, but my macros and scripts use the mouse, which causes my FPS to drop every time. I don’t know what’s going on because I didn’t have this problem before.
My Specs:
CPU: Ryzen 5 3600
GPU: MSI RTX 2060
Mouse: Razer DeathAdder V2
Controller: Xbox Elite Controller
Windows Version: 11
What I’ve noticed:
It doesn’t matter which USB port I plug the Xbox Elite controller into
I connected a PS4 controller for testing, and nothing changed
In Apex Legends, my steady FPS drops from 165 to 120–130 when I use the script
In For Honor, my steady FPS drops from 185 to 30/40 when I move the mouse and controller at the same time
In Ready or Not and Deep Rock Galactic, I haven’t noticed this issue
When I constantly move the mouse and controller at the same time, my ping spikes slightly, but I’m not sure about that
What I’ve already tried (none of it worked):
Lowering the mouse polling rate to 125Hz/250Hz/500Hz.
Disabling “GameInput Service” and “GameInput Redist Service” in Services.msc.
Reinstalling Xbox Controller drivers via Device Manager.
Resetting BIOS to defaults (and ensuring UEFI/D.O.C.P. is correctly set).
Disabling Steam Input and various overlays (NVIDIA, Discord).
Moving USB devices to different ports.
I rolled back to the previous Windows update.
I reinstalled the graphics drivers.
Reinstalled Xbox accessories.
Updated Razer Synapse.
I’m out of ideas because this is incredibly frustrating, and there aren’t any guides on YouTube.
