Any way to make mouse movement smoother?

Featured Replies

Kind of hard to describe this in the title but what I'm after is to see if there is a way to my mouse cursor (or whatever else it's controlling) smoother. Because I'm dragging the optic mouse it kind of catches and releases as it's sliding across the desktop which here is just formica/laminate. This is very noticeable when doing a walk around during pre-flight, but it's also true for panning with the mouse in the virtual cockpit in MSFS 2024. Just wondering what might reduce or eliminate this tendency for it to stick and release as it's being slid across the desktop.

Cheers

If you use a mouse pad, is it smoother?

Adjusting Core Windows Mouse Settings

  • Open Settings by pressing Windows Key + I.

  • Select Bluetooth & devices on the left menu, then click Mouse.

  • Click on Additional mouse settings near the bottom to open the classic properties window.

  • Go to the Pointer Options tab.

  • Uncheck the box for Enhance pointer precision.

  • Adjust the Select a pointer speed slider to the 6th notch from the left (the exact center, which equals a standard 1:1 scaling multiplier).

  • Click Apply and then OK.

Hardware and Advanced Tweaks

  • Change USB Port: Plug your mouse receiver or wired USB cable directly into a dedicated USB 3.0 or 2.0 port on the back of your computer (motherboard) rather than a loose desktop hub.

  • Adjust Polling Rate: If your cursor feels jittery or laggy, use your mouse's proprietary software (like Logitech G Hub, Razer Synapse, etc.) to lower the polling rate from 1000Hz to 500Hz or 250Hz to test if system stutter disappears.

  • Update Drivers: Check device manager or your manufacturer's website for clean driver updates.

Just going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer. Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱
Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!

Thanks you guys I just realized it's been so long since I used a mouse pad...about 6 years since I moved out here and forgot the old pad! Duh! Yes, the issue is purely mechanical which a good pad would help alot with I'm sure. This laminate desk seems smooth and it is but friction exists and a pad should improve on that.

The best mouse I ever owned is this one. It costs $126 for thirty of them. Or one for $8. The pads are only on the top 2 corners, that's the best arrangement. The cord is tiny gauge and therefore will not drag. The scroll wheel is the smoothest and easiest I have ever experienced.
