Hi Bill

I am using a wireless mouse on both my computers here and don't see the 'latency' you are seeing. Mine are instantaneous, just like a wired mouse. Also use a wireless keyboard on both boxes.

The reason I got away from the wired mouse was that it was a place that allowed RF to get into the computer. I put some torroids on the cable and that helped, but on 20 it gave me fits. Since I went to the wireless mouse I will never go back to the wired one. No problems with RFI now.

Could be it was just the mouse you were using. If possible maybe try another one??? 73

I have been using USB optical mice for years and I have noticed a
certain amount of what I would call "latency" in their operation. In
other words, you have to move the mouse a small amount before the
pointer on the screen moves. It's not very much movement, just a tiny
fraction of an inch, but it's enough to be annoying. No amount of
tweaking the pointer options in mouse properties made a difference.
