PSA To anyone who's mouse movement feels -sluggish-

[NorroW]

ITT:
I'm one of a small group of people seemingly, who have noticed that moving your mouse in csgo/cs2 feels wonky. Somethings off.
Like, your sensitivity from cs:source doesn't quite translate right.

Try this;
Launch CS2.
Join a match, move around, feel your mouse movement.
Close CS2.
Launch CS:Source.
Join a match, move around, feel your mouse movement. (Ensure same sensitivity, no mouse accel)
Feels smoother, right?
Close CS:Source.
Launch CS2.
Join a match, move around, mouse feels like CS:Source.

You're welcome

When you say sluggish, do you mean the mouse movement feels like choppy 60fps even though I have a high refresh monitor and am getting over 200fps?

[NorroW]

No, that would indicate that your mouse's polling rate is too low

My polling is 1000 and CS2 feels like 60fps even though I am getting 200fps on a 240hz monitor. CSGO never felt like this.

What cpu u have? Maybe 1% lows are really low thats why u get that 60hz feeling.
Make sure u have bios setup correctly

Make sure the game's vsync is off, make sure you're using raw input, make sure like he said above, bios settings are proper because Meow is correct.
If you have the CPU 'protection' settings on, if your RAM isn't allowed to function at full capacity (you have to set your memory profile clocks in bios)

My best recommendations; check the usb port you're using is 3.0, and on your motherboard not the case, double check game video settings, vsync and other settings can cause this.
Otherwise, sounds like could even be a driver fault.

I've had different versions of this issue from choppy mouse to choppy monitor movement because of my own negligence in the past

I think I just discovered the issue while diagnosing horrible stuttering in FarCry 3. Hyper-threading/Multi-threading. I turned that off on my MoBo. CS2 runs butter smooth now and so does FarCry 3. I don't remember ever turning that on, but maybe it was on by default when I bought the board. I just got it last fall. I know Hyper-threading/Multi-threading has its place, but I believe that most of my games now have improved performance. I would have never thought of this until reading something about how Hyper-threading/Multi-threading affect FarCry 3 negatively.

It's because your processor specifically is likely 4 physical cores, 4 threads. or something like this

If you have like I do, a 5600x ryzen 5 which is 6 physical cores, and 12 threads. If I had this setting off I would lose performance
