We have issued a fix to address most of the “mouse lag” issues associated with gaming in Windows 8.1, which vary based on the game, input methods used, etc. More details on the issue and available resolutions are available via KB 2908279, and affected customers can go to the Microsoft Download Center to install the update

That "fix" did not work for me. What helped was to re-install back to windows 8.
In windows 8.1 i ran the mouse movement recorder and all it did was draw red/green lines and max hz was 200hz. Now, when i ran the same program in Windows 8, no more green/red lines and it shows correctly 1000hz. So there is something going on in windows 8.1
heres how i fixed it !
deleted windows 8.1 and went back to windows 7 ! thanks microsoft for no help at all. avoid windows 8.1 if you a gamer stick to windows 8 or windows 7 !
