Random Mouse Stutter/Lag Windows 11

In the two days since I moved the Logitech dongle from the back of my computer to the front following your suggestion, I haven't had mouse and keyboard input seize up for seconds at a time. That had been happening at least twice a day. I suspect the inability of the dongle to maintain a connection with the mouse was the issue.

Kudos on your keen observation skills. I hope this is a solution for all dongle users.

I only paid $70 for the mouse. I needed it to have the ability to program the buttons. Also, it is a very confortable mouse to use. My Microsoft mouse had programmable buttons; but had the bluetooth jitters.

Hopefully these options will allow many jitter-buggers to sit-out future dances.

I found a related solution on my Win11 desktop with a brand new (but jittery) Logitech wireless mouse. Actually, I had the same skip/jitter problem with a low-cost Amazon-purchased mouse, and with a years-old Logitech mouse or two.

I clued in, not by buying an expensive mouse as drol1950 did, but by noticing that my mouse pointer on-screen would freeze when the physical mouse was pointing toward the right back corner of my (physical) desk. When aimed toward the left back corner, the mouse was jitter-free and responsive. I use a mouse with either hand, and the tipoff was the way it would jitter and freeze when I used my left hand but less when I used my right.

Aha!! It worked smoothly when the physical mouse was pointing *toward the dongle*! Well, not quite. The wireless dongle was on the back of my computer box, which was *under* my desk and toward the left back corner. Straight-line distance from dongle to mouse was only two feet, but the signal had to pass through the metal computer case and a desk drawer of solid oak on its way to the mouse.

I switched the mouse dongle to the *front* of my computer box. Problem solved -- smoothest mouse you ever saw.

I wish it were that way for me. I have used a Microsoft precision mouse which is Bluetooth and a couple others that are Bluetooth and I have the same problem all the time.

The reason I went to this gaming mouse and use the dongle was to see if I could get anything to work and it did. I have had absolutely no jitter with my mouse at all with the gaming mouse. I will at times turn on the Bluetooth mouse that I have and it goes right back to jittering. Turn the Bluetooth mouse off and the dongle mouse works perfectly.

I feel fairly certain that there are a large number of people that have this problem, but statistically it may not be that great based on all the windows users. So therefore I assume many have no problem with jitter. But it seems a good number of people do.

What Bluetooth mouse are you using with your system? Have you ever encountered this problem at all? If you haven't maybe you're one of the lucky many.

Thanks for the information.

Actually, I found that by using a true Bluetooth mouse, instead of a wireless that uses a USB dongle, everything is fine. It seems the USB port connection simply isn't stable.
