mouse cursor constantly pulling up and re-centering itself, however ONLY in games

[John_Simon_Nahas]

As title says, I’m having a problem with mouse in games.

I am on a laptop, and the same issue applies to the touchpad.
I have reset, shut down, run anti virus, checked mouse drivers, restored to a recent backup where the mouse was working fine and yet the problem persists.
I have no idea how to address it.
Please help.

I thought it could perhaps be direct X? but im not entirely sure.

When you use the mouse, try tuning off the touchpad.

What model mouse? Wireless or wired?

[John_Simon_Nahas]

wired mouse. happens regardless of touchpad being enabled and mouse being plugged in. It’s definitely not a hardware issues, I’ve tested it as much as possible.

Nevermind. I’m an idiot. I had a controller connected and even though no buttons were being pressed, it was messed up. Just had to disconnect and reconnect.
