What the fuck is happening, Sup Forums? I have a Zowie FK.
How do I fix this?
Jayden Mitchell
Let me guess. Windows 10?
Christopher Rodriguez
No. 7. It feels like I have forced acceleration on, even though it's unchecked in windows.
What the fuck is going on? I unplugged my mouse and put it in another port, and it fixed it for a few seconds before going back to the forced acceleration it had before.
Dylan Lewis
What's on the external hard drive, OP? >can't google "turn off mouse acceleration" >doesn't realize problem likely has nothing to do with the external HDD
Jacob Fisher
Mouse acceleration is already off in windows. I have had it off for as long as I have owned this PC. This has everything to do with the external HDD. It's too much of a coincidence that I would notice it at the very moment I plugged it in.

It's the ghost of captain crunch

Maybe re-install the drivers? >This has everything to do with the external HDD. The only way is if it used all of the bandwidth for your USB ports, fucked your drivers, or, you let something auto-run. There is usually some kind of manual configuration you can do if you mess with your drivers also, could have to do it that way. Why do people always think "I did X this MUST be the reason it fucked up!"? Get out, OP. And,

>It's too much of a coincidence that I would notice it at the very moment I plugged it in. nah, this is typical faggot behavior, check the settings again, reset that shit up. Turn it off and on and reboot. Good luck on your future anal exploration adventures

The Zowie FK does not have drivers. I cannot reinstall the drivers. If you're referring to reinstalling the HDD drivers, why the fuck would reinstalling the drivers fix a mouse problem? Why would a HDD even fuck with a mouse in the first place?
>check the settings again pic related >reset that shit What is there to reset? >Turn it off and on and reboot. I unplugged the mouse and rebooted, unplugged the HDD and rebooted, what else is there to do?
Jaxson Bennett
What rpm is that drive? If it's a slow one, there's your problem.

Google says 5400. Could that even affect the mouse? The problem persists after I've unplugged it and uninstalled all the related drivers.

Cameron Bell
The system in general seems slow too? Or no?
Kevin Rodriguez
The HDD drivers. My mistake.
The system is running fine. I haven't run a stress test, but the only real problem is the mouse acceleration.
William Perez
have you tried unplugging the hdd and rebooting?
Caleb Gutierrez
wd is trash. i always buy toshiba harddrives.
wd harddrives always break and shit.
Dominic Nguyen
So far what I've tried: >unplugged the HDD, rebooted >unplugged the HDD, deleted the associated drivers, rebooted >checked/unchecked mouse acceleration via windows >unplugged the mouse, rebooted >unplugged the mouse, and uninstalled the generic plug-n-play mouse driver, rebooted >registry edits to manually remove mouse acceleration, rebooted >several premade registry edits that do the exact same thing I manually did, rebooted
At this point I'm convinced it's in my head, but there still exists the concerning fact that enabling mouse acceleration in the windows panel actually doesn't affect my mouse movements at all.
That, and I'm still misclicking on shit despite all these fix attempts, but that could be placebo and entirely my fault.
Any games I open that have a "raw input" option feel perfectly normal, but windows itself still feels accelerated.
Carson Sullivan
wd hdd is literal shit
Kevin Myers
toshiba is trash, I alwayd buy seagatr
Jason Robinson
i have a 1 tb toshiba harddrive and thing has lasted for 5 years and i dropped it on the ground dozens of times
Ryan Morales
What was in the drive?
Christopher Hernandez
Gay porn because OP is a fag.
Wyatt Martinez
It could be that the mouse is dying. If you didn't have custom settings, try using the mouse on another win 7 machine and see if the problem persists. If so, the mouse is dying
