Strangest thing, the other day I was gaming on my m14xr2. I plugged my mouse into the left USB port so pull in some of the slack (5 foot cord)
I fired up titanfall and the game was lagging like crazy, I checked my video settings (lowest) I checked my nvidia settings, everything looks great there. So I restart and try again.... still lagging really bad.
I plug the mouse into the right side ports and everything is great.
Havent gone into any diagnostics yet as I wanted to see if any of you guys had some thoughts.
BTW, this is a fairly fresh install of windows too.

It could be the driver. Have you tried reinstalling it?

I thought it might be the drivers, so I plugged some other things into the port, games ran just fine.
Its odd that the usb 3 ports work great with the mouse, but the single usb 2 port doesnt seem to like the mouse. -
Want to revisit this a little bit. I fired up titanfall last night on the m14xr2. Everything looked like it was going to be ok. But there was stuttering, lag, mouse lag was terrible. I restarted and tried again... still the same, thought it might be the mouse, so I unplugged the mouse and restarted again. I tried the game with the trackpad... still the same.
Nvidia shows the 650 running, at the settings im at (lowest) even the intel hd4000 should be able to run the game.
Anyone know what may be going on here?
Left USB port causes massive lag?
