    I am having "mouse lag" delay when playing diablo 3 maxed performance on my razer blade (native resolution). Anyone having this issue and knows how to solve it?

    No ideas yet, I've noticed the issue and it seems to be due to the resolution. (I've had three blades so far, so I've gone through three diablo installations) Whenever I first load the game at whatever default resolution it's set to, the mouse is fine and snappy, but when I change it to 1800p, it lags a bit. It's not a big issue to me but it would be MUCH nicer to play if it was as responsive as it is at 1080p.

    The mouse seems fine in windows, so my first thought is it's how Diablo 3 handles mouse movement over higher resolutions. I would submit a support ticket to Blizzard but I do not have a blade in my posession currently to pull MSINFO and DXDIAG files off of. I'm pretty sure it's Diablo 3's fault.

    Do you also have the cursor distort when you mouse over clickable objects?

    Are there options for enabling/disabling software or hardware cursor? Or is there an option that is something like "enable fancy cursors"? Falling back to a hardware cursor will typically fix mouse lag issues in games. (Instead of having the game render the mouse cursor, it has the graphics card do it; this comes with the tradeoff that the color/size/shape are more restricted.)

    I experience this as well. Cranking up the DPI on my mouse to 6400 helps to make it a lot less noticeable, but I have not been able to find a way to eliminate it completely.

    i enable vertical sync (both in game and in Nvidia control panel) ,and also disable AA which seem to help. But still can notice subtle lag compare to my desktop with inferior hardware setup....
