Hi guys not sure if this is in the right forum but can't find one for peripherals so posting in components.

I bought a Cooler Master Inferno gaming mouse last week, it arrived today. Anyway installed it all fine, updated drivers fine. Booted up my game, everything was fine.

This is the first time i've used a gaming mouse before I just stuck to a 10 quid optical from B&M Bargains or something.

I could tell straight away a significant improvement, aiming was smoother and easier love how i can just switch profiles to raise or lower the DPI while shooting moving targets etc.

Satisfied and happy with it working I turned my speakers on, turned them up.. suddenly my screen was jerking all over the place. Left right up down the game was unplayable the view was jerking all over.

I've tried turning down sensitivity, turned down the DPI all the way down to 500 to see if it was that but nope.

So I've bought a gaming mouse that is completely unusable if you like playing games with sound??

Just wondered if anyone here had similar experiences with the cooler master INFERNO mouse or any twin laser mice in general and have any advice? Are there any special mouse mats you can buy that stops the vibrations from speakers or something I need to do in settings to turn down the laser sensitivity??

What a complete waste of money it wasn't cheap either. What kind of company would make a gaming mouse you can't use unless you like playing on MUTE.

Even if I turn the sound on low, one grenade blast, one rifle shot etc the screen jerks everywhere.

Thanks a bunch in advance for any advice/tips or personal experiences that could help me - particularly if it solved the problem for you.

I assume they are USB speakers? There is no way that a analogue speaker would cause that, but USB speakers, sounds like a conflict on the USB. Try moving the post of something

Do you have the most up to date firmware for the mouse? I have found with certain firmwares on my CM storm spawn the mouse laser gets way to sensitive. So much so that I can't lift up on it without my mouse cursor flying halfway across the screen.

I'm with geto on this.

No proper speakers Altec Lansing ADA 995 5.1 thx certified surround sound speakers.

It's the vibrations from the speakers that causes my crosshair/cursor to jerk everywhere all over the place because the twin lasers of the mouse are too sensitive. I've turned DPI all the way down to 500, USB polling rate to 125, even turned mouse sensitivity to the lowest possible.

Soon as I try playing music while browsing or as soon as I try playing a game that's it the cursor starts bouncing all over the place, I've got a Corsair vengeance gaming mousemat. I know it's the laser sensitivity, I turn the music down it's fine, turn it up and that's it one thud from the bass or speakers and wheeeee my crosshair's flying all over the place in the middle of trying to shoot someone :lol:

I've got the latest firmware, Googled to see if there were any custom/opensource firmware for it that could let you tweak the laser sensitivity better but no luck.

I think I may just have to return it and buy an old fashioned optical :( you'd think a company who makes gaming mouse would have the common sense to know that whoever buys it probably has a decent sound card and a decent set of speakers as.. they're a gamer -_-

Thanks for the replies guys I appreciate it :)
