Hello!

Recently, my Razer Mamba mouse has been stuttering/lagging. When I move my mouse, my cursor will sort of "jerk", instead of moving smoothly.

I have tried unplugging the mouse out of my computer, and then plugging it back in, and it seems to make the problem less severe, but it will gradually get to a state of unusable.

My OS is Windows 7 64bit, and my mouse is a Razer Mamba. I have had this mouse for around 9 months. Also, I'm not sure if this has anything at all to do with this, but recently, the room that my computer was in lost power for a split second, causing my computer to shut off immediately then turn back on afterward. Oh yes, I've never had this problem in the past, and I have tried rebooting, and reinstalling the drivers for my mouse.

Also, this is my first post, so if I messed up, or didn't give enough information, please tell me. :)

Try different USB ports. Maybe the one it's currently plugged into was damaged. If the problem persists with other USB ports, try connecting the mouse with a powered USB hub. If that fixes the problem, then that's good for your mouse woes, but it could also mean you have a damaged motherboard, failing to deliver steady 5v power.
