Mouse randomly accelerating and decelerating when keys are pressed. Strangest issue ever?

Yes, my cursor will accelerate and decelerate when keys on my keyboard are pressed. This is by far the strangest thing I've ever seen happening, and I can't find a way to solve this for the life of me. I have no idea where to even put this thread.

A little more information. I have my mouse acceleration off. I'm using a CM Storm Xornet mouse and a CM Storm Quickfire XT keyboard. I noticed the problem when I was playing a rythm game called osu! which requires extremely accurate mouse movements.

Whenever a key is pressed while moving the mouse, it'll accelerate and even slow down very often. I used a program to monitor my mouse to cursor movements to see if I was just going crazy, and bam. Green and Red show inconsistencies in the movements. I did some testing and if I repeat everything WITHOUT pressing any keys no green or red appears.

So... How in the world can I solve this? I've tried a few things like using a entirely different mouse and switching to different USB ports but nothing.

Man, I have shelled out this answer so many times this morning. And I know it sounds like a pain in the butt, but you won'r regret it. You need a fresh start. There is some stupid bit of code that came with some software, the mouse, or some other entirely random thing, that is messing with you (I think just for the sake of watching you squirm, LOL). I'd recommend a re-installation of the operating system. A new start never hurts. With it you can be sure that there is nothing that you don't want on the computer (and trust that there are things on your drives that you didn't even know existed). I perform this bit of advice on my system at least once a year, just for the aforementioned satisfaction of a clean system. You could mess around with drivers for the mouse, control panel this, diagnostic that, but you would end up with so much a headache a maybe little result.

I wish you luck.
