So for a long while I've been encountering this issue in Overwatch where my mouse briefly freezes up on me when I'm aiming side to side. As you can expect, this makes aiming a nightmare sometimes cause I have to fight with my mouse to get it to go as far as I want it to. This doesn't happen all the time in games but it does happen frequently and i noticed a similar problem in the menus as well as outside of the game in some instances. I've contacted Blizzard support with all these details and they are unsure of what is causing the problem either.

One culprit that I suspect might be the mouse itself. It's a cheap wireless one that my parents got at Walmart for like $10 a few years ago. Here's the product page for it: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Onn-Wireless-Optical-Mouse/16794999

I've also recorded this video replicating the issue in the training grounds but this has happened to me with every hero on every map in every game mode.
