Windows 8, Lenvo USB 3.0 dock = lag + fuzzy image

Sorry for the delay. Yes! I just checked this with the video method you mentioned Wim. Video + mouse froze at same time.

ALSO though, the mouse speed lags without video problems. For example, I move the mouse around and it doesn't always move at the same pointer speed. Sometimes it moves very, very slow and has this "lead" feeling to pointing around. I have the mouse settings on my computer for "Motion Settings" all the way to fast. Sometimes I have to pick up my mouse to get it to move to the other side of the screen... (meaning I have to pick it up, move it to the right side of my mouse pad, then move it again to the left to get it to track across the screen all the way to the left).

I'm on a similar set-up getting mouse lag and blurry icon/text when connected to my port replicator.

Set-up:
Lenovo X1 Carbon Touch running BIOS 2.53
Lenovo USB Port 3.0
2 Samsung 2043BWX Monitors connected via DVI
Running DisplayLink Driver 7.2.46733.0 - This is what is showing after installing the most recent 7.2 M1 drivers

Experience:
The mouse feels like it is running on a low FPS setting. Similar to the mouse movement you get your system drags running a video game at low FPS. There are input delays and mouse freezes. Working with this lag is near impossible for long periods due to always having to do tiny movements in the mouse to correct for the lag.

Fuzzy images text occur when there are changes on the screen. The best example is changing folders in Outlook. Clicking on a new folder results in all the text in the program flickering through two or three different levels of blur. This also happens to taskbar icons.

I'm not seeing the video hang ups other are reporting, the system as a whole just seems to be running very slow.

little update....

I found another mouse in the closet - was using a Microsoft wireless keyboard 3000 v2 and Microsoft wireless mouse 5000 that use a single dongle.

I got out another mouse - Microsoft wireless mouse 5000 that has a separate dongle to itself. Working fine so far! Will update if it degrades.

Updated to the latest 7.2 M1 drivers and still experiencing the same behavior.

Hi All

I've attached a development build of 7.2 M1 but includes a fix for the momentary screen freezing that I suspect is responsible for some of the "mouse freezing" or "mouse lag" posts on here.

As a reminder, if you are using a wireless mouse, make sure you are not getting USB 3.0 interference as covered in this article.

Please let me know if this improves the mouse behaviour.
