I know this doesn’t address the technical questions asked or the concerns prompted, but if your mouse is causing your games to have performance issues…
It’s not a high-end mouse.
Yeah, yeah OK polling rates, etc. Whatever. But honestly, PC gamers have been mostly fine for over 20 years of dealing with mouse input. Some major engines didn’t even support raw input until after the mid-2000s.
You can put a V8 on a Corolla… but if the curb weight changes and the torque eats up your tires, well, what did you expect? It’s just idiot engineering.
Early USB keyboards and mice were inferior to their PS/2 counterparts and it took a good few years for those issues to be overcome. Keyboards with N-key rollover and mice with decent resolution have tangible benefits for many types of games over their bargain-bin counterparts. It doesn't take much money to get to good enough, but that doesn't mean everything out there is good enough.
