Mouse Sensitivity Randomly Spiking When Turning Camera

Community General Discussion

As a disclaimer, I’m not using a Razer. I remember when this problem had first rose up, it was cause of some kind of Razer program that’d start up in the background. I’m using a Corsair Scimitar Pro, and for whatever reason, I’ll be playing WoW, everything’s good, and then I’ll go to turn my character with my mouse and immediately 180 at such a fast speed, it’s mildly nauseating.

I’ve heard this is a bug that’s been popping up for quite some time, and it seems like there’s sixteen different solutions, all of which vary on the person in a random situation and nothing to do with the actual hardware. Can we get some information on this? Anyone have any new fixes that’re more permanent? Because this is driving me nuts.

I have this same problem!

Jeez I thought it was just me.

I’m in the same boat. Glad I’m not alone. I do have a razer mouse though…

It’s not just you, trust. Between the random loading screen issues that popped up about a month ago, and now this? It’s beginning to become a chore just to play because the game’s combatting me all the time.

Yeah it still happens to me and I do have a razer, but it does seem to happen more when Im low to the ground or the ceiling is low, as soon as I turn it just spins too quickly… Ive gotten used to changing camera angle a lot.

If you’re using a razer, and this happens, crack open your task manager via Ctrl. Alt. Delete, and look for a program called Razerengine something or other. Ending that program should fix your issue. That’s one of the more reliable factors.

Thank you very much. Will look into it.

Be prepared that it will happen again though. For Razer, it seems to be a hardware reset malfunction happening while playing the game, and people aren’t sure why. Ending that will make it go through a hard reboot, and will temporarily fix the issue. As soon as it happens again, just do the same process.

But since the same bug is happening for other people with other mice and such, it’s not just Razer. I think Razer’s issue is triggered by something else, and Razer just so happens to have the easy solution.

I’m in the same boat! Scares me when I’m on a skinny walkway because I never know when it will do that. I’ve nearly ran myself off the ramps in Uldir many times. Would be nice to know what’s causing this.

Edit: I guess I should say I’m not using a Razor, just a non gaming mouse.

It’s even worse when I’m in an arena.

“GOING FOR THE KIDNEY!” Turns camera and instantly flops off bridge in Blade’s Edge due to bug.

This has happened to me way too many times, and the people I play with know I’m not that dumb. Infuriating. Thankfully I play with good people.

This happened a few times. I’m using a nongaming mouse from Logitech and sometimes a gentle motion will send the camera turning sharply downward or to the right.

This happens while I am fighting though.

i have this glitch too, don’t know what causes it, but sometimes when clicking the mouse gets reset to the center immediately after mouse press, causing the massive spinning. i can get it to happen if i move my mouse while pressing my mouse button. i used to have a razer a long long time ago, i think it was a previous OS so i don’t know if it has to do with their drivers causing a conflict, but i’ve been using a logitech g502 proteus since 2014 and it still happens.

Using a Corsair Scimitar and I have the same issues. Never had it in any other game. Tried the suggestions put out on the forum already and it still happens. Thought about locking all my mouse profiles to the same sensitivity?

I didn’t think of this…I wonder if this is actually something worth investigating and using. I’m gonna try it!

Edit: Come to think of it. I think you’re right. What if the background program involving Corsair is having a conflict, kind of like Razer had with WoW, but it manifests in a different manner. What if the background conflict here is that using Middle Mouse 4 and Middle Mouse 5 has an internal conflict where even though you’ve removed the functionality from the background program of iCUE, WoW still reads it as DPI changes, thus causing the camera to wig tf out.

Son of a biscuit.

This has been happening to me in WoW for years with a variety of mice from different companies. I always thought I was just twitching my hand too fast or something. It’s good to know I’m not totally crazy.

I have this occasionally too. Just started a week or two ago.

Doesn’t appear I was right about the Corsair DPI thing. I logged on my rogue, and the same issue popped up all over again. But on my warrior, I was fine. This seems completely random, and is incredibly annoying.

I thought it was just me needing to get a new mouse :joy:

My friend has it happen to him, I’ve never had it happen to me. We both have the same Razer Naga.

Here i thought i was just going crazy. I’m using a logitech g600 mouse. Used razor before, just found some left over programs and uninstalled them. Maybe that was it… hopefully.
