Mouse Cursor Often Gets Stuck to Side of Screen

Hi

Just brought myself a new laptop with a nVidia GTX 980 8GB CPU.

I've noticed that when playing the game and I go into the settings screens, such as graphics settings, my mouse cursor is stuck to the left side of my screen. I can move it up and down but not away from the screen, unless I press the TAB button, which then seems to place the mouse cursor in the centre of the screen and then it's okay. Until I go back into the settings menu, then it's stuck to the side again.

Whilst actually on the game screen playing the game I seem to notice no proplems.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

Does your mouse work normally in windows and other games?

With 2.1 they added a graphic setting for mouse cursor mode.
Try checking that.

Odd. For the hell of it, try unplugging and reinserting your mouse, preferably after a reboot of your pc. Stranger things have happened... :)

Thank you :)

I don't know remember what the mode is called but since I use a eye tracker I use an in game render mode for the mouse cursor otherwise it would move around as I read the text.

Using this is too have this where cursor sticks to one side

But usually violently wiggling the mouse fixes it.

had something similar but not in elite.
if I had my x52 pro plugged in games like Satellite Reign and Broforce, it would force my mouse into the top left corner and I would have to alt tab out.
this leads me to think that your issue is with a connected device or a control scheme in your control panel.
its not much help but may lead you in the right direction to finding out what your issue is.
