If the pointer is moving a fraction after you move the mouse then the answer may be a trojan/virus in your system.

To test, close all applications to rule out CPU/Memory load as the cause and see if the lag still occurs by moving your mouse left and right in quick, single jerks on the desktop. If it still happens then maybe some malware has inserted a program between your mouse (and video/keyboard) driver and the processor to remotely monitor your actions. This can cause the delay.

I wouldn't trust any currently installed AV software since it may be compromised.

How do you add a mouse to a computer?

It depends if it is wireless or with a cord. If it has a cord, simply plug it into the computer using a usb plug on the back of the computer. If it is wireless, turn off the computer, turn off the mouse, turn the computer on, wait for the computer to ask for a mouse, then turn on the mouse, and the computer should pick it up within a minute or so.

Turn A Wireless Mouse Off Before Replacing The Batteries?

You always want to turn the wireless mouse off before you replace the batteries. The top rated laptop computers use Bluetooth technology to connect to the mouse, and it can become confused if the batteries are suddenly taken away. It will think that the mouse is still connected to the computer even though it is not. You will then have to restart the computer to reset it. If you turn the mouse off, you can avoid this problem.


Do you have to separately turn of the mouse and keyboard after shutdown on a mac?

You don't usually have to turn off the "mouse and keyboard" at all. On some models of the mac, the power button was on the keyboard, but pressing it starts the computer, it doesn't turn off the keyboard. If you have a wireless keyboard/mouse, then if you don't turn them off they're still running on battery power. The batteries won't last as long if you don't shut them off, but you don't HAVE to do it.

How do you get connection back on wireless mouse for iMac?

Turn the mouse off by flipping the on/off slider on the bottom of the mouse to the off position. Replace the batteries, turn the on/off slider to the on position and set it down in front of you iMac. Wait for it to connect. If for some reason it does not want to connect, force quit your Mac by holding the power button down. Turn your Mac back on and it will connect. If not, there is something wrong with the mouse. Of course you must have bluetooth turned on and it must be discoverable. You can check to make sure this is the case by clicking the bluetooth icon on the top right of your desktop screen.
