    Bought a shiny new mouse (Microsoft Sculpt Mobile Mouse) and it is great... except for the fact that it lags/freezes for a second or two about every minute or so... it is infuriating. I feel like burning it in a raging fire right now. Tried disabling power saving options such as telling Windows not to turn off the Bluetooth adapter to save power etc. but the lag is still happening. Latest drivers on everything. All Windows updates installed. Anyone know any solutions? Windows 8.1.

    increase the polling rate? I assume the mouse is within a meter or two of the connection source.

    It could be interference from other things in the area, have you tried to use it in a different area yet to verify its not outside interference?

    I can confirm this issue does not affect my older Samsung laptop. It works fine with that one.

    Hmm.. Strange.. Never seen an issue like this..

    On that note, I need to troll a bit and say...

    Should have got an Asus G751 :D... It just seems gigabyte/arorus can't make a laptop which doesn't overheat or has problems..

    P.S: I've read about the issues your'e having in another thread and am sorry to hear about that but no malice meant in my post.. Wish you the best of luck in getting it sorted out...

    I've discovered it was a hardware fault in the laptop itself regarding a malfunctioning Intel AC 7260. Requested a return & refund.
