    I'm not quite sure what to call this issue I'm having but on occasion I notice that my inputs in BF1 are delayed which set up a situation where its hard to control during close combat followed by death and profanity ;). I'm not quite sure if the close combat causes this lag or the problem is first noticeable during this situation. The last two times it occurred I shut down the game and tested keyboard inputs in my browser search bar. I notice there was a small pause before typed text appears and if I hold a key down and release several keystrokes happen afterward. A reboot usually fixes the problem. This only happens on my desktop i7920/980ti and not on my GT73VR with ai7 6820/1070.

    My input devices are:

    Orbweaver Stealth: (both systems)
    Logitech G502 :(both systems)
    Logitech G710 (unique to desktop)

    Here is a screen shot of HW monitor and Precision.

    Could be driver related have you looked for the newest drivers for the mouse and keyboard. Its defiantly software related cuz the lag on most wired mice an keyboards is unperceivable.

    All the software is up to date on the devices themselves, I think it may have to do with running EVGA Precision with the monitoring graphs on. If I turned those off the problem seemed to go away.
