I've been experiencing a slight jitter with all of my gaming mice for the past 6 years. Even after upgrading to a new PC and mouse setup, the problem persists. The grounding in my house seems fine, and the electricity isn't terrible, but it's bad enough to cause some jittering on my mouse sensor. It's not a huge lag, but noticeable. Do you think a double conversion pure sine wave online UPS could help eliminate these minor inconsistencies right away?

Just a heads up, if your PC occasionally crashes, that could indicate a different problem altogether. It’s strange that your older PC didn’t have this jitter issue, though. Have you considered checking your mouse settings or even trying a different USB port? Sometimes, that can make a huge difference.
I get why you'd think it's an electricity issue, but honestly, I think something else might be going on here. The jitter could be from a bad mouse pad or possibly because your mouse isn't liking the surface it's on. If it's a wireless mouse, interference from nearby devices could cause problems too. Also, don’t discount software issues; driver updates or compatibility hiccups can lead to erratic behavior.
Honestly, I find it hard to believe that your home's electricity is the culprit for the mouse stutter. Remember, your mouse is powered through your PC, which usually stabilizes the power thanks to the PSU and motherboard. If there were major issues with your electrical supply, I'd expect you'd notice more severe problems like unstable performance or crashes. Instead, consider other factors like the mouse surface. Sometimes, a bad or overly smooth surface can mess with tracking. If you're using a wireless mouse, interference from other devices might also cause these hiccups.
