Steam Train Sim World 3 Mouse Issue

Noticed this recently when playing LIRR and some UK routes... when in cab and using the default view, when I click and drag on sliders (certain switches), sometimes it doesnt catch (or it blips before catching on), or it interrupts the slider

I tried: - cleaning stuff in a program like Ccleaner (cookies etc)
- plugging mouse off and back in
- redownloading one or more DLCs

it is mostly gone, though - sometimes it still does that

on some forums I read this might be because of an occasional issue between graphics and mouse - like points where the game registers the click, which can differ depending also on player position, I guess?

it might be my OCD lol, but I am trying to determine if it aint a mouse issue

 

Obviously, if the mouse is faulty, the issue would occur on every route, not just some. It would also happen outside of the game.
razmatus#2517 Can you confirm if this is the case?

 

sometimes it helps if I blow a bit of air under the left mouse button, so it could have been dirt in the mechanism (last time)... but then, sometimes it does a lot, sometimes not at all... outside the game dragging the mouse or actions like selecting stuff work just fine

my mouse is Logitech G502 Hero... so dunno, it has like 3 or 4 yrs of age... mostly works fine, I noticed this issue only in TSW

 

Sounds like it's time for a new mouse, then.
As it happens, I am using a G502 HERO myself, bought in August 2017. My son, who plays a lot of FPS games, needs a new one every year. So, I keep an eye on it at Amazon, and buy a "spare" whenever there's a sale on it (usually 40-50% off).

 

I will do some "testing" in different cabs to see how mouse/sliders behave... I hope it is not the mouse... I like comfy ergonomical mouses, and I dont feel like shelling out like 30-50 euros atm :/ ... at least

 

the best mouse I have ever had was Gigabyte GM-M8000X (got the ordinary version and that one broke in a year, got that one as a replacement), unfortunately that model is not made anymore (I still keep it around for memory's sake)... might try to clean it without dismantling it, since I dont want to ruin it before it really goes bad

aaand I guess it is time to look for a new mouse then after, like almost 4yrs O ... will still try to save this one, since new US DLCs are coming around and I want to play em
