So as many gamers (at least PC Gamers) will probably know by now, the pointer is by far the most important thing to play maly First-Person games, or any games that require a mouse and keyboard to play. My dilema is that my mouse won't move when each letter is "Typed".
This problem didn't occur until I upgraded to Windows 10. I have tried (almost) every solution found on the Internet, as well as many different search phrases, to find a solution to this problem. I have tried changing the palmcheck values in both the mouse properties and the registry to no avail. I would love it if ANYONE would be nice enough to help me.

Hi Perseus,
can you post some more information please. Computer specification and make/model of mouse would be really handy. Does this happen in a particular game or all games?

By this do you mean when trying to move the cursor up, down, left or right?

The touchpad is the average Synaptics PS/2 Port Touchpad (Palmcheck all the way down and everything, by the way). The computer (laptop, netbook, etc.) is a Toshiba Satelite C55D-B5308 (previously running Windows 8.1, now running Windows 10).

As for the pointer not moving until after few milliseconds (after i push a button), this happens anytime a letter/number/special character is typed, which also occurs with the arrow keys. No specific games (unless if a computer is one humongous game, which I highly doubt)

Looking at the drivers again i noticed there were two downloads for the touchpad driver does it make any difference if one is used and not the other?
Also have you tried plugging in a mouse and seeing if acts the same way?

I don't have any external mouse devices (unless if a controller counts)... and I'm sure that there isn't much of a difference between the two... Hmm... This is going to be tougher to figure out than I thought...

Ultimately you may find that a clean install will fix the issue. Upgrading can often introduce bugs where normally there isn't any so it's always worth trying a clean install once you have your windows 10 key. Also make sure that Windows update has cycled properly because 2 patches have been released by Microsoft which might address your issue?
