While playing the game I've found that my mouse and keyboard aren't responding properly, sometimes almost lagging. Such as moving forward, then letting go of the forward key, and I keep moving forward another moment. Same thing with the mouse, only sometimes it stops turning instead of continuing on. I've updated my drivers, and I'm really not sure what the problem could be. Thanks to whoever lends some words.

I used to have mouse issues. Kinda like it lagged out for a second or two.
I initially blamed it on a steam update... only to find out sometime after that my RAM module wasn't properly stuck in (no more hitting my pc). It turns out it had nothing to do with my mouse nor steam.
So, first of all, are you having fps drops while playing?
Does this happen in any other game? -
No fps drops, and it only happens in half life games, but not half life 2 games.Comment

Well, yeah, I've been there. It sucks. And the worst: nobody can ever come up with a decent fix for this.
Do you have the possibility of using other hardware? Like a ps/2 mouse and keyboard?
Is it possible you're having any kind of overheating problems, or maybe too much dust?Comment
-
No over heating or dust issues. I tried a normal mouse instead of my usb, since I'm also using a usb keyboard. Didn't help. I do notice though, that my mouse especially messes up while I'm doing something with my keyboard, such as moving.Comment

So, if you don't touch your keyboard your mouse won't mess up?
Are your keyboard and mouse no the same usb hub? Generally, pcs have hubs to connect various devices; this leads to the division of the usb speed through those devices. On some mice that can be an issue.Comment

I'm not sure if they're on the same usb hub or not, though I do have two in the front, two in the back, and they're not together. I can try that. But I also tried simply using an older mouse with prongs, not usb, and I had the same issues.Comment
-
Yeah, that clears it.
Have you tried not touching the keyboard at all to see if the mouse still lags?
Better yet, unplug the keyboard.Comment
-
It doesn't lag at all if I unplug the keyboard, do you think I need a new keyboard or something? And I tried switching between the hubs and such, nothing works.Comment
-
No, this is probably fixable, but at least we now know it's the keyboard's fault.
Do you have old drivers? Sometimes the old stuff works fine...
Do you know if your keyboard has any kind of specifications that might create conflicts with your system?Comment
-
I switched out my keyboard with another that I know works on a different computer. Same issue. Also, I realize now that the keyboard is not usb, when I thought i had been. Either way, same issue, and I'm not sure what to try next.Comment
-
Can you try your mouse on that other computer?
Suddenly I'm not so sure it's the keyboard's fault. Maybe it's something to do with your mouse.Comment

I had tried a different mouse before as well, no change. I messed with my video settings a little though, and changing the renderer made the problem much worse. I'm using OpenGl as the moment, and that's the one I have the best performance on. Thinking that it's a video issue now I updated my video driver again, and for some reason, that made it even worse. I did a system restore to get it back to normal, to it's normal badness. I use a Radeon9800 video card. I feel it's something with the video now, but I have no idea how to fix the problem.Comment

I don't know.
But I'm not into video cards, so I don't really know what you can do.
And besides, it's only happening in hl1 games... which aren't really "heavy" compared to source games. So, it makes no sense to be a video card issue.
Keep trying different drivers.Comment

Actually I just found out that it only effects my counter strike game, and The Spe******ts mod. I can play Team Fortress just fine, as well as Half-life 1. And my HL2 games run fine too. So, now I'm even more confused than before.Comment
