so recently as in the last 2 weeks
tf2 has begun to stutter a significant amount more than it has in past, but my FPS never goes below 100, but I still get random stutters every few seconds and they last for only a fraction of a second. I haven't moved, my ping is always 20ms - 80ms depending on location and my interp has remained the same.
I think it might be my Logitech g400 mouse, but I don't have the typical USB disconnect issues like many other users have reported.
I thought it could be a heat issue, but none of my components go above 85c (they used to go above 95c, but I got a laptop cooling pad now).
The stutter is so bad it feels like I can barely move my crosshair, yet I still see players moving (though they're not as smooth as they should be, but it seems to affect my crosshair placement alot more than it does players moving around)
System:
CPU: i7-2630QM @ 2.0GHz
RAM: 8GB DDR3 1600
GPU: GTX 540m 1GB GDDR3
(yes it's a laptop, and yes I have fixed my power settings)

bump in case anyone knows something
also, i've just fully reinstalled steam and tf2, and the problem is still there.
going to try playing CSS or something to see if it happens on it too.
-edit-
I am not 100% sure on this but I am pretty sure it happens in CSS as well :(

Can you move your mouse around menus normally when it happens? Do you have mouse acceleration enabled?

wareyaCan you move your mouse around menus normally when it happens? Do you have mouse acceleration enabled?
It only happens for a split second i.e. about .5s so it's hard to open a menu when it happens. No mouse acceleration at all.
also a mouse test I did, apparently the smoothness is about normal for a G400 on this test, though my precisions seems to be about 12% lower than some other people for precision

check to see that your drivers are up to date
and specifically your USB drivers
I had mine be not up to date, and after a while a single port would overload, and cause any input to produce incredible lag, until restart.
I don't know, worth a shot.

Another reason could be that it is probably a micro sutter caused by your GPU.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro_stuttering)
1.Update drivers
2.Open your case ,look if theres any dust in there or something that could get into the GPU.
3.Check the temperatures after long hours of gaming ,again to be sure.
Maybe there could just be something wrong with a Pc part of yours.
But hopefully its just really your mouse.Try to get a other random mouse and plug it into some other USB Port and see if that fixes it.
