Sometimes after I do a rocket jump my mouse will flick vertically upwards in game pointing straight up into the sky which ruins my jump. I'm not sure whether it is a problem with the game or my mouse. I have not experienced it in any other games however I am not playing many other games on a regular basis currently and I will not move my mouse at the same speed as I do when I rocket jump. I have tried using different usb ports for my mouse and updating device drivers. If it matters I am using a corsair M65 and using 800dpi and 0.9 in game sens. Any advice for fixing this issue would be appreciated as I don't have any other ideas for fixing it.

probably your mouse tracking speed bugging out, try a different dpi, disable angle snapping or try a different mousepad or updating mouse firmware
but im guessing you need a new mouse

I've had this happen to me in the past, and to some extent, it still happens every once in awhile.
For me, it was mostly because of my mousepad. I have a cloth pad that is a bit uneven in a certain section, which causes tracking issues. Cleaning it and smoothing the section out usually fixes the issue, at least until it gets dirty / bumpy again.
Have you tried using a different mousepad? Sometimes it's as easy and simple as that.

This is definitely your issue, you may not need a new mouse, though you might prefer that over the other options for a fix.
Mousepads matter quite a lot in Max Tracking speeds here's an example that I left in a review for the Ripper XXL series mousepad.

I don't know exactly how to describe this but in my experience Solid Black Mousepads > everything else and typically mousepads that have a bit more resistance tend to have the best max tracking speed for a mouse, while mousepads that seem to have more glide to them are significantly worse.
Side note: Common side affects of hitting your max tracking speed. Looking straight up/down almost instantly, crosshair just suddenly skips like 10 degrees of movement either left/right, massive negative acceleration.
FYI new gaming mice rarely have this issue as all the new logitech mice with the G502 sensor can do like 7+ m/s on basically any cloth surface, Zowie is around 5-6m/s with their latest series of sensor, razer DA chroma series or anything recent is also 5+m/s on basically any cloth surface, etc.
-edit-
@OP Most mice do best around 400/800 DPI so you don't really need to change that, if you're not using 1000Hz for your mouse though you should definitely try that. Otherwise your options are use a different mousepad (I really like the Steel Series QCK pads, from what I've been told Puretrak Talent mousepad has a similar max tracking speed if you prefer that) OR you could get a new mouse.
