Y Gaming Mouse – Cursor Slow

I tried looking up the SN but it came up with nothing. Dunno if support is gone for this, but the SN is XXXXXXXX (with a space at the end, just before XX). I tried searching for this issue as well, but the only question I found had a response for the guy to call in. He’d answered that the page he was directed to did not recognize his SN and provided no number to call. The same support guy responded again to go to that same page. So, dead end. (https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Y-Gaming-Accessories-Curved/Lenovo-Y-Gaming-Precision-Mouse-stopped-working/td-p/3511580)

 

Problem is, the cursor moves around very slowly when using her mouse. I’ve tried hitting all the buttons, switching what computer we’re using it on, installed the software for it and changing settings there, resetting it all to defaults, nothing I’ve tried has worked so far. Any suggestions?

 

Admin Edit: Removed the S/N since its personal information which could be misused.
