Problem Details:
There is notificable diffrence playing windowed and fullscreen with mouse on raw input.

I've played a lot with fullscreen but (its bugged soon will post this as well) now i have to change to windowed from various reason. A first i didnt notice any change but after some while i felt that something is wrong, so i switch to fullscreen to see what is going on. On fullscreen version my mouse felt more responsive and without lag input that you can notice on windowed.

Both modes i have stable 120 fps.

Video or screenshot showing the problem:

Unable to capture because its only visible while playing by yourself. I hope i dont lose my mind

osu! version: 20150109.1 (latest)

That's normal. The desktop window manager enforces VSync on top of all applications running inside it, causing a higher input latency compared to running full-screen.

You can disable this if you are running Windows 7 or earlier. If you run windows 8 or higher, then there is no way to fix this, sorry.

It would be neat to add this issue to faq some sort, because i bet you a lot of people will report it as they find it out.

Is it really "impossible" to get rid of this input delay in w8? I don't like to play in fullscreen because I have chat windows etc that I like to see while playing and doing other stuff and I can't play with the comfortable sens on my mouse in fullscreen either because it's too low.

Would be great if some kind of fix were put in the Osu! options :/

You can try this software. I don't know how it works exactly but it tweaks your registry and mouse movements are more smooth after using it in windowed mode.

1. Extract
2. Open
3. Direct the program to the Osu.exe. and click open.
4. A small window will appear. Click enable.

If it doesnt work or you get some issues open the program again and disable it .
