-{{ii}} This issue mainly occurs with gaming keyboards and mice like Logitech G series. There are several ways to reduce this frame rate drop:
+====Method 1====
-* Open <code>Device Manager</code> ({{key|Win|Pause}} >> Device Manager), expand <code>Human Interface Devices</code> and disable all <code>HID-compliant device</code> entries.

-* Open Task Manager and end <code>SetPoint.exe</code> and <code>SetPointII.exe</code> processes.
+{{Fixbox/fix|Logitech/FPS fix}}
-* Open Task Manager and stop <code>hidserv</code> service from the Services tab.
+Certain wired/wireless Logitech keyboards/mice will cause major FPS drops at random times. To fix this:
-* Reduce the USB polling rate in your mouse software.
+# Open up the Start Menu.
-* {{key|Alt|Tab}} to desktop for a few seconds.
+# Right-click Computer, select Manage.
+# Go to Device Manager
+# Under Human Interface Devices, right-click and disable all HID-Compliant Devices.
+# Open Task Manager and end <code>SetPoint.exe</code> and <code>SetPointII.exe</code> processes.
+# Open Task Manager and stop <code>hidserv</code> service from the Services tab.
+# Reduce the USB polling rate in your mouse software.
+# {{key|Alt|Tab}} to desktop for a few seconds.
+{{ii}} You will need to re-enable them after playing the game or you won't be able to use some keyboard keys like: volume control, play/pause, etc.
