How to Fix Mouse Issues in Oblivion Remastered
The Oblivion Remastered release really caught a lot of people off guard with its shock out-of-nowhere launch, but it’s proven to be super popular and, surprisingly, pretty well-optimised and stable for a day one release. That said, there are still a few minor issues you might run into. The first and most common one is some really random and erratic mouse movement. It can make the game feel weird or even unplayable depending on your setup. So, follow along as we show you exactly how to fix mouse issues in Oblivion Remastered and get things running smoothly.
Why DPI Settings Affect Oblivion
When The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion launched in 2006, the typical mouse operated between 400 and 800 DPI. The game’s input system was built around those expectations. Fast forward to today, and gaming mice commonly default to DPI levels of 1600, 3200, or even higher. Oblivion’s engine was never meant to handle this kind of precision, and although the game has been remastered from the ground up, a few annoying little bugs and glitches have snuck in. And whilst I doubt this is a carryover from the original game, lowering your mouse’s DPI seems to get rid of the problem.
How to Fix Mouse Issues in Oblivion Remastered
The method varies depending on what kind of mouse you have.
In Game:
Adjust mouse sensitivity in the game settings menu first. If that doesn't work, try the following.
Logitech G Hub:
-
Open G Hub and select your mouse.
-
Go to the Sensitivity settings.
-
Lower your DPI to somewhere between 400 and 800.
-
Save the profile and assign it to a button if you want to toggle between settings.
Razer Synapse:
-
Open Synapse and select your mouse.
-
Under the Performance tab, set the DPI to 400 or 800.
-
Save it as a profile and optionally link it to Oblivion’s executable.
Corsair iCUE:
-
Launch iCUE and click on your mouse.
-
Adjust the DPI sliders to a lower value 400-800 is a good start
-
Save your settings and create a dedicated profile for Oblivion if needed.
For mice without software:
-
Use any built-in DPI switch button to toggle to a lower preset.
-
Try each level in-game to find the most stable setting.
Not Working, Try This.
In some cases, adjusting DPI alone may not solve the entire issue. Here are a couple of other things you can try:
Disable mouse acceleration in Windows:
-
Go to Control Panel > Mouse > Pointer Options.
-
Uncheck "Enhance pointer precision."
These changes can help normalise input behaviour and remove inconsistencies caused by modern system enhancements.
