  I've use the Magic Mouse for a long time. Any mouse works better than the trackpad. That, however, is not the issue. The problem is the stuttery and/or jerky cursor. While at different times I've had good results with all of my browsers (Safari, Firefox, Chrome, but not Opera), none of them offer reliable results now. Safari is horrible, Firefox can be good but is inconsistent, and Chrome tends to have inconsistent meter and one that speeds up at the point of contact. It is almost impossible to avoid being late (or early in compensation!).

  It seems like an unresolvable issue for the moment. 

  Pity....

  yet amazingly i use the trackpad, only have an average internet speed of about 3 and a half mb yet only get a meterjerk about once every 80 rounds on average

  Well for what it is worth, I think I have triedf about 9/10ths of the browsers out there.  My latest try is Comodo Dragon, and (knock on wood)  the meter issues are minimal.  When they do occur I find that I can click on my profile page, hit the recycle this page button and all is well.  Been using it for 2 weeks and so far so good.  Recommend giving it a try

  Any older PC`s check out the Pale Moon Browser. I use it with my backup pc, which is XP and its much better than Chrome or Firefox, it`s made for older Pc`s

   

  Thanks, I am testing out Pale Moon and it passes the 100% CPU while streaming on Twitch test. It's as smooth as my fav Comodo Dragon, so far.

   

  edit: I noticed some meter flicker when streaming w/ Pale Moon and there is not as much , for me, when I use Comodo Dragon. So, with my Dell Vostro 2G at 100% CPU the CD seems better than the PM.

  Ok, I'm going to ask here before making a new post. My question for WGT, which browsers do you use to test the game client?? Most importantly, which browser does WGT think works the best for the game client??

  Should I ask CS instead?
  

  I am talking about meter smoothness & ding ability. Pale Moon is the only browser I have found that the meter speed does not speed up right before the ding. But it is jittery, I really have to watch what else I have running. I have tried every browser out there & tested extensively. I'm using Win7 64bit, newest Flash & Java.
