  It's not the game.  Try changing your mouse battery.  If you still get skips after that, try closing down any other apps you might have running in the background.

  It's not for nothing that most pro-gamers use a wired mouse. Plus, WGT is a game in which timely clicks are essential. The response speed of a wireless mouse can never match that of a wired one.

  Also make sure that you don't have any other input devices plugged in, like a controller or joystick. Ive had this happen to me in other games, where the mouse will get centered in the game window if I had my PS4 controller plugged in.

  Kinda true but misleading,  I see this said often but it is mostly due to cost not performance.
  
  Newer wireless can and will do just fine on speed- however a wireless mouse built to match a wired mouse will cost a LOT more.

  In other words a cheap wired mouse will be outperformed by a moderate wireless one, and a cheap wireless will be outperformed by almost all wired models.

  This^^^^

  even a usb receiver plugged in for a wireless controller or headset can occasionally cause a rubber-banding type issue with your mouse.

  That's a good point.  I've also experienced mouse skips when playing on my laptop, when I've had both my mouse and touchpad enabled at the same time.
