Razer Basilisk inducing system lag

Hi there,

I just got a Razer Basilisk for Christmas and I am experiencing some severe system lag when using it.

when not using the mouse, the system is fine. When I begin dragging the cursor across the screen, I notice the System process begin to Spike in CPU usage and the whole computer begins to stutter (resources, audio, video)

I have the mouse plugged into a USB 3.1 slot and my machine is of the following spec:


Operating System
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
CPU
Intel Core i5 6500 @ 3.20GHz 41 °C

I made sure today that my chipset and USB drivers were up-to-date.

Any thoughts on the issue here?
