Do all PC gamepads lag every few seconds (well not that often), like they aren't picking up, and then catch up?

Mine doesn't, but then it's not wireless. Is yours?

No, it's wired. I think I might know what it is. I tried it without installing the software that comes with it. It worked. Apparently the software is poorly coded. I probably won't be able to get the force feedback to work without the software, but at least it doesn't lag!

I find this happens with GlovePIE if I don't give it high priority in the task manager. Every once in a while, the controls freeze for a second and then everything I did in a panic bursts through in under a quarter-second. With the priority set to high or realtime though, it never happens.
