Once upon a time I had a similar issue with ArmA2. The problem I discovered was the soundcard I had.
I was using an EMU-1616M at the time for other things and the game did not like it one little bit. Every other game played nicely, but not ArmA2.
I would disable it in controlpanel and enable the Onboard audio, this solved the problem. Worth a go if you're using a soundcard I suppose. It's simple and reversable.

You know, this doesn't have to be the case. You can have vsync on, and no mouse/input lag from any device on any game.
Cap your framerate 1 or 2 frames below the Vsync refresh rate and you will never EVER have this problem again.
No screen tearing and a wonderfully precise controller too!
Yes, this also negates input lag from Joysticks/Throttles/Rudder pedals etc.

You're welcome!

Thank you for taking the time to address some of my issues listed!

I am not using any USB hub of any kind, and on my testing across different systems I made sure to have the least possible amount of devices present to have as fair of a comparison test as possible.

I am using a ProFire610 on my main system, but on all the other test systems were using onboard audio (I've also for kicks tried only using onboard on my main system with no changes).

That is a good tip regarding v-sync, although I don't use v-sync myself for a few reasons. The main one being that with a 120hz screen there is no tearing and if I ever have weird fluctuation issues in a game, I generally use just a frame cap.

Also, the issue I was running into was what you stated,

although I am seeing the slightly out of sync joystick movement correlate with the plane's movement. If I can get ahold of a friends camera I'll try to record a video with my joystick in frame.

jayrc you can try MSI Afterburner's fps limiter.

Edit: I just noticed you have an nVidia card, I haven't used one in a while but I believe there is a fps limiter built into the driver software now? Maybe someone here can verify that
