Keyboard Input & Mouse Highlight Lag using Windows 7 and Parallels

Issue:
1) When using Windows 7 fullscreen, and I attempt to type in any program (Chrome, Office, Notepad, etc) my keyboard input is lagged. I can often outspeed the data entry by good measure. This makes adjusting typos labor intensive
2) When I SELECT something the mouse input is lagged. So lagged that I often select the wrong thing. My visual lag is similar to what is seen in this video:
(I should note that I'm not using the Smoothmouse application like that user is)

Context:
I am using a Macbook 15 Retina. I am utilizing Parallels 10 (latest updates) with Windows 7. I have two monitors plugged into my macbook (both via thunderbolt) and an external keyboard (logitech G510) and Logitech USB mouse. I should note that all of my problems occur even if i disconnect the monitors, mouse, and keyboard and just utilize the laptop.

Settings:
I almost exclusively use Windows in Fullscreen. I often am a power user pushing through multiple complex XLS sheets which only makes the above issues worse. I have configured Parallels to be set to the following under ACTIONS > CONFIGURE
- General Tab: Configure fore: Productivity (modified)
- Options Tab: Optimization -> Performance: Faster Virtual Machine
- Options Tab: Optimization -> Performance: Enable Adaptive Hypervisor
- Options Tab: Optimization -> Performance: Tune Windows for Speed
- Hardware Tab: Mouse & Keyboard -> Smartmouse: Enable Smooth scrolling (Checked)

Advice? Thoughts? I should clearly note that when using the exact same setup on Parallels 9, I did not have any of these problems.

Thanks in advance!
 
Has anyone else experienced this? It has been a week and I haven't heard from anyone. Please let me know if you need more information for me, or if I've overlooked another thread (I read the FAQ before posting).
 
God yes, this issue is annoying. I have another post that's titled "laggy mouse". But this is the exact issue. Mouse support got really bad in P10. The cursor stays as OSX cursor a lot of the times instead of windows. Drag & Drop drops 90% of the time while you are still holding the mouse down.

Hope this gets resolved. In the meantime, I'm thinking I might downgrade to P9.
