Would anyone know how to solve this mouse stutter issue on Linux? When I press the side buttons at the same time as keyboard input, it causes the graphics rendering to stall. It’s not just while gaming, it happens no matter what app is running. This is on elementary OS using Pantheon.

The issue is apparently not present on Wayland, but then my game performance tanks significantly. Pantheon has proper performance, but the mouse + keyboard stutter. Anyone know a fix?

I’ve seen posts about this online, but they were focused on gnome and mutter. I have an Nvidia GPU.

    I’ll keep this in mind. Admittedly I didn’t yet test a Steam game for performance under Wayland, only a GoG game using Bottles to run the GoG Galaxy client (the game crashes using Proton; I have to set Bottles to use regular Wine). At the time I was more focused on the input stutter issue before I ran into a Wayland performance bottleneck.

    I have read that Nvidia drivers are a problem under Wayland. I’ll have to do more testing to confirm what happens on my system.
