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 was mistaken about the DE it seems. Choosing Wayland in elementary also changes the DE to GNOME. I’m not sure if that plays a role here but it might be worth mentioning. I believe the default setting (called “Classic Session”) is the one that uses Pantheon.
