Problems with mice and KB - is it drivers? Where are they?
Having serious mouse and keyboard issues - both are hesitant, as in delays between my finger movement and result on screen.
Makes it really hard to do stuff when you scroll away and nothing happens at first, and then the screen goes by really fast, of course passed where you want. KB can delay, too. There's an old sticky on LQ about this, but it refers to this directory which does not exist: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/README.mouse which I couldn't find readme anywhere. The man pages refer to /dev/mouse, but I can't find that either. Where and what in this system is causing this? I first thought it was the distro, but this follows me. I seem to remember it having statred to occur on the previous PC also. |
Can you provide more definitive information about your input devices? How are they connected?
Code:
dmesg|grep input Code:
xinput list |
Also, if you have the devices available, swap in a known-good mouse and keyboard and also try different USB ports, one change at a time, to rule out hardware issues.
|
Code:
dmesg|grep input Code:
xinput list Code:
$ xinput list I've tried 3 different mice, the Dell and the Belkin are really bad, the logitech usable. A 2nd KB was also affected. Tried different ports, too. It gets better after a reboot, and gradually gets worse over several days. |

That's definitely not normal behaviour. Does this problem only occur within a graphical desktop environment? Try the keyboard behaviour outside of the Xorg server environment. If you need specific instructions, let us know your current distro and desktop environment details as well.
Post the output of these please Code:
cat /etc/os-release Code:
echo $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP Code:
echo $DESKTOP_SESSION Code:
lspci -nnk|grep -iA3 VGA If you have 'inxi' installed, run Code:
inxi -GSxx |
In addition to the above, let's check out current boot parameters
Code:
cat /proc/cmdline |
"It gets better after a reboot, and gradually gets worse over several days."
Then maybe keep an eye on top for some sort of process use or memory use??? |
Yes, good idea.

Here ya go:
Code:
binkyd@BigBox:~$ cat /etc/os-release I moved back to Mint over this - Manjaro had too many updates for me to figure this out. |
I have seen "erratic, laggy mouse and keyboard" issues reported for those with particular AMD chpisets and using the amdgpu driver. A quick search online will turn up results like this. One such thread was eventually resolved in this post with the OP announcing that they created a custom file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-amdgpu.conf
with this Code:

I have the same problem too. I hope I can get the answer on this topic. I've already seen some possible solutions here. I will try them.

@libroabierto: In general it is best to start your own new thread (with descriptive title) for issues like this, as the underlying cause may be completely different. (Especially if your hardware is different.)

Thank you very much, I am going to open my own thread to look for chord solutions

Possibly solved:
my 10 year (maybe) old mouse is working fine. The KB also has no more issues, in the original port. All the other mice, 3 wired, 2 wireless, all have glitches, no matter which USB port I use. This old beast works just fine in the not-blue ports. Beats me exactly why. Maybe when it fails I'll need to hit a pawn shop for some old mice? lol |
