Input Lags (Keyboard and Mouse) on Linux Mint 17.2 (x64)

[masterxxxxxl]

Hello,
Since I installed Linux Mint, Keyboard and Mouse do feel kinda sluggish, compared to windows. Especially, in cs:go It's really annoying, because the whole input reaction is delayed to about 250ms, which is fatal in Multiplayer FPS games. I also tried to increase the mouse polling rate to 500mhz, but this didn't help at all. Is there a way to get rid of these lags?

I unplugged the front usb ports completely from the board. Didnt help 🙁

It's possible that the Cinnamon 3d effects are causing the sluggish response. You can choose to use a 2d session from the Mint login screen.

I'm convinced this is a cs:go issue and not a linux issue. Maybe try disable multicolor rendering. Search Google and you'll find 100s of posts with cs:go input lag

@spankmon
I didnt feel like it helped, the input is still delayed, at least ingame

@skittle
I disable multicore rendering, but this didnt help, its still reacting slower than in Windows, it didnt change anything.

Has noone an idea? 🙁

Have you tried using the "-high" and/or "-low" startup option flags in CS:GO?


[edit -- update]

It turns out that in Linux you can't use the on-the-fly DPI switch. You need to configure it on Windows, after which it should work just fine. For good measure, I'd disable the DPI switching buttons as well. When you go back into Linux, it should theoretically work like a charm. The same should apply to the keyboard. I know this worked for me with all of my 5 Razer mice and 1 Razer keyboard.

The problem is, that there is no Driver offered by Gigabyte, therefore I cant disable it, also that button works in linux too somehow.
What do you mean with the Keyboard?

No, you need to do it in Windows. Once you've saved your settings to the mouse and keyboard, then, you can use it again in Linux.

There is no ofgiciap Driver for my Mouse by gigabyte. I am forced to use the Default Microsoft one, plus there is no software from them to disable it, therefore I can't do this. The button has 3 preset Speeds which I can't modify, because they seem to be hardcoded and completely mouse-intern. Also it does reset itself to the default setting every time, I unplug it/ turn off the pc, which is A pain in the butt, because it's the hightest setting.

What you could do is disable the perky buttons once the settings are to your liking. I do this on Linux all the time (i.e., set the DPI really high and disable the up/down "sensitivity" button. Check this link out: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Input

Sorry, but I don't really understand what you mean with "disable up/down "sensitivity" button...

UPDATE:

today I realized, that it maybe isnt even the mouse itself, thats delayed, but maybe just the mouseclicks. Sometimes the system doesnt recognize a mouseclick when I press the mousebutton too short(Still long enough that windows would still definitely recognize it), is there a way to shorten the time a mouseclick needs to be to be recognized?
