Linux Mint CSGO slow input

Post by wibus »

hello, I wonder if someone know what I could do about this:
in csgo, I can't "spam shoot" with my left mouse button, it's like a constant small delay between how often I can press mouse 1, and also before it registers that I pressed mouse 1.
this worked fine in windows 10 with same keyboard and mouse so I'm guessing it's related to linux.

I found this: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/i ... t-x64.html
but it's 3 years old and when I tried to find drivers, it said it's not working with newer versions of linux mint.

I have a AMD Radeon HD 7970 graphics card, I also checked that I have raw mouseinput enabled in csgo.
I have full screen and disable most effects.

thank you if anyone could direct me to a solution :)

Found fix!:
Linux Mint settings > Mouse > Don't emulate middle mouse by clicking left+right click

Try uninstalling then reinstalling the keyboard drivers.

hi, sorry but I'm very new to linux and I can't seem to find something about this.
driver manager only shows intel-microcode for my processor,
nowhere can I find something related to mouse drivers, could you direct me to where I could find this?
also I did not initially install any drivers manually, I only installed linux yesterday
thank you

Do you have compositing enabled? It can lag things like that. Especially if you're using something like vsync, and that'd be incredibly noticeable with a twitch-shooter like CSGO. By the way, as you're into that stuff, you might want to look up the lowlatency kernel range. :wink:

Thank you for your reply,
I was actually able to fix this simply by going into the Linux Mint settings > Mouse > Don't emulate middle mouse by clicking left+right click
This fixed it!
I will check the rest of the things you wrote if it is related to performance stuff anyway :D

Oh awesome! At least that's sorted. The lowlatency thing doesn't improve performance, exactly, but it lowers the latency of input and audio devices, which could be useful if you're hardcore into CSGO. :lol:
