Issues with mouse input on Steam games
I've installed Bazzite on an AM5-based desktop machine in my arcade cabinet, and for the most part everything works great. My only real issue is with mouse input. I have a trackball and a spinner, and while both are correctly picked up by Bazzite as mice, in games, the polling rate is all off. Trying to play Tempest in Atari50, it picks up like 1 in 5 ticks. Best I can tell, it's moving too fast for the game to recognize. I have similar issues with anything I try to use the trackball or spinner on.
I've managed to make MAME games playable in RetroArch by cranking the analog control sensitivity all the way down, but even then it's still a little quirky.
Is there a utility I can install to adjust mouse polling on a per device basis? All I've found is the mouse control panel, which lets me turn off acceleration (important) and adjust cursor speed (not useful). What I really need is more granular poll controls. Steam Input unfortunately only covers gamepads, not mouse input.
