Issues with mouse movement in game

Godot Version

Godot 4.3

Hello! First time poster here, I’m having an issue with choppy mouse movement when running my game. When running it on my desktop with a Logitech G502 mouse, I get completely smooth mouse movement. However, when using my ASUS Vivobook pro 15, and a Corsair Dark Core RGB SE, or even the mousepad on this laptop, I get really choppy mouse input.

The fps is smooth 60 on both machines, just a noticeable difference in mouse movement that is not keeping up. It seems like 2 or 3 frames go by before the mouse updates its position. Here is my _Input event that handles all mouse movement:

func _input(event):
	# This handles camera and player rotation
	if event is InputEventMouseMotion:
		if freelooking:
			neck.rotate_y(-deg_to_rad(event.relative.x) * mouse_sense_x)
			neck.rotation.y = clamp(neck.rotation.y, deg_to_rad(-110), deg_to_rad(110))
		else:
			rotate_y(-deg_to_rad(event.relative.x) * mouse_sense_x)
		head.rotate_x(-deg_to_rad(event.relative.y) * mouse_sense_y)
		head.rotation.x = clamp(head.rotation.x, deg_to_rad(-89), deg_to_rad(89))

I did try using Godot 4.5, but the issue was present there as well, so I just went back to 4.3.

any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

What are mouse_sense_x and mouse_sense_y here?

Have you tried event.screen_relative.x instead of event.relative.x?

I had a similar issue with mouse position lagging and I was told that there is nothing much I can do about it.

Here is my post:

Label node following mouse

Godot Version v4.4.1.stable.official [49a5bc7b6] Question I have a Label node that shows some information and the label position should follow the mouse with offset. I put this simple code. Label follows the mouse (with offset), but if I move mouse quickly, the label follows the mouse with a delay, as if I used a lerp. It’s not necessarily undesired for my use-case, but I’d like to understand why it’s happening. extends Label var offset : Vector2 = Vector2(30,45) func _process(delta: float)…

And here is the post I was told to check:

Fix Mouse Position Lag

Godot Version 4.2.2 Question One basic problem I’ve been running into a lot with Godot is properly using the mouse position. For some reason there seems to be a slight delay between the position being used and the actual mouse position. Here’s a basic example: The Godot logo is using this code to move to the mouse position: func _process(delta): position = get_window().get_mouse_position() The arrow is using this code to point towards the mouse: func _process(delta): look_at(get_wi…

Sorry for the late reply. They are 0.4 for x, and 0.3 for y by default. I have also now tried both, the jittering appears with both. From what I can tell, it’s from “_input” Not running every frame. I’m going to head back in and see if there is an easy way to do mouse movement in the _process function.
