Mouse stuttering after Gnome upgrade

I noticed poor mouse performance after upgrading to Gnome 3.26.

This has been observed on various desktops and laptops using various mouse inputs on clean install.

While I'm currently using Arch, have also observed same behavior when upgrading Fedora (effectively upgrading Gnome to 3.26) - on a clean install, the issue is night and day after upgade.

Various Logitech mice, ultranav both on laptop keyboard and external thinkpad usb keyboard.

In addition to the poor mouse performance, there are also stuttering issues with wireless, wired and ultranav and/or trackpad.

Due Dilligence:
- Verified mouse sensitivity settings (via Gnome settings and Gnome "Tweaks"
- Verified polling is set properly (a la arch wiki)
- Used evhz to witness polling rate (while I notice in cases of stuttering the "Latest" poll will drop from 125Hz to ~1-4Hz - not sure if this is indicative)

After searching the internet far and wide, I'm not seeing others with these issues after upgrading Gnome.  After my extensive research my conclusion is this affects more than just me(???).

Anything else I'm missing?  Maybe not Gnome's issue and something with a newer kernel that happens to be upgraded when upgrading to Gnome 3.26?  Any other settings I can look at that may have been changed when upgrading to Gnome 3.26?

thnx

Re: Mouse stuttering after Gnome upgrade

Does downgrading the kernel fix the mouse issue?

...as for me personally, my mouse had that problem because I accidentally plugged it into a USB3 port instead of USB2...
