Games start lagging when sendind inputs after a few minutes of playing

When I play a game, after a few minutes, the game will kind of "frameskip" when I press any key or move the mouse. When I let go the game runs like normal. Only Wine games seem to be affected.

sudo pacman -Syu

did not fix this. Maybe another Novideo fuckup?

I am using an Intel i5 10400, 16GB DDR4 Crucial RAM, Novideo GTX 1650 GDDR6 with nvidia-dkms and linux-zen. Happens on both Wayland and X11, however, games seem to lag on Wayland anyways, even right after being started. Tested Plasma (X11 and Wayland), Cinnamon (also X11 and Wayland) and XFCE. All latest versions. Behavior seems to be the same across any desktop environment.

often happens with high resolution mice/high usb polling input devices try reducing the polling rate, somewhat of long standing issue with wine.

But this never happened before?

You didn't mention when it started, so when did it start and what about your system did you change in that time frame?

See e.g. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=300858 might be a 6.12 regression with certain mice models.

Please post your Xorg log, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General and the outputs of "glxinfo -B" and "prime-run glxinfo -B" and test the behavior w eg. https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/xonotic/
