Scrolling bounces when scrolling and jumps and jitters randomly

So I have done the things:
I have checked my mirrors,
I ordered pacman to -Syu (almost daily, now)
I shouted yay immediately after
Every has been running fine and I am up to date.

Description of Problem:
However, my scroll wheel does not seem to function. When I scrolled in either direction, I bounce around the page almost randomly, jittering and barely have control over it. It makes it nearly impossible to play a game where I need accurate clicks and a real headache to read anything like a textbook.

Troubleshooting and research:
Now, I have kept my machine fully updated with care after my last issue.
I also tested a wired mouse and I have the same problem regardless of model.
The problem appear to be related to scroll wheels, as I can scroll using gestures on my touch pad fine.
The Computer is plugged into a relatively high resolution older TV, 1920 x 1080. I mention this because one article from four years ago noted a similarly described problem caused on high resolution displays. I followed the rabbit trail and made sure libinput was up to date and considered looking into a different package in that role, but I'm not about to start pulling out part and replacing them without consultation and backing up.

Thoughts?

Re: Scrolling bounces when scrolling and jumps and jitters randomly

What mice? If it's logitech they support a high res wheel mode that's potentially throwing things off, what output do you get from

libinput list-devices
sudo libinput debug-events

when scrolling?

Re: Scrolling bounces when scrolling and jumps and jitters randomly

Okay, so that was a lot of output....

I'm using an Amazon Basics blue-tooth mouse.

As a note, because I was playing minecraft, I slowed my scroll and it helps a little but the jitter is still pretty bad.
