Hi.<br>
<br>
For mouse input in games, did you eable "use relative mouse
movements" in the server config, and lock the cursor to the windows
screen with scroll-lock? That worked perfectly for me in
first-person games.<br>

</div>
<div>In my experience, Synergy is more than good enough for a
1st-person shooter as far as latency goes. I ran into other
problem. It seems like when a game takes over full-screen in
Windows, the mapping of one unit of movement of the mouse to
one unit of movement on the screen becomes ... funky. For me,
Skyrim was the best example. In Skyrim, one fractional
physical move of my mouse moved the cursor 150 or 200 pixels
on the screen. This made the game unplayable. I've experienced
the same thing in Bioshock Infinite and Metro 2033 to varying
degrees. For those latter 2 games I was able to get the games
playable enough using mouse sensitivity settings (in Windows
and in the games themselves), but for Skyrim I wasn't
(granted, I didn't try as hard with Skyrim). </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Another problem I've had is that Synergy seems to be
bounded by a box, when playing a full screen game. What I mean
by that is that when I use the mouse to turn the character, it
will only go so far. As if the character can only turn his
head so far to the left. This happens both left, right, up,
and down. It's not a dealbreaker when playing the
single-player FPS's that I mentioned, but I imagine it would
be if you were playing something competitively multiplayer. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The third problem I had was when I was using Windows 7. For
some reason, Windows 7 would decided it couldn't boot, and go
into a recovery mode. This recovery mode would require a
keypress or mouse clicks to exit; once exited the VM would
boot just fine. Unfortunately, Synergy wouldn't be running at
this stage, so passing through a USB mouse directly was the
only option. Windows 10 has yet to give me this problem. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Passing through a USB mouse is very easy using
virt-manager. It can be done on the fly, with a running VM,
and it has the advantage of Windows detecting it (I have a
gaming mouse with a number of buttons and settings and Windows
picks all this up when the mouse is passed through directly,
but doesn't when Synergy is involved). The downside, of
course, is that once you click "apply," you no longer have use
of that mouse in your host : ). For that, I have a 2nd mouse,
whose purpose is simply to interact with the host, if that is
necessary, while the guest is running. I still am using
Synergy for the Keyboard.</div>

Hi Andrew,<br>
<br>
Thanks for your answer! I didn't know about the
arch wiki you pointed. It's yet another great resource
from the arch community.<br>
<br>
I have a couple of questions though. Is synergy
responsive enough to play something time demanding,
lets say a shooter? Is there any way to avoid using
the bridged mode networking?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
<br>
José.</div>

Check out Synergy, it allows control of the mouse and
keyboard input without having to passthrough the
devices. Guide here: <a moz-do-not-send="true"

Hi,<br>
<br>
I'm using vga passthrough so much nowadays,
and I wonder if there is any<br>
better option than passing through the usb devices
to the machine, like using<br>
vnc, or the brand new virtio keyboard and mouse
coming in 2.4 version.<br>
<br>
The setup in my case is working quite well but
from time to time, the vm<br>
hangs without any option to go back to the host,
and I'd like to improve this<br>
at some point.<br>
<br>
Best regards.<br>
<br>
José.<br>
