Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/195

Operating Systems

Server: Ubuntu 18.10

Client: MacOS 10.14

Barrier Version

2.1.0

Steps to reproduce bug

Run server on Ubuntu, client on Mac, when mousing around the client the speed is hyper-fast. This is not in games but in normal usage. (it might be in games, but that's how it's different from other tickets)

It's like I'm missing a setting to change the client mouse speed in barrier.

Other info

  • When did the problem start to occur? at start
  • Is there a way to work around it? No
  • Does this bug prevent you from using Barrier entirely? Yes, it's just too twitchy

I can find discussion about this but nothing concrete. It seems like there's gotta be a speed scaling config.

That's probably happens when you have different resolutions on your machines.
Eg Linux 4k server and mac 2k client. Mouse will be twice faster on mac because resolution is lower.

Thanks. I imagine that's the case. So it isn't configurable? I'm surprised to not see this come up more often as a problem.

Seems to be a duplicate issue. I can't think back to the original person who had this HiDPI issue, but I've had people report it before.

I got the same issue but reveresed. Mac mouse is faster and more movement is necessary on Ubuntu. And thats with two 4K displays.
