Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/1194

Actually performing surprisingly good in Valorant. I only use the keyboard forwarding part and put the mouse aside as the machine has another gaming mouse.

However I have noticed some issues in other game like Amid Evil where I cannot do some jumps feels lame but then I go to the host keyboard and it works right away.

Will be testing it on other games.

I've found it to be frequently the case that the mouse does not work properly with barrier (or with synergy before that, so it's not a new issue) when Windows is a client (I don't know about when it's the server). I actually had to get a USB switch to be able to switch my keyboard and mouse between my main desktop (currently FreeBSD) and my Windows desktop so that I could play games without having to physically unplug my mouse from one computer and plug it into the other.

@jmdavis I had the same issue when testing out Minecraft. But in my case both the client and server where Linux Mint and Ubuntu.

running and playing games for over 4 months this way, no struggles - worked well with all games tested.
server: 1:1 libinput driver linux with realtime kernel patches
client: ws2008r2 (it's like w7)
it seems to have less jitter and no perceivable delay perhaps even lower than windows default driver polling mechanism thing. but no measurements to (dis)prove:-(
