Mouse stuck at 12 Mbps over USB 3.0 on Linux — how to fix low-speed HID issue?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18 Jul 2025 - 3:59pm

Hey, I’m running Bazzite KDE on my laptop and I noticed my mouse — a VXE Dragonfly SE+ — is always showing up as a 12 Mbps USB device, even when plugged into a proper USB 3.0 port.

Here’s what I get from lsusb -t:

Port 002: Dev 007, Class=Human Interface Device, Driver=usbhid, 12M

Even though the port is USB 3.0 capable (10 Gbps), the mouse connects at USB 1.1 speeds. I double-checked, it’s not going through a hub or monitor, and I’m using a direct port on my laptop (Intel i7 11800H + RTX 3070M).

I want to minimize input latency, especially for competitive gaming like Dead by Daylight. Questions: 1. Is this normal behavior for high-performance mice under Linux? 2. Any way to force reconnect as USB 2.0 (480 Mbps)? 3. Would tweaking usbhid or using hid_polling help with latency? 4. Could this be a quirk of the mouse itself? On Windows it feels snappier.

Any help or optimization tips would be appreciated!

Is there a good DS4Windows alternative for Linux?

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18 Jul 2025 - 3:32pm

I use DS4Windows on, well... windows. But I'm wondering if there's a good alternative on Linux... And yes, I know "it just works", but I mean more advanced features. Like x360 controller emulation support, or setting the deadzone/antideadzone, or hiding the physical controller like HidHide does. And I also use a profile where the swipe up & down on the touch pad are mapped to F1 and F3.

Update borked config of my controllers

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18 Jul 2025 - 3:13pm

Just launched Elite Dangerous only to discover all my controls had reverted to a default setting. ED does this when any controller changes.

Upon further investigation in Wine control panel, what used to be a "Generic Gamepad Controller" (or something like that, ED recognized it as "0079189C") it now thinks it is a "Nintendo Switch Pro Controller". It is actually a steering wheel and pedals, but always worked fine as a generic controller.

BUT! It looks like Wine is just acting off what the base system is saying. In jstest it reports ".Pro controller", so i think the misreporting is happening here.

I did just do a kernel update this morning, so it could be related.

I don't want to just remap everything because a) it takes ages, so many controls, and b) the pedals for the steering wheel are now acting as digital instead of analogue and the other mappings are also borked.

How can i get the system back to recognizing the steering wheel and pedals as a "generic" controller?

EDIT: Just to add, lsusb also shows it is as a nintendo controller, which it isn't.

Try reboot if steam crashes on startup after recent update

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18 Jul 2025 - 1:21pm

A seg fault was reported last night (https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/12211). I saw the same thing this morning after installing Ubuntu updates. A reboot fixed the issue for me. 'course, that issue is a place to comment if a reboot doesn't fix the issue for you.

Mouse Macros uner Nobara / Fedora

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18 Jul 2025 - 1:15pm

Hi folks,

I want to set a macro which will right click my mouse every 3 seconds and I just let it be. Before moving to Linux I'd just use the Razer software to do this which came with the mouse, but now what are the tools to do this and without having to learn to code?

Thanks!

Wine using wrong GPU while launching Ubisoft game

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18 Jul 2025 - 1:15pm

Hey, I've been trying to get AC Odyssey to work on my laptop that's running Arch, but it seems to be running on my integrated graphics (Intel i5) instead of my dedicated graphics (Nvidia RTX 3060). The odd thing is that when I first launched the game, while it was installing (a Ubisoft feature), it seemed to work perfectly, with only a tiny bit of lag. However, after restarting it to change some settings, the game looked horrible. I'm using Wine version 10.12. I've also tried to launch it via Lutris, but that doesn't yield any better results. So I was wondering where I could change the preferred GPU for Wine. Thanks in advance

Need help setting up NVSE for Fallout New Vegas

Reddit Linux_Gaming - 18 Jul 2025 - 10:58am

Hello,

I tried it on my own, but since I could not find what to do on linux specifically I unpacked the files into the FNV folde, launched the nvse_loader.exe with wine and it just crashed. So now I have fresh installation of FNV and I patched it with the FNV 4GB Patcher .

The reason I am doing it is to fix the tab out.

thx
