PSA: Mouse Input is finally fixed in this game!

[Jyoosi]

Edit: Old details left below for archiving, but as of today's update (09/06/2026) the mouse issues have now been fixed. Thank you for everyone's contributions, we can finally enjoy the game :)

--- ORIGINAL POST ---

Mouse input is broken, which ruins an otherwise well optimised game.

For reference, I easily average over 100fps even on the bigger maps, but panning the camera with mouse input makes the game feel like it's running at 15fps despite no drops.

In-game reporting confirms it's running perfectly, as CPU/GPU are always rendering within 10fps of eachother.

Connect a controller though? Buttery smooth camera panning, and easy to track enemies. No hitches or stutters, just butter.

I've tried:
- All polling rates, from 125hz up to 4000hz
- Toggling raw input on/off
- Enabling/disabling Nvidia reflex
- Changing USB ports, changing to different mice, wired/wireless
- USB power saving etc all turned off
- I even tried a driver/Nvidia CP restore, but as controller is super smooth, this was a long shot in the first place

Unfortunately the game is unplayable using a mouse on PC due to this. It's next to impossible to track targets, and you quickly get a headache from the micro stuttering when panning. The effect is very similar to Helldivers 2 on PC, when you turn off 'Mouse Smoothing', as that game has serious issues with raw mouse input.

Happy to hear suggestions on how to fix this.

Mice tried:
- Keychron M4
- Logitech G305
- Logitech G604
- Razer Naga Hyperspeed
- AttackShark M1

I've also tried on an entirely different PC, same results. OLED as always exhacerbates the issue too, due to the awesome pixel response times. I fear many won't see it due to slower LCDs.

Specs are:
5700x3d
3060ti 8GB
32GB DDR4 3600 CL16
AW3423DW (Gsync module version)

This is on a fresh Windows install, up to date drivers (tried DDU as well to be sure), but honestly since it's running beautifully with a controller, this looks to be purely a mouse input issue.

No other games exhibit this issue other than... Helldivers 2, and Battlefield V. BF1 is butter on mouse, as are BF3 and BF4. Helldivers 2 can be fixed by turning on mouse smoothing in game.

I almost bought a GPU upgrade before testing the Xbox controller, saved myself £600.

+1 on this. Hope they fix it.

Other topics on EA forums too for reference along with a duplicate of this, as some are now reporting frame time issues which might actually be caused by the mouse input:

Thank god thought I was going crazy, getting 200fps+ when moving mouse feels like it dips to 60

[Deistra]

got the same issue.
playing on a LG C1 tv oled with mouse and keyboard. the juddery camera movement with mouse is horrible.
i thought I could fix it with a higher polling rate mouse and was about to buy one but thanks to u im not gonna have to.

they need to fix their mouse code.

It looks to be picking up a lot of traction on the EA technical forums now, so hopefully it's a fix they can implement.

This game will be insanely fun once the input issues are fixed.

Doesn't affect mouse aiming unfortunately, issue persists even with controller aim assist off.

If no one has tried it yet, I suggest going into the game files, right clicking on the bf6.exe, selecting 'properties', going into 'compatibility', and disabling fullscreen optimizations. It's enabled by default for all win10/11 OS's. It's a nightmare and not only crashes some older games, but makes a few newer, unoptimized, games freak out

I have it off by default for every app, I do not remember how I did it though

Anyways, fullscreen optimizations is known to increase input lag, cause issues with overlays, can mess with DLSS/FSR, and a host of other problems. PS if you haven't and it's enabled for some reason, try disabling frame generation, I've noticed it mess with input as well

Same issue, hope it gets fixed soon.

This is terrible. Exactly the same problem here. I've tried everything with the settings and hardware, but no luck. I thought it was just me. EA needs to fix this ASAP!

[Big Boss]

this. tried playing on controller but having no aim assist makes it actually worse than trying to play with glitched mk inputs.

Try turning off vsync and gsync and cap your fps to 60 instead with mix of low/Medium settings with that rig, It's not your mouse and keyboard likely the Nvidia drivers causing stutters, no issues here with my full AMD setup.

[AOW BlueThunder]

Immediate do not recommend happened halfway through my first game. Is this something that will easily get patched over in a day or two? Yeah. It will. But thats not good enough. Major ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ AAA studios just cannot seem to finish and properly test their ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ games like they used to *mostly do every time. And its these same greedy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ companies that try to justify raising the prices of games. I have been wanting a return to form of BF4, like I assume every BF fan has wanted since... BF4. And I hear this is it. Ill give it some time to grow up before I come back. Flashbacks of Dawncrasher, I mean Dawnbreaker all over again. I know this sounds really whiny, but seriously, I decide to spend 70 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dollars. I sit here and watch the game install. And it breaks on my first match??

That's a very long winded way of saying "Just play on console"

I jest, but in all seriousness BF has a history of this issue. It's easy to blame Nvidia but in reality it's the interns EA hire to code AAA releases.

No settings changes will fix it unfortunately.
