Mouse/Controller Combo Creates Stuttering and Frame Drop

Same issue since the update

Title: Overwatch 2 input lag after 10–20 minutes using controller + mouse (since recent update)

After the latest Overwatch 2 patch (June 2025), I’m experiencing severe input lag and stuttering when playing with a controller in my left hand (PS5 DualSense Edge) and a mouse in my right hand.

Details:

  • System: Ryzen 5800X, RTX 3070 Ti, 32GB RAM
  • Mouse: 8000Hz polling (tested down to 500Hz)
  • Controller: DualSense Edge (via USB, Bluetooth, DSX, Steam Input – all tested)
  • Only happens when controller + mouse are used simultaneously
  • No issues when using only mouse or only controller
  • After 10–15 minutes, input becomes delayed and stutters
  • Restarting the game temporarily fixes the issue
  • Happens in fullscreen, borderless, via Battle.net and Steam
  • Temps, usage and drivers are all perfectly fine

This behavior started only after the recent update and didn’t occur before. Please investigate the hybrid input queue/memory handling.

Thank you!
