I have had a bunch of problems with PS5 controllers recently.
I am noy sure you are experiencing drop outs due to physical limitations, rather due to (as I recall) recent restructuring of the kernel code handling connections to the controller and regressions introduced herein.
One way to rule out physical limitations, would be to stand next to the PC and see how it fares. What is your experience like then?
Works completely fine when I sit next to the computer and play on my monitor instead of the TV. It only occurs when I sit away from the PC, by 3 meters, roughly. I also have a Bluetooth headset I use from time to time, and that works flawlessly connected to the PC, even if I go to other rooms in the house. So pretty sure the network card itself works fine…
I use a HYTE CNVS deskpad and a Razer Firefly hard surface mousemat. I’ve found I prefer hard surface mats over cloth ones. I also really like the Razer Mamba Hyperflux, but they don’t make it anymore. It’s a Firefly mouse mat that wirelessly powers the included mouse and it’s a really neat design, though doesn’t work well if your desk has metal supports under where the mousemat goes. For that reason I use it at work, not at my gaming setup.
Maybe… If I use the stable version, it works also sometimes with PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1, but has only 2fps. I can remove this parameter with the dev version and have 45fps.
I know but I read somewhere that it could be related to Nvidia’s Vulkan 1.3 implementation in their driver. It was fine when the version was 1.2. Generally cards without ray-tracing but somehow some of the older cards are fine apparently.
I used a HyperX Fury S XXL for 4+ years with no issues before switching to a glass mousepad. I’ve heard Artisan mousepads are really good, or Artisan clones like the LGG Saturn Pro
I recently started using a piece of paper taped to a TV-dinner-table, does that count? It is a nice piece of paper though (slightly larger than standard notebook paper, it's art paper I think... something I found randomly while re-arranging things).
At one point I was using an infrared mouse which worked somewhat better on rough surfaces, so that's why I ditched the mousepad.
I used to have a hard mousepad, because I thought it was “cool”, but in retrospect it was basically no different than just using my desk would have been. They’re noisy, and 99% of them just give off edgy gamer vibes.
Cheap neoprene (or similar) mousepads are all about the same in terms of performance, but pricier ones typically look better and may last a little bit longer.
Its been about a year and I still love it, but I will note that I can see how the slightly rougher texture could be a turnoff for some people. They do have other options with different natural materials you may be interested in. IMO, all of their options look classy AF, and I like the use of more natural materials
wow wow wow! Seriously, thanks for sharing this one! These look like great quality and exactly the kind of pad I was looking for. Love the variety they have as well.
It can be very loud to move your mouse on at first (also depending on the skates on your mouse), but once the texture wears off it’s very, very smooth.
It’s not very durable, take it off a few times and it’ll probably not stick well to the desk anymore (it doesn’t ruin your desk though). I still like it the most though.
