PSA: Mouse Input is broken in this game (looks similar to bad frame timing)

Mouse input is broken, which ruins an otherwise well optimised game. This looks to be getting confused with poor frame timing in a lot of threads, but controller input is unaffected. For reference...

INFO – Marked As Solution For Visibility

Hi everyone,

Thanks for sharing your experiences and feedback so far. We understand this issue is especially frustrating when it impacts your ability to play smoothly with a mouse. While we’ve asked for similar information before (here), to move forward and make meaningful progress, it is absolutely essential that you provide detailed and precise information responding to the specific request below. Giving vague comments without concrete details won’t help us troubleshoot, escalate, or investigate effectively.

If you’re able to, please reply directly to this post by clicking the Reply button on this post. This keeps your info neatly organised and makes it much easier for us (and the studio) to track everything. Please avoid replying to the original post or posting at the bottom of the thread, as this makes it harder for everyone to follow the conversation.

Here’s what would be super helpful for us to know:

Mouse mode (wired or wireless)

Mouse polling rate (e.g. 1000Hz)

Whether you’re using mouse software (like Razer Synapse)

Where your mouse is plugged in (PC, monitor, hub, etc.)

Keyboard model and connection type (wired/wireless)

Keyboard polling rate

Whether you’re using keyboard software

Where your keyboard is plugged in

Monitor model

Full PC specs (CPU, GPU with driver version, RAM)

Full Windows OS version (not just "Windows 11")

Whether Gsync or VRR is enabled

Full screen mode (fullscreen, borderless, windowed)

Which platform do you play on (EA app or Steam)

Any overlays active during play (Discord, EA app, Nvidia overlay, etc.)

CPU and GPU usage percentages while playing

Whether the issue improves with a framerate cap (e.g. 125 FPS)

The more details you can share, the better we can help. We know it’s a lot to ask, but this is the only way we can ensure the right information reaches the team and move things forward.

Thanks so much for your patience and for helping us out with this. We really appreciate it!

Just want to share my thoughts, that the Winter Offensive update did improve my experience. It's still not perfect, but it feels better. I cannot provide hard numbers but I say got about 50 percent improvement.

For the record: I use a custom config to tweak the CPU usage of the game. And if you read the comments down below, DICE confirms, that the mouse polling problem is related to high CPU usage.

I believe you're mistaking the better feeling for the update they did to improve how much recoil affects mouse sens (which is an absolute -iq mechanic made to nerf mnk) . 125 polling rate is still there if I open bf6 then open my mouses software it shows 125hz.

Endgame gear op1 mouse btw

Testing this further it doesn't seem to change my polling rate in my mouse software consistently when i launch the game. Yet no matter the polling rate I select it still stutters in game so I guess it's overriding my mouse software and not updating it or informing it I'm guessing? if someone has another software or a way to externally test the polling rate while the game is open and changing your mouse software settings plz experiment.

Maybe also try running your mouse software in administrator so maybe that makes bf6 not override it. Just spitballing
