Hi there, I am a completely new user in this area. I just bought, installed and started up a raspberry pi 3 with the OSMC system. Now all seemed to go ok, but I have horrible input lag when i try to do anything. There is a slight delay on the keyboard (wired) and mouse is prectically unusable (wireless).
Any help on how to fix this? Sorry if this is a duplicate, but i searched and didnt find a case quite like mine on this forum.
Thank you.
EDIT: What we figured out so far:
Mouse works on other PCs
Wired mouse works ok on the Raspberry
Well I think you should define “slight delay” clearly the Pi3 is not a power monster and the Kodi GUI is quite demanding. So it might feel a bit sluggish for new users.
With the mouse that is a different topic. The mouse movement itself shouldn’t be to sluggish.
Maybe provide logs either via MyOSMC or command line grab-logs -A so that we can advice
On first installation, when adding medias, the kodi software will analyze and scrap data.
Let it put for a couple of hours (depending on the size of your media-archive) and it should be good.
Is it an official Pi power supply or “just” a phone charger?
Phone Charger are not designed to power the Pi and may not give enough power.
This actually also could be the problem why the USB device has problems. So I suggest you get a proper powersupply
Neverless let us take a look at the logs maybe we see something else.
The keyboard lag disappeared with the restart, mouse is still lagging.
As for the PSU, it is a “power socket => USB” kind of thing with identical specs to the official PSU, so it shouldn’t be a problem. And according to internet, 2 amps, should be more than enough to run raspberry.
OK i just tried a wired mouse and that works OK, so it’s gotta be the wireless that is the issue. I tried the wireless mouse on another PC and it’s fine.
