EDIT:
Disabling VSYNC improves a lot, try first this:
And disable mouse acceleration:

-----------------------------------------
I want to share my concern about the mouse performance on Stadia. I'm trying this things to improve the mouse input lag and stuttering.
I don't want to make silly comparisons and controversy about game streaming services, but, I'm trying in my Geforce Now account with the same game (Destiny 2) and same net conditions and the mouse works smooth and this problems are inexistents. I think that is because the NVIDIA has a desktop client that can deal with GPU options and behaviors to make a better experience, I don't know exactly but I think that the client (Chrome) is the main problem because is not optimized yet.
I think that google has to provide a better client for stadia in desktop environments and don't to be the users whose has to deal with hw acceleration flags, mouse pointer lock and external tool setups and whatever...
This is my concern because I want Stadia also to play games in desktop with keyboard and mouse, not only with Stadia Gamepad.
Adding another tip regarding this issue, it was the solution for me. I hope this will help anyone having the same issue.
I had the exact same issue using my mac. It happened suddenly after I updated to macOS Big Sur.
I'm using a Logitech G PRO mouse, I tried the chrome://flags things, disabling the mouse acceleration both in Chrome and in my Mac using command lines, and 3rd party apps nothing worked.
I downloaded Logitech G Hub and reduced the polling rate of my mouse and it worked!!
If anyone encounter this issue, even if it is not a Logitech mouse try the options mentioned above but try this too.

To fix it on windows 10 I used the properties from google chrome in the target area I copied --disable-gpu-vsync --disable-frame-rate-limit --max-gum-fps="9999" and this worked fine for me.
I hope it can help someone. ^^
I have solved this issue by using Edge in incognito mode with zero add on or extension
@TekoRaiK : What mouse driver do you, or do you have a Logitech mouse? If you have a Logitech driver what is the polling rate configured as? If you have some other branded mouse, does that report a polling rate, and if so what is the polling rate.
As for differences between Stadia and GFN, as you understand already they are completely different services using completely different technologies, so it would be quite normal to see that different behaviors occur with different setups. Not everyone has had to mess about with their Chrome settings to get things to work, but on some PC's folks have had to. Once again this is just typical of the PC environment not something specific to just running a Chrome browser etc.
Thank for the reply and the attempt to help.
I have in ubuntu a Logitech Mouse with 250Hz of mouse polling rate. Also a MacBook Pro with hewlett packard mouse and I don't know how to see mouse polling rate information. With 2 configurations I have the same results.
I understand that GFN and Stadia have some differences, I just wanted to clarify that the network is not the main problem and also that the client (Chrome in this case) should to deal with this kink of issues.
I want to clarify that in my case the gaming experience is quite good in Stadia with keyboard and mouse, the gameplay is not ruined by this. But it is a bit annoying but it is not ideal especially considering that with the gamepad it works perfectly (it is not a stream problem)
@TekoRaiK : Do you continue to get the issue if you reduce the polling/report rate of the Logitech driver further? e.g. 200 or 125?
@TekoRaiK a very interesting post. I think you are right about the the problem that some people are seeing with desktop gaming is the way that the Stadia client is running under Chrome.
I can run Stadia on a high end laptop with no problems (after disabling mouse acceleration).
On my Dell 11 3120 Chromebook (through a USB Ethernet port) I get this (tested in Destiny 2):
I think the stadia client or chrome is not handling sending packets very well, especially when there are lots of updates to send (such as moving the mouse). That ties in with the improvement people getting when lowering the mouse polling rate. I think the client or chrome has a to get a balance between the priority it puts on sending and receiving. This is a big problem they must solve before rolling out the base product, as it needs to work out of the box else people will dismiss it.
same for me except that the mouse controlling feels so much smoothen out that its realy hard to aim in games like destiny.
Ive tried both on my pc that i normally play destiny on, and on my chromebook both, and sitll have horrible input lag no matter what i try when using the mouse, To the point that I gave up and just kept using the controller.
Ive tried using both a plug and play mouse that ive got for gaming, as well as my razer atheris that i have for the chromebook. Its brutal to try and use.
I've tried the steps TekoRaik provided. There is still serious mouse input stuttering even though the frames of the game appear smooth. The game just stops receiving input from the mouse and keyboard for a few moments and then jumps to the new position.
I've also reduced my mouse polling rate to 125 to help with matters. This issue also persists when I reduce the visual quality to 720p.
Any other ideas?
Another tip, disabling vsync when you open chrome:
And disabling mouse acceleration:
https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-turn-off-mouse-acceleration-windows-10?IR=T
And using chrome canary (with step of vsync above):
https://www.google.com/chrome/canary/
Now I recommend not to disable acceleration:
Go to chrome://flags and switch on Hardware acceleration
If you are using Mac you can open chrome canary with vsync disabled with this command in a terminal:
open -a "Google Chrome Canary" --args --disable-gpu-vsync --disable-frame-rate-limit
If you are using Mac but you don't have chrome canary is almost the same command:
open -a "Google Chrome" --args --disable-gpu-vsync --disable-frame-rate-limit
To disable mouse acceleration in Mac system execute this command in the terminal:
defaults write .GlobalPreferences com.apple.mouse.scaling -1
And also in Mac this can help a lot when you are connected via wifi:

Thank Louis reducing the polling rate of my Logitech from 1000 down to 250 fixed my mouse tracking issues in Cyberpunk on a Big Sur iMac.
I was also have problems every 20 mins or so with keys getting stuck, as soon as I switched the polling rate all problems with my mouse and keyboard have disappeared!
Cyberpunk is now running like a dream on Stadia on iMac, actually hard to believe how well sometimes!
ps For anyone else suffering from similar issues I didn't use of any of the other fixes listed here, just reducing the polling rate solved all my control issues.
I just wanted to say THANK YOU for the polling rate fix. Sorted all my problems, I was about to give up trying to find the problem.
Hello!
I'm running a Windows 10 PC and using a Logitech G400s mouse with the latest Logitech Gaming Software. I have exactly the same problems: the game with Stadia stutters and lags horribly when moving the mouse. No lag or stutter when using only the keyboard or my Gamepad. Tried the mouse in different USB port, no use. Reducing the poling rate from the default 500 to 125 in the Logitech Gaming Software helps reducing the Lag, but it's still far away from "normal" and playable. Of course Both the Pointer Enhancement and the Mouse acceleration are turned off. I have ran ran out of ideas what else could be done here. Any new ideas?
To fix it on windows 10 I used the properties from google chrome in the target area I copied --disable-gpu-vsync --disable-frame-rate-limit --max-gum-fps="9999" and this worked fine for me.
I hope it can help someone. ^^

The chromebook Destiny 2 experience is pretty bad for my case. Never ending mouse stuttering, game stuttering, and keyboard inputs delayed. I have played it on Geforce Now, less of a problem there but it still appears.
Hi everyone,
This is an older post so we're going to go ahead and lock it now. If anyone still needs help after trying the suggestions here, I'd recommend creating a new post so that you can get better visibility in our community.
Thank you,
James
