@wowaname I messed with this a bit more. It just seems like when you don't have hardware cursor at 60hz, it feels awful. At 144hz it's tolerable, but when I go back to Xorg the difference is obvious.

I don't understand these people and tearing. I'm staring at my 60hz monitor and like yeah I guess I can see multiple cursors on the screen at the same time if I wiggle it fast. I guess it is tearing. Maybe it's my persistence of vision, I can't tell. But my brain says it's fine, it knows where the cursor is.

Tearing is digital motion blur, it's part of our vision, it's not a scourge that has to be destroyed.
