The KDE Goals initiative is working to improve support for input devices such as game controllers, fancy mice, handhelds — anything for your gaming needs.
This Sunday, Oct 20th at 18:00 (UTC), the KDE Goals champions will be answering your questions live. Post your questions here and I’ll make sure they’ll answer them.

You can get in touch with the community at the Matrix room.
I’m curious. What’s the use case for two (or more) mice?
Co-op web browsing and also pvp
pvp? are there games that can handle this? or you mean something else?
I mean that just by having two people with a mouse cursor at the same time is already a competition to see how can actually use the pc
I develop Programs out of scratch using C++, GLFW and glad to communicate with my GPU using OpenGL. Thats my definition for “out of scratch”
I had ideas to create fun little games using multiple mouse inputs. But I was lazy to switch to Gnome because gnome didnt support VRR and I just wanted to push this idea first so it comes to KDE. Its nonsense to create something that will only work on one specifix Desktop Environment.
There is potential for a new Perspective of Game creatioms, but the question is also, can a Program detect different mices? I mean, doesn’t matter. Just make the game run 4 seperate Windows and handle the input seperately.
I also slowly start to use Godot and Bevy instead of playing around with C++ and OpenGL
A lot of new game ideas.
It was a wish when I started to develop my own 3D Engine with OpenGL.
But after finishing it to a point where I am happy, I would try going to Godot and Bevy.
Maybe I will try to create something first in Gnome, but I dislike Gnome a bit after 3 Years of usage and a switch to KDE for 2 Years.
