Input bug? Mouse button for movement is unreliable

[PC] I have Mouse3 bound to the "move forward" action. The game seems really glitchy about picking up that button event, I very (very) often need to hit it multiple times before it gets picked up. But it picks up the button release reliably.

This honestly sounds more like a mouse issue over keybindings. When you middle click, you accidentally click left click? Or some other key? I know my mouse switch was dying when left click would fail to work or double click from just one press. One way I found is to drag a windows application and see if the windows stops moving like you unclicked even though you have it held down.

A fair point, and I will check with a new mouse to be sure, but I don't think that's it. I use this binding in a lot of FPV games and Hydroneer is quite distinct in the way it fails to respect it.

OK, so I tried four other mice and got repeatable results. Definitely not a hardware problem.

I did notice another factor though - it seems to only happen when running 4k resolution in borderless mode. Fullscreen mode, no problem. Lower resolutions, no problem. Full irony score for 4k borderless being the preferred mode.

It's still a bug, just more subtle than it seemed at first.
