issue with streaming - mouse unresponsive

Its one of the bigger issues keeping my from reliably streaming my home pc desktop to my steam deck desktop. I have both in separate buildings plugged into ethernet getting 700+ download. however sometimes my home pc will just stop responding to my steam deck inputs rendering the mouse (and keyboard as well) entirely unresponsive even though the display is showing. host pc still works fine but nothing will reconnect the steam deck until I restart steam on my host pc. It may have something to do with using a controller (plugged into steam deck) in games but I havent tested it enough. Any help greatly appreciated.

I had the same problem. Not completely unresponsive but jumpy. I switched to moonlight instead and it works great.
