Description

### Kernel

7.2.0-1-cachyos

### Desktop Environment / Window Manager

KDE Plasma

### CPU

intel Ultra 7 265K

### GPU / Driver

Nvidia RTX 5070Ti (ASUS TUF)

### Description

The mouse feels laggy when I open KDE apps, especially Konsole, and it's been happening since the beginning. I kept using it, hoping an update would fix it.

### Steps to Reproduce

1. Login
2. Press Super key and search for Konsole
3. Open it. You should notice the lag

### Expected Behavior

It used to be very fast before kernal 7 updates, I want that back.

### Actual Behavior

It is laggy

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked log at https://paste.cachyos.org/p/46fc72f.log and reproducing the issue by opening Konsole through KDE Plasma's application search on kernel 7.2.0-1-cachyos. Compare the behavior with the reported pre-kernel-7 behavior using the available system context. Done means the KDE app launch no longer causes the reported mouse lag, with supporting evidence identifying the cause or regression.
