USB wireless mouse pointer super slow after garuda-update

Hi All!

I've been experiencing an issue with my usb wireless mouse ever since garuda-update would result in 6.3.2-zen1-1-zen kernel. The issue is, that my mouse pointer moves super slow, rendering it basically useless. My garuda-inxi is below:

Clicks and scroll-wheel are working and testing the movements with libinput debug-events I see that POINTER_MOTIONs are getting generated. I can also say that the touchpad is still working. I might also add that the mouse works on the login screen, and only after I logged in starts to exhibit this super slowness on the screen.

Looking at the arch the forums I've found a quite similar issue:Mouse not working in 6.3 kernel / Kernel & Hardware / Arch Linux Forums

..however in my case I do not experience any freezing or boot process hangs.

When I disconnect and reconnect the USB dongle I see the below logs in dmesg:

I also have a logitech mouse with an USB wireless dongle - testing with that the result is even worse as the mouse doesn't work at all after the update.

I'm able to revert the update but I was wondering if anyone can help me fixing this issue so that I don't have to stall updating my system. I guess if the issue is with the kernel than there's not much to do (other than trying an other kernel), but I'm not qualified enough to say that the new kernel version is at fault. Thanks very much in advance!

Just install the lts kernel, and wait for a new zen kernel.
Or try amd-znver(2,3)

I tried lts already but the issue was the same with the mouse so I went back to 6.3.1 zen kernel. I'll try the amd-znver kernel then, thanks @SGS a lot for the suggestion!

Unfortunately no luck with the amd-znver kernels (2/3) either.. Is there anything else I could or should try before I go back to the last working version of the zen kernel?
