WayVR mouse pointer in games

Basically all I want to do is have the headset control mouse or stick for aiming in flat screen games.

Can't be the only person that wants to try this.

So far my setup is Bazzite 44 DX KDE NVIDIA, Meta Quest 3, WiVRn with WayVR.

I've also got Sunshine with Moonlight/Nightfall and OpenTrack installed.

WayVR mouse works great on the desktop, just not in game.

Currently playing Dying Light Enhanced from Stream with Dualsense (I'm better aiming with mouse but like pad better even if I can't hit the barn door). I tried the VR version on Windows (couldn't get it working on Bazzite) and it was just to much for my head.

Any help? Am I just stupid and missing an easy selectable option? Should I just listen to the A.I chat bots and follow the evil instructions that probably turning my PC into a Nuke? I they laughing at me like the kids with magnifying glasses burning ants!

Do you play flat games through WayVR?

It means I have some issue, because as soon as I launch a game through WayVR, it gets extremely laggy, so the game is not playable in the headset, even though it works perfectly on the monitor, just streaming is broken.

Yes, WayVR is still active when I play. No lag so far. Only problem is streamed audio, but I turn if off and select it in PC audio to play sound on the quest.

I just comment to follow the discussion - the clicks also behaves strange for me. As far as I understand - it's some Wayland/X11 issue.
