Mouse Input Mode lets you control an on-screen mouse pointer using your controller, instead of a physical mouse or touchscreen. This is helpful when using desktop apps, menus, or games during streaming that require a pointer. How to Enable It 1. Go to Settings → Inputs. 2. Set a button combination under Mouse Input Keys. 3. While streaming, press that combination to toggle Mouse Input Mode on or off. Controls While Active | Control | Action | | ------------------ | ------------------------- | | Left Stick | Move the mouse pointer | | Right Stick | Scroll up/down/left/right | | RT (Right Trigger) | Left click | | LT (Left Trigger) | Right click | | RB (Right Bumper) | Move the pointer faster | | LB (Left Bumper) | Move the pointer slower | Tips - You can swap left/right click and reverse scroll direction under Swap Mouse Keys and Swap Mouse Scroll in Settings. - If you only use one finger on a touchscreen, your controller's triggers can act as mouse clicks automatically, even without turning Mouse Input Mode on.

Changing the Video Codec

Spacerun lets you choose which video codec is used to stream your session. Different codecs trade off image quality, bandwidth usage, and device compatibility, so picking the right one can improve your streaming experience. How to change it 1. Open Spacerun and go to Settings. 2. Select the Stream tab. 3. Under Codec, choose the option that fits your setup: - H.264 - best compatibility, works on almost any device. - HEVC - better quality at the same bandwidth, needs a supported device/GPU. - AV1 - best efficiency, requires a modern device with AV1 decoding support. Click here to jump straight to this setting. Tips - If your device doesn't support a codec, streaming will fail to start — switch back to H.264. - Lower-bandwidth connections benefit most from H.265 or AV1. - Changing the codec doesn't affect resolution or frame rate settings.

Checking Supported Games

Spacerun runs your games on Linux cloud instances. Since not all games are built for Linux, we rely on Proton compatibility to run Windows games. You can check how well a game runs before playing. How to check 1. Go to ProtonDB. 2. Search for your game by name. 3. Check the compatibility rating: - Platinum / Gold — runs great, no issues expected. - Silver — runs well, minor issues possible. - Bronze — playable, but with noticeable issues. - Borked — not recommended, likely won't run. Tips - Ratings come from the community and may vary by game version. - If a game has a low rating, check the reports on ProtonDB for specific workarounds. - Some games may run better or worse on Spacerun than reported, since our setup differs from a personal Linux PC. Still unsure? Contact support with the game name and we'll confirm if it's supported on Spacerun.
