I also am using 2.11.1 and have had a great experience with looking glass. One thing i recommend if you just cannot get input to work well is to just pass through another keyboard and mouse. Also make sure you are capturing the keyboard and mouse with scroll lock or the key you set if you changed it.
With the RTX 2060 card I have I just ended up using a cheap HDMI kvm off of amazon and hooked it up directly to the video card, using the type-c port on the RTX as the usb controller. I know it bypasses looking glass, but it works. Just another idea.

Yeah I definitely only have 2.11.1 but I’m not sure if it would be worth it to upgrade since I just passed my keyboard through and that works fine. The command I used was qemu-systen-x86_64 --version
Would it be worth upgrading to try and fix the stutter issue or should I try cpu pinning first?
I would try pinning first, then upgrade. I think you’re probably encountering the qemu version issue, but the CPU pinning will probably be easier.

Exactly as the instructions state, pass the -f switch.
do i use -f PATH Specify the path to the shared memory file

no, run the host exe with the -f switch, not the client.
do i use HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
i dont know how to pass the -f switch

Open a command prompt, and run:
cd PATH
looking-glass-host.exe -f
Where PATH is the location of the looking-glass-host.exe

If you’re not using spice then add -s ALL.
EDIT: Also, make sure you read ALL the switches available, get familiar with them.

Ok so I did cpu pinning and I also upgraded my qemu to 3.1 and I saw a large improvement in my vm on another monitor but LG is still stuttering a lot.
