I guess this is normal, if there is no dedicated support for the handling of the mouse cursor. In a proper VNC setup you would see a local mouse cursor and the remote one is hidden.

How remote is remote in your case? Samebuilding remote or in the cloud remote? Real Amiga or emulated? If it is a real Amiga, how fast is the network connection?

(The local VNC connection from PC to raspberry over LAN still has a very noticeable delay / drag).

There are PS/2 to Amiga keyboard adapters.

Another solution could be the PiStorm, which has keyboard and mouse "passthrough".

(I don't own an Amiga, so I haven't tested any of this, just thinking out loud).
