Input Delay
Input lag or input latency is the amount of time that passes between sending an electrical signal and the occurrence of a corresponding action. In video games the term is often used to describe any latency between an input and either the game or the display reacting to that input, despite the fact that this may emerge from a combination of input and output lag. Potential causes of delay from pressing a button to the game reacting The potential causes for "input lag"- according to the second definition- are described below (steps which have negligible contributions to the input lag have been omitted).
