Input Lag
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). Each step in the process increases "input lag", however the net result may be unnoticeable if the overall "input lag" is low enough. Controller sends signal to console For wired controllers, this lag is negligible. For wireless controllers, opinions vary as to the significance of this lag. Some people claim to notice extra lag when using a wireless controller, while other people claim ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
