How do you improve the latency? Especially reacting to mouse and keyboard, I have an old PC which could use that.

- withinboredom 3y agoBy decreasing latency, you decrease throughput. Thus if you have a slow and old computer, you could end up dropping inputs entirely by decreasing latency, or make it feel sluggish/laggy due to it processing a queue.
- spookie 3y agoYou're correct, I should add something to my post.
- withinboredom 3y agoFor older devices, the most gain would probably come from using a lower resolution input and a lower resolution output (to match what was available at the time). Throwing a 2k monitor on a graphics card from 2014 is probably going to be a barely passable experience (buffers weren't as big back then), same with mice.
- spookie 3y agoOh, I was mostly describing network latency and file IO cough should apply to mouse polling as well but bear in mind what another user has said. For mouse specific concerns, I would take a look at the following tutorial: https://www.quakeworld.nu/wiki/Smooth_Quake_in_Linux https://www.quakeworld.nu/wiki/Smooth_Quake_in_Linux Best of luck!
