The input "lag" with wireless controllers is not in any way comparable to the lag introduced by streaming your game over the internet. For example, tests have shown that my current wireless mouse — the Logitech G602 — has no more latency than a wired mouse. (The range is crap, but that's another issue.) Nor have I had any latency issues using my Logitech F710 gamepad, even with high octane games like Super Meat Boy.
- vegardx 12y agoCould you link to some of those tests? I'm finding it a little hard to believe, just with the amount of noise that is on the frequencies used.
- archagon 12y agoUnfortunately, it's hard for me to find now since I bought the mouse years ago. But it has a dedicated receiver and a 500hz polling rate with a reported 2ms latency. Having to be no more than a few feet away from the receiver probably helps. (In my experience, it just sporadically stops working once the mouse gets too far away instead of introducing lag.) And again, with the previous generation of Logitech's wireless gamepad, I was able to complete Super Meat Boy 100% with no issues at all. Good luck doing that with any degree of latency! (I've noticed that Bluetooth tends to be significantly more laggy, but that might just be confirmation bias.)
