Wireless vs Wired: Apakah Latensi Aksesori Nirkabel Masih Jadi Masalah di Game Kompetitif?
This article analyzes whether wireless peripheral latency is still an issue in competitive gaming. It explains concepts like latency and input lag, detailing the evolution of wireless technology from Bluetooth to 2.4 GHz frequencies and the impact of polling rates. The piece also discusses the advantages of wireless peripherals for esports athletes, such as freedom from cable drag and improved mobility, while also addressing remaining challenges like battery management and potential radio interference.
I set out to prove polling rate affects my aim and instead found my favourite DPI setting
A PC gamer tested how mouse polling rates and DPI settings affect aim in the Aimlabs software. Using an Asus Rog Harpe II Extreme Edition mouse, they found that while higher polling rates like 8,000 Hz offer faster communication, a 1,000 Hz polling rate felt most comfortable and provided good performance. The analysis also highlighted that lower DPI settings, favored by professional players, yielded better scores.
Scuf's dual-compatible pro controller is too little and too pricey
The Scuf Omega controller is a dual-compatible PC and PlayStation 5 controller that falls short of expectations due to its price, build quality, and lack of competitive-level polling rate. While it offers numerous customizable buttons and comfortable ergonomics, it is outmatched by similarly priced competitors like the Razer Raiju V3 Pro and Wolverine V3 Pro, and significantly outperformed by more affordable options from GameSir.
GameSir officially launches the PC version of its G7 Pro controller, unlocking a ludicrous 8,000Hz polling rate for less…
GameSir has officially launched the PC version of its G7 Pro controller, featuring an 8,000Hz polling rate for enhanced responsiveness. This new model is available for $89.99 in the US and UK, positioning it as a more affordable alternative to the Razer Wolverine V3 Pro 8K. While the practical difference for most players is minimal, the higher polling rate offers peace of mind for competitive gamers and maximizes the potential of advanced thumbstick technology.
This tool tells you exactly how much your latency could improve by changing your mouse's polling rate
A new tool developed by YouTuber BaldSquid allows PC gamers to precisely measure the impact of mouse polling rates on input latency and frame rates. The spreadsheet tool helps users determine if increasing polling rates, such as from 1 kHz to 8 kHz, provides a tangible benefit by offsetting potential frame rate drops.
