Game controller input lag

4.5

There is a noticeable delay between pressing a button and the action on screen.

Symptoms
  • "Heavy" feeling controls
  • Delayed movement
  • Missed timings
Possible Causes
  • Bluetooth interference
  • TV "Game Mode" off
  • V-Sync enabled

Step-by-Step Fix

1

Disable V-Sync

Vertical Sync adds significant input lag; turn it off in game settings.

2

Enable TV Game Mode

If playing on a TV, ensure the "Game Mode" picture preset is active.

3

Use USB Cable

Wired connections have the lowest possible latency.

When to See a Technician

High input lag is often caused by post-processing effects in the game or on the monitor/TV.
