@ForeverMasterless 2 года назад

The wireless adapter just seems more stable and reliable is the main reason I use it. If the only Bluetooth device you have is the controller it's usually fine but I've run into issues having both the controller and a Bluetooth headset connected at the same time (and yes this was with a very nice wireless card with giant antennas and everything). Imo it's never a bad idea to give your controller it's own dedicated wireless lane, so to speak.

@Gentamoru 2 года назад

Just what I was thinking, I didn't know which one would be best tho :P, although my headset is from corsair and it already has a dedicated wireless adapter

@TheStereoField 2 года назад

5 ms is less than one frame of delay until you’re playing at 200+ fps. So if you are hella sweaty and play at 240hz+ maybe it makes sense to buy the adapter. But for 60 or 120 fps guaranteed you’re not ever going to notice.

@tek1645 2 года назад

That's because you have old Bluetooth. My wifi 6 adapter also includes Bluetooth 5.0 where I can connect multiple devices without any problems

Has any testing that you've done shown any differences in input latency for different buttons? Thank you for putting all this data together! :-)

Thanks bud! I used the same button for this test. But that's a great question, I'll put it on the list of things to test out.

@Simlife101 Год назад

I saw input lag tests done on the PlayStation DS4 controller and it was shocking that wired was slower than wireless. Wireless with DS4 windows I've seen it do 2.8ms so imagine 2 equal players one on wired xbox and one on ds4 with ds4 windows. The DS4 player would fire their gun soooo much faster and in a game like say Cod that is insane advantage. I guess this is why ALL (that I have seen) Pro players and streamers (Yes streamers are NOT Pro as I hear them called so often) use DS4 controller I guess

@ViciousXUSMC 2 года назад

Thank you for this video, I am trying to use Game Stream and it felt laggy to me. After messing with some settings I got it down to about 3-4ms of latency added by streaming, but every bit I can cut off will help. I think a couple of other things to note. The XBox adapter adds some extra features and in some cases may be more stable than BT. Also one thing missing is what BT adapter you were using, a dongle, built in, etc and what BT version it was using. You may find better/different results using a newer BT protocol or built in vs external for interference reasons.

@FrameCounting 2 года назад

I was using BT 4.2 that’s built into my system for this test.

@jam471975 3 года назад

Awesome thanks for the video... I'm waiting on my wireless adapter to be delivered today. The main reason why I got the wireless adapter is because I heard it does not suffer from the frequent disconnects that Bluetooth does... but great to hear it also has less latency.

@telmopaz 3 года назад

How did it go? I ordered one just now not only because of disconnects, in some games vibration with bluetooth drops frames like there is no tomorrow.

@jam471975 3 года назад

@@telmopaz it's definitely way better. It's hard to explain but the controller feels way different with the adapter... Definitely feels like it has better control which is probably due to better latency.

@MaramRohan Год назад

Great job with the test! However, such tests do not say the whole story. When you are constantly pressing multiple buttons at the same time while playing, the bluetooth mode will struggle with the inputs. You can actually fell a delay in comparison to wireless adapter. As always, wired is the best! 👍

@captainbarracuda5505 2 года назад

I would expect some variance between different bluetooth chips. I purchased the xbox adapter after noticing a difference between Bluetooth and wired, hoping to strike a middle ground for casual gaming, which it did. I am interested to run these tests myself now, on my own devices.

@Finalzero 3 года назад

Can confirm that. If I plug in a bluetooth adapter at the back of my computer most of times gaming becomes almost impossible. It will always lose connection or I have issues with ghost inputs. But the wireless adapter on the other hand works perfectly fine. Never had an issue with that and my adapter is still the old "bulky" one.

@Uzaair 2 года назад

The difference between the Bluetooth and Xbox adapter doesn't seem all that significant. I get a really stable connection over Bluetooth so I'm good sticking with that. For those struggling with Bluetooth connection, consider using an extension adapter to place your dongle somewhere where it's not impeded by other electronics.

@FrameCounting 2 года назад

Thanx for the tip!

@JGAbstract Год назад

I'm using my PC's Bluetooth from the Mobo. I have to keep my hands above my desk (my pc is on top of my desk) or else it will disconnect. It still disconnects every now and then. I don't have an issue with the lag, it's just the random disconnects. I was playing fall guys and it disconnected, leaving my character running is circles a hair away from the map's edge for 5 seconds lol

@joonmirvae Год назад

@@JGAbstract if you have open usb pass-throughs on your keyboard or monitor, try placing your bluetooth adapter there instead of the MoBo port. It became stable to me that way, even where ever i place my controller below desk or on my lap.

@FrameCounting 2 года назад

Agreed! It’s essentially the same.

@SamuraiGuy Год назад

Even then, it's not that big of a difference. The most dissapointing part of the video was learning that the latency for wired was so high.

@fikryd 11 месяцев назад

as me a hardcore DMC player, its really matter for the combo. like I know when the stick is lagging, my combo wasn't supposed to be like that. Bluetooth is the worst, wireless dongle/adapter work well.

@Rave.- 9 месяцев назад

Anyone that plays a game that has tight reaction times (at any decently competitive level) will tell you 10ms is game changing. There's a reason entire servers for games/companies (and sometimes the players themselves) are relocated to different states and countries just for slightly less lag.

@sergiopery Год назад

I'm not sure if I'm not understanding the test here but you would need some sort of digital indicator of the button press on video for the test to be valid, an LED lighting up as the button has truly sent it's signal. I would wire an LED to the + on the button signal.

@jameszhong4314 3 года назад

look at how consistent the wired connection is! wired is really the way to go if you're doing competitive gaming. But I use my controller to play single-player/campaign/stories, so I don't really care about the lag. I even turn on v-sync when I play those non-competitive games.

Really useful test with smart design. Yet the end to end latency did not exclude the system latency, e.g. monitor flash rate, gpu latency etc . Let us say wired input latency is 5ms. Then according to this test, Xbox wireless has input latency 8ms, BT latency is around 15ms. This is a considerable latency improvement. Of course, the end to end latency is dominated by the system latency now so it doesn't matter what wireless connection we are using.
