Does wired controller reduce input lag more than tv mode?

[bruucee]

Been playing a few tennis games. WHere timing is sxceptionally important to shot making. And the input lag was vicious. Using a xbox one controller wirelessly. My Sony oled has a game mode. Which has helped. But I don't have all the cool features that make the picture quality better. Specifically motion smoothing. Any tips?

there's always going to be a decent amount of latency on a TV vs a monitor (atleast 99% of the time) that said, going wired will help but it honestly might not be all that noticeable, due to you using a TV. what is the exact model of the TV you are using, so i can look up whats in the settings menu and see if there's any settings you should turn off/on

no
bt has some lag, but so does usb
both are about the same

The TV adds (likely) several tens if not hundreds of miliseconds (ms) to the image in the post-processing stage.

If you want different color saturation and brightness, do it on the PC. Try Reshade, SpecialK or any other post-processing injector to get the picture quality you like.
Depending on the post-processing effects in place, they only add a few ms to the processing of the image when done on the PC and is therefore cheaper than the TV.

Regarding motion smoothing:
Increase the framerate and use VRR if the TV offers such a feature.

If the game's FPS is locked, you could try Lossless Scaling's Frame Generation or AMD Fluid Motion Frames (AFMF) if you own an AMD GPU.
Lossless Scaling is available on the Steam Store:

AFMF can be activated in the AMD Radeon Software.

As any motion interpolation technique (like on the TV), it adds artifacts and latency.

The input delay form the controllers is rather negligible. MS offers an official bluetooth adapter for the xbox one controller. It could decrease the input delay when compared to a regular BT stick. The difference might be some ms.

motion smoothing adds a fake frame and doesn't improve input lag. BFI ( black frame insertion ) adds a black frame that significantly reduces brightness, adds annoying flicker and even this doesn't improve input lag.

then there is the issue with the controller. xbox controllers are the absolute worst I have ever tested. even third party brands like gamesir, gulikit and 8bitdo, create better xbox controllers than microsoft.
but so far from my experience playstation controllers are better ( but got their own set of issues ) and you can oc them to 1000hz which should in theory reduce input lag.

but let me tell you that I haven't noticed any difference between 250hz - 8000hz polling rate. some people will swear they notice a difference but upon testing my own keyboard ( k70 max which has 8000hz ) and my own mouse ( Razer Viper V2 Pro which also has 8000hz polling )

but the biggest issue is that you are using your controller wirelessly.

The lagg issues are BT itself. It's the worst option to use really.

Wireless controllers work fine and don't have input lagg if they have a dedicated wireless dongle that is not BT

and don't forget, he is using an xbox controller. even if it's a new series controller we are talking about 250hz wired and 125hz wireless polling rate which is abysmal.

for wireless anything below a 1000hz is absolutely abysmal. 4000hz is recommended and 8000hz is best but will drain the battery faster.

Controllers do not need to be that high. It helps with a Mouse because of the high DPI precision laser pointer.

obviously wireless mice were addressed with that comment and the comment before the one you responded to, I already elaborated that there isn't a huge difference between 250hz or 8000hz with a wired connection. at least at 240hz I haven't noticed any significant changes.

however he is playing wireless and using an xbox controller. 125hz wireless is abysmal. I can absolutely tell the difference between my xbox series controller ( mostly using it for fighting games ) and my ps5 dualsense when playing wireless
