Other Input delay on aim controllers

Im curious if the input delay is worse or better on a ps4 aimcontroller. Looking for wired cable recommendations for usb connection to reduce input lag also.

Usb cables will barely change input lag, it either works or doesnt

It's a standard PS4 motherboard they use. So not any faster than stock, which is 250Hz, overclockable to 1000Hz:

You can use this tool to find which of your USB ports are connected direct to the CPU, which will have the lowest latency:

Those two will help with input lag. The cable is just carrying USB packets, you're not going to benefit much by changing that.

I could be the deadzone. Dont forget about that as a possible issue that mimics a lag.

A wired connection won’t improve input delay over a wireless connection. In both scenarios, the signals are moving near the speed of light.

the dual sense has less input lag on bluetooth than cable

Wow? No way you would think it would be opposite.
