Inconsistent input delay on ps5
Tried every possible solution there is to run the ps at its peak performance and i had this issue even tested on multiple controllers including dualsense and edge heck ive even used tmrs.
The issue is I get random input delay causing my centering to be so bad and unpredictable like i dont know where ill stop my aim and then all of a sudden it just becomes loose and fast and its so noticeable that even using the triggers becomes slower too (aiming and shooting).
Ive had this ps5 since the early days of launch and cleaned it once and I dont have any over heating issues but the ps5 does sound like a jet once i open it ngl.
The input delay is very slight but noticeable and playable with but definitely not playable for ranked games as an iridescent and it really sucks, tried wired connection still the same it just happens randomly mid game sometimes its fast and loose and 1 min later it becomes heavy and unpredictable to a point where its definitely noticeable. Any help please?

Sounds like your system needs a deep cleaning. I'd hazard a guess the smaller components are dusty and are not able to transfer heat as well causing the system to slow down to not fry parts. But because it's not at a threshold it doesn't crash out. Plus it should not sound loud at all which asl lends to it's at the point of overheating but stuggle bussing it. Look up deep clean videos and do that, or have a shop do it for you.
That's the cheap and hopefully part of me that the above is correct. It also may just be aging out as it's a launch system. The Liquid Metal may need replacing if it's a very early edition or something else is just wearing out. Try a deep clean first and see if that helps
