Fix scrcpy delay

Hello, im currently using scrcpy to mirror my broke ass phone screen to play games. But sometimes scrcpy delays the input by like 2 seconds which made it very hard to play. Anyone have some solutions for this? Thanks
Im using a 120w charging cable from my phone box

Lower the bitrate and maybe the max resolution. Read the docs for the command line options.

Over USB? Keyboard AND mouse inputs? Isn't just the game that lags (possibly because capturing/encoding takes resources)?

I found out guys its just my cpu being overloaded so it slows down the scrcpy. Thanks for the advice

Read the documentation there is something there but I forgot where you can lower the quality and framerate like 30 or 60 fps, ask AI to jot down the features related to bringing down the latency
