You're late in that Selnor, we have posted measurements and the lag USB adds is ~0.1 ms.

Thats alot in a shooter. Damn.

If you can actually perceive a 0.1 ms difference in an online game, I'll pay you $1,000,000 every day for the rest of your life.

You realize this much faster than the cones and rods in our eyes can actually accumulate and transmit photonic data?  Add in neural recognition and it's even worse.

That's 1/50th the time of the average digital camera's standard 1/125 shutter speed (faster than the fastest shutter speed available on any conumer grade DSLR camera)   Or 1/4,000 the time it takes you to blink.  

 

The TV lag and controller lag are far, far greater than that anyway.

Selnor is not known for doing good math so you need to explain in details that .1ms is 1/10000th of a second, even if a game runs in, lets say, ideally 60FPS, that's about  .006 per frame difference LOL! Anyways, like you said before in this thread, dongle is 15 bucks on amazon, but I just want to once again stress that you can find it in a lot of other places for like 10 USD, I'd encourage people to get them while they still can. Wifi is bad because of the way it deals with data, there are too many small packets  constantly going which makes it a lot more inefficient over wireless compared to an actual wire connection, even playing MHTri with my dongle was much better than wifi and that's with an AP right in my room!
