Thanks for taking the time to run these tests Teyah. Would you be able to test the Razer Atrox (XBOX 360 version)? There are a few top players that use that stick and some numbers would be nice
Edit: I just saw that you’re not able to test it out in one of your earlier posts. I’ll send you a PM. If I can get a hold of a Razer Atrox, I’m willing to ship it to you for testing.
Xrd tests will be in the same format as the XX tests. Instead of using throw breaks I’ll come up with something else. I’m pretty good with frame data
The HRAP3 SA is just an HRAP3 with Sanwa buttons, so it should be the same rating. If somehow it does improve, it won’t be any higher than 10 ms as with the other licensed PS3 sticks.
More out of curiosity’s sake than anything else, is it possible to do testing on the PC, especially with the dualmod PCBs? Curious to see how they’d differ than the console results. OR would there to be too many variables with drivers and such to get any sort of meaningful information.
Testing on PC would have the fewest variables possible. Since this stick lag testing compares sticks to each other rather than gives exact lag values, the numbers would be nearly the same on PC. However, since the polling rate of USB input devices can go up to 1000hz on PC, the variation in lag because of slow polling could be eliminated. Moreover, since the PC is a common platform where sticks of all consoles can be tested on the same game, you could even produce values representing the universal difference in lag between sticks of different consoles. A single, faultless platform on which to test all the sticks available, even against sticks of other consoles. Drivers wouldn’t matter, because all sticks of the same platform would use the same driver. The 360 rank would still be representative of what you’d see on the 360, and same for the PS3 (except of course without the polling rate variable). You’d even be able to test XBone and PS4 sticks.
Anyway, that’s just wishful thinking from me. I’m too skint and lazy to do it myself
I am interested in the HRAP4 Hayabusa. Hopefully, that one gets some testing time on both PS3 and PS4. I’m holding off on purchasing one until I see some test results. I see that you won’t likely test anything on Xbox One, which is disappointing, but I understand. Your work is top notch, Teyah. It’s really helpful.
I’ll be testing on PS4 in the early new year, once my copy of Xrd arrives. I’ll have PS4&PS3 test results up for the Dual Shock 4, HRAPv4, and PS360+ at that time.
Also I attempted to test the Zero Delay encoder board, but I think the board I have is defective as it continuously registers inputs the moment any input is wired to it. So I won’t be able to test that one unfortunately.
Are you using the original Cronus or the pirated CronusMAX (even more info)? If you’re using a Titan One or legit Cronus the new 2.16 firmware supports virtually any USB or Bluetooth HID device and a 1ms low-latency mode. Would be interesting to see what that does for latency scores.
Latency of the official 360/One controllers in both wired and wireless would be a interesting reference point as well. All official first-party controllers should have latency scores for both wireless and wired given the popularity of pad hacks.
Speaking of pads, any possibility for getting latency on any of the Hori, MadCatz, PDP, or Razer pads? Plenty of interest in the Hori Fighting Commander 4 I’d imagine.
It’s an original Cronus adapter, firmware was upgraded about six months ago.
Regarding pad hacks, if you would like one tested, you would need to mail it over to me with QDs attached. I could then test it and have it shipped back within a week.
Pretty sure all the latency improvements were released since then, so worth picking up the latest firmware (2.16 came out this week), turning on low-latency mode, and seeing what happens.
Yes, people who actually play fighting games at a competitive level find it useful to know the level of responsiveness of different types/brands of equipment. This thread is here to serve these types of people.
There is also a much larger monitor lag thread with 1000+ posts a few topics down, I bet more people will hear your cries over there.
