For share it affects it. Resistance of wire is main thing, more wire means more time for button to send signal, connectors and so forth will really affect it because it’s hopping different materials as well.
Anyone know when these things hit the street. I need a third stick to take my shaft mod and this seems to be the best fit with the case inside.
Does anyone know the estimated ship time from razer? Amazon has it listed as 1-3 months and gamestop says the stick comes out in December. I tried to order one a week ago but their site is garbage and their customer service thus far has been terrible, but I like their products. I got mad and bought a FH case to build but the more I see the Atrox, the more I want one. I just don’t want to wait around for it for a long time.
There’s maybe a few nanoseconds in the wiring, but at that point you’re orders of magnitude ahead of the game’s main loop so it’s entirely moot in a vast majority of cases.
Most games probably have a main loop cycling at 60hz, or 16.7ms, or 16,700,000 nanoseconds. A USB cable is rated for no worse than 5 nanoseconds per meter of wire. So if we assume the average wiring in the stick from button to the end of the cable is twice that, 10ns, you’d still need over a thousand miles of wire to reliably push a button into the next frame.
If you don’t push the button presses into the next logic frame, then it doesn’t matter who pushed first, the game will produce an outcome as if both had pressed at the same time.
Technically, I was using a similar setup to Toodles, wiring a single button to both boards. Only difference is that he kept score while I simply used the in game life bars.
I didn’t check the exact pinout, but the board is fairly the same. Difference now is there’s an extra pin header for the joystick, all the buttons, and usb.
I guess I’ll just check out the dual-mod pics with Cerberus again after I get a Razer – that’s IF I get a Razer Atros joystick.
Never done a dual-mod off of a 360-PCB board… Looks simple enough with the Cerberus.
I will definitely have to get a better solder iron, though! The Radio Shack models are crap…
