Wireless Mouse Click Latency Testing Explained | Logitech @ PAX

2016-09-05
hey Ron we're at the Logitech booth now at PAX West 2016 we've already talked about the new mouse keyboard and headset shown a few days ago today we're looking at some click the latency testing so this is Omni more testing methodology side pretty cool stuff before getting to how this works the content is brought to you by iBUYPOWER and their new elements gaming PC with a full tempered glass side window and front window so what we're showing here Logitech's got two mice on display they have their new g4 o3 wireless mouse it's got a wire coming out of it I'll explain that in a moment and then there is a Razer mouse as well which is a DeathAdder chroma so the point here as Logitech has explained to us is not the show necessarily that one Mouse is better than the other objectively or anything like that but that Wireless is not just in transit inherently slower necessarily than a wired a mouse so this is something we talked on Archie 900 review if you remember that and this is the same components as in the G 900 Mouse just in the G 403 in terms specifically of the the wireless configuration so what happens here I'll show you how it works first then we'll talk about the more specifics if we go here in their custom-made software we can click and got to start at first you can click and this will start tracking the inputs the latency from the clicks that I've sent to the system so you see here we're between about 10 and 12 milliseconds on the razer mouse click in that we go to the Logitech mouse and click and again keep in mind this isn't to say ones necessarily better than the other though the data will show a lot of techs have been faster Logitech is sitting between three and a half and five and a quarter inch milliseconds so the point there being that with a wireless transmission to a receiver which is what this is going into the setup over here that I'll explain momentarily the Logitech mouse is actually competitive with the razer mouse it is not inherently slower because of the wireless transmission which is again to the point that of course many people i've seen speaking about online if i use a wireless mouse it's gonna get me killed in game because it's lower so we talked about the g 900 review i won't go into it too much here but that's the data the way it works is pretty cool so they've got a custom setup and couple tools you can buy off-the-shelf but there is a custom breadboard involved this razer mouse has two cables coming out of it ones USB and one is the cable that's used to track the latency this one's just got the latest the the tracking cable off of it it's still transmitting to the USB receiver the receiver goes into one of these which is a USB analyzer so that feeds in there and then that analyzer out the other side feeds into a USB hub the same is same for the same is true for the razer one which goes to the analyzer then to the hub so the electrical signal for the click is sent first and that goes through this stuff it's fed into the via this wire right here the signal is fed into this red and black dongles that go into the custom breadboard breadboard does some processing a timer is involved to do the actual time in millisecond timing and so what comes out is as the signal we see here so that's the idea pretty cool set up something that if it becomes feasible one day I would love to do for our own test and just because it does add an objective element to Mouse reviews outside of the usual subjective stuff but for the time being that's that's kind of the concept on the whole but as always links in the description below if you want to learn more about this patreon link the postural video helps out directly I'll see you all next time you
