Some days ago i was asked for some people to tell how to know and check and solve The Input Lag Latency over mouse, Keyboard even other peripheral as Audio Headset etc. Well,. the thing is so simple as it follows. To check the REAL latency added to your gaming mouse, or gaming Keyboard, Headset the most important thing to do, is just check if they are connected to the best port possible usb to direct CPU DIE, this, is what really matters, and is easy to check doing this as admin in PowerShell Cmd: irm https://tools.mariusheier.com/cpudirect.ps1 | iex  You will see there a complete description of what periphericals you have connected to your MotherBoard and who are the ones are directed connected to the CPU Die. This is important, because means the input lag that you will have over those showed in grenn like in this picture tells you if the mouse, keyboard etc are correctly connected to your CPU in DIRECT way, what means the input lag in those ones are significant less or even 0. CHeck the pics and the website here to get more info about how its works: https://tools.mariusheier.com/cpudirect.html  So when you see the ports are in green, they are placed in the correct USB closer to CPU DIE, less or 0 Latency. If shows in Orange, device -[CHIPSET]- [CPU] Through chipset - slight overhead is not the best but still can be used with a minimal Latency in the MotherBoard DIE. But if your usb mouse or keyboard headset or receivers for inhalambric or wireless mouse etc are in RED, device -[HUB]-[CHIPSET]- [CPU] Through hub - adds latency, What also can be cause you are using a USB multiport or HUB. (not recommended for gamming attach there nothing like a gaming mouse keyboard etc) So the thing is, you can disconnect, and re-connect port b y port, usb for usb, and run the test to be sure you have your periphericals in the correct USB. Then you also can run the MSI_util_v3.exe Tool to point all your settings at highest levels manually or auto with this program: https://workupload.com/file/3hdShxRGWhg Or: https://github.com/Sathango/Msi-Utility-v3 Final step, make this CMD lines in CMD As ADMIN: winget upgrade --all (upgrade all your programs drivers etc, in one single cmd command) chkdsk (your drive letter here): /r sfc /scannow DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth netsh winsock reset netsh int ip reset netsh int tcp reset netsh advfirewall reset ipconfig /flushdns ipconfig /release ipconfig /renewmdsched (Windows Memory Diagnostic)  Also then you can download and list for keep all your installed drivers, in an usb or disk etc to have copy of all them for a new pc, or backup etc doing this in CMD as Admin: dism /online /export-driver /destination:D:\MIKEL\DRIVERS  Then select usb or disk to keep them in safe place just in case you need this for a reinstall, new pc etc etc. Finally, restart or Reboot your PC.  Hope this helps people.  Mikel    RobMc 1

Where i mentioned here about a 20 years Old Game? Lol! You have not read the post, or tried this solution right? Its not for a 20 years old game.. Itsss for ANY game, actual, present,past or future. The Latency or the Input Lag makes a big difference when you play, specially in modern games. But yeah, also works in ANY 20 Years old game.  Mikel Edited April 16 by MikelMahou
