How To STOP LAG On Steam Decks When Docked!

[@NonsensicalSpudz]

another tip a lot of TVs allow you to label the device as PC and Console, do so as this will reduce latency in general

[@Davvyk]

Nonsense. Game mode on. Still lag input. It’s Related to how it handles Xbox controllers. No lag with switch controllers. Don’t waste your money on the dock he recommends. It’s got literally nothing to Do with the dock. Total Click bait video with no helpful content.

[@MemeCastGuy69]

So Pretty much, use a PS5 controller instead of an Xbox controller when playing the Steam Deck docked? I know Xbox controllers use some weird random frequency over bluetooth (2.4 I believe)

[@scrub_jay]

My TV automatically enabled Game Mode when I hooked up my Switch and PS5, so it wasn't in my mind to check that setting, but of course it was as simple as that. Thanks

[@genericyoutuber2803]

Thank you for the help, your video was really useful, and helped me with the input lag. keep up the great work man

[@bitwise7924]

LOL I was literally trying to play The Messenger docked, and starting fighting this problem rather than the Demon King. Turning Game Mode on did the trick. I run everything through an Onkyo receiver, and never noticed an issue with any other console. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Thanks! Time to get some Power Seals!

You can get 0ms pass thru latency on decent usb hubs and hdmi pass thrus as long as theyre independently powered. The second you use one that’s leeching power off the connection youre all done

1:34 game name?

Darn. I was hoping for an explanation for why my Steam deck *only* lags while playing games in desktop mode, but the actual desktop environment is fine.

[@MarcheTen]

If you mean lags in game mode when docked, I'm trying to find a solution as well. Desktop mode while docked runs perfectly except I can't get the correct controller configurations for games (they might be missing completely) and it defaults to kb + mouse controls even with a connected controller. I can get the correct configurations in game mode. I've seen people blame the dock, but it makes no sense to me that docked desktop is fine, but docked game mode isn't and I can only believe it's a steam deck problem.

Worked like a charm, cheers mate

[@Markcrumb]

Getting loss of audio with lag while docked. Seems to happen especially when 2 or more controllers are bluetoothee

[@Izthefaithful]

Having the same issues

[@darkfog360]

Well if im gonna play on a pc monitor i might as well play on my pc then lol

[@needformead2947]

Literally why tf are you on this video other than to flex your pc, total Redditor behaviour. No Maidens

[@darkfog360]

@@needformead2947 deal with it

[@JimmySlimmy-jo2kt]

Just switching the tv mode fixed it for me. Thanks

[@TheWolf-sv1xj]

I turned on game mode on my tv and it took away my input lag, i am using the jsaux dock from Amazon for $30 and a wired Xbox controller and a 55 inch Hisense 4K tv and game mode eliminates my input lag

[@Wild4]

How do you like that Jsaux Dock?

[@TheWolf-sv1xj]

@@Wild4 it works really good haven’t had any problems so far

[@Wild4]

Awesome - I am always looking for extra suggestions on gear 🔥

[@MarkGibbons]

I get this lag regardless of a dock/tv, even bluetooth headphones have a 1 second lag, it's unusable..

[@rmentar]

great tips.. you've saved valve several hundreds of euros because i was about to send my new steamdeck back ;) thanks!

[@pedromiguel3316]

which game are you playing ? ninja gaiden 2 nes?

[@Jake_Funk]

It's The Messenger from 2018

[@NoahWilliams6258]

So if I were to use a steam deck docked with my gaming monitor should I have any issues with lag

[@anthonyberru2595]

I mean switch to a monitor is fine but then it wouldn’t be couch gaming anymore for me

[@ricardofranco4114]

The way that i mitigate this is by using the steam deck as the controller and using a 15-foot hdmi to my tv.. literally no input lagg. Only way to do it. This way, i bypass bluetooth lagg and xbox Controller input lagg... even wired controllers have input lagg.. I run the hdmi through the wall, and it comes out next to my bed, which i grab and hook up to my steam deck, and it works great !!. I also have a small shelf next to my bed where the hdmi comes out from the wall. Which is where i dock it. Amazing.

[@Zero21x]

doesnt the lapow work directly plugged in via usb c without input lag?

[@imohbalu]

What about input lag issues when playing fighting games online

[@revallr9314]

That's "delay" and it is caused by you internet

[@JDabz96]

I didn't notice it playing spider man on my jsaux dock I also have the same TV in this video

[@kyleb7047]

Excellent video. Helped me out greatly 🤘

[@droptopsonata]

on roku tvs you need to open the tv settings and find game mode and that reduced it a lot!!

[@brattholterman2344]

Brother I want to play on my 65inch tv not on my freaking monitor.

[@Primal-Gaming]

Thanks for sharing! Now I know how to eliminate lag!

[@BigHushAffiliate]

Really? From the title I thought we were going to bake a cake? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@patrickhawthorneLS]

Xbox one and series controllers = stick lag Ps3 and ps4 controllers = stick lag Switch pro controller = no stick lag However .. the switch pro controller doesnt like sleep mode and will give you random disconnects,it also likes a full battery otherwise random disconnect I tried this with hd tvs and a crt tv,trust me,avoid xbox controllers as they are the worst,ps4 also not good for stick lag The shitty switch controller is best unfortunately
