You’re right, you can feel the difference.

[@AnthonyJaya]

Input lag is one thing, interference is another. Since the objective is to have a stable low-lag input, they are both just as important. Bluetooth gets the occasional stutter from interference whereas it doesn't happen over USB. This has been my experience on both the PS4 and PS5.

[@diothar]

[@jovannydiazabad6123]

Also if you play at 30fps you'll have more input lag as it takes more time to show a frame on display during each second because it has to refresh (or repeat) each frame more times before going to the next frame of animation meaning that since 1 second= 1000 milliseconds you'll get 1. 1000/30fps= 33 milliseconds of delay 2. 1000/60fps=16 to 17 milliseconds of delay Also on top of that delay caused by the amount of fps, there's the additional delay caused by the controller you use, the display you use as some do more image processing than others which causes even more delay (motion interpolation being the biggest offender), also if you're online your connection plays a role (and a big one at that)

Whilst what you say is true, I still wouldn't recommend Bluetooth at least for the PS5. When measuring average input delay, USB is extremely consistent and seldom deviates from its average. Wireless on the other hand has a higher average, with lots of high peaks. Rocket Science's KZbin channel tested this. So on PS4 you're effectively making a trade off between responsiveness and consistency. It depends what you play. If you're executing repeated actions and to be as consistent as possible, like say playing Rocket League at a high Rank, you may want to use USB. For a game that doesn't solely rely on mechanics but does benefit from speed like CoD, playing Bluetooth may be best. On PS5 the polling rate appears to be the same between both input methods, which makes USB a no brainer especially if you're playing at a desk. You get the fastest input and extremely consistent input together.

[@NewOldie]

As a ps5 owner I can confirm it makes no difference if you use the controller wired or Bluetooth both input methods are the same for the system. Who ever did the in-depth analysis for it is spot on . You can play the controllers wired or Bluetooth it wouldn’t make an difference while on PS4 controllers there’s a significant sudden change . I personally would recommend using Bluetooth on the ps5 as it’s more improved compared to PS4 and the input lag is just the same as if you played wired no matter what.

There is a caveat, using wireless can result in inconsistent input latency due to interference. It might make sense if you are into latency consistency (e.g. rhythm games) over getting the lowest possible latency. On my ps4 controller which is aging, the bluetooth connection is very weak and it is very easy to see the input signal latency vary wildly when someone walks pass you. So while in general wireless should result in lower input latency, the downside is the variance and inconsistency of the latency can be detrimental.

[@alandunaway3000]

I thought there was less input delay with wired connection because when I'm playing rhythm games I'm able to press buttons in quick succession with more consistency.

you’re wrong about input lag being worse through usb on past gen consoles. Digital Foundry specifically tested this in Uncharted and found that wired usb had a better input lag than wireless bluetooth. Polling rate does not equal overall input lag, it is just a measurement of how many times in an interval does the signal update, it has nothing to do with how fast that signal is received and processed which are also major components of overall input lag.

[@NeoMorphUK]

The Xbox 360 was better on wired connection by design which is probably where PlayStation users are assuming the same but over time wireless has sped up a LOT. There was a 20% decrease in latency from Xbox 360 to Xbox One for example. Same as monitor latency has dropped back from CRT to plasma and then TFT etc. My old Pioneer plasma was awful playing games like COD for example.

Not sure about this... I occasionally have terrible input lag when playing via bluetooth on PS5. Everything is fine until select moments where inputs don't register, are delayed, or are read as long inputs rather than short ones. Once I plug it in, however, it never happens, and the controls actually feel more in tune. But perhaps this issue for me is more about an inconsistent connection rather than persistent subtle lag throughout the play session.

[@deadline546]

If you read the comments, there is a fair few pointing out a flaw in testing method in video. Maybe not as clearly as this but basically, the video states that wireless has faster poling rate vs USB and backs it up using benchmarks made by someone who tested compared the latency. Now none of this is in theory super wrong and yes for sure not considering interference at all, a 4x poling rate on wireless should feel much smoother but the benchmarking was likely only done in one location with somewhat controlled amount of interference. Like in a larger building with only a few or no close sources of interference or just luckily tested it at time of day where there wasnt as much interference and or no massive spikes in interference. All wireless technology has the same issues, its very susceptible to interference and tehre are probably many more sources of interference than you ever considered. Like simply having a microwave turned on in a house can totally disconnect a wifi connection in the right scenario like being in path between *modem/router* and pc or close to either in general. Then theres interference from other bluetooth devices on same frequency and even devices on other frequencies both directly if signal bounces shift frequency to range close to bluetooth and indirectly due to the frequencies emitted by wireless devices is designed to be kept within a range but often spills into other frequencies a little. So even if polling rate is faster when in wireless mode and the wireless has been designed to be very low latency or just as low as wired USB, then all that goes out the window if the latency through the wireless part is spiking or consistently higher due to interference then USB will be faster/better/smoother.

@@anthonyvincente7907 because i’ve never heard of anybody else having those problems, to me it sounds like he rages and throws his controller, or he doesn’t keep his hands clean, idk, i’ve had every single playstation controller, this is the best built controller, i wasn’t getting defensive, im saying what he’s saying doesn’t make sense, if you’re claiming these controllers aren’t built good, then go get a 1000 dollar controller or go play xbox, from my experience they’re slightly built better, if your controller is breaking in less than a year you guys are doing something wrong

[@anthonyvincente7907]

@@J.Gainez that logic isn't exactly sound my guy. He never said he did any of this and we have no proof that he does that. My controller is *just* under a year and I do experience stick drift. And I work a lot so I don't play very much. My friend also had stick drift out of the box. Truthfully, they use the same sticks as Xbox, ps4, and Nintendo switch. It's just natural for this to happen. There was no need on your end to be so condescending of a person you don't know.

Rocket science made a video of this. I recommend putting it in the description

[@babelfishdude]

I dunno, the original standard USB "polling rate" on a PC is 250 ms, which can be upped to 1,000 ms in newer hardware. In almost all gaming mice, wired is better than wireless, as bluetooth does have to have error correction and multichannel rejection.

[@crisnmaryfam7344]

Not true at all about gaming mice. Many youtubers have done latency tests on them now and a number of wireless mice are actually faster then wired. Beardedbob Optimum Tech, Rocket Jump ninja. Hell even Linus tech tips did a video a couple YEARS ago and showed they were Just as fast if not faster.

How on earth does putting your TV into Game mode, a visual setting modifier, affect performance in any noticeable way of the console you’re playing on? How is that relevant or helpful? I’m genuinely curious.

[@melgutierrez3345]

This may just be my experience, but I will put money on the fact that stick drift was an issue with wireless connection on PS5 but was not when wired. The only reason I play wired really.

[@808nemec]

nah stick drift was just a known fault with the gyro im always wired and i had one get stick drift within a week, they have rectified the issue in the latest ones tho

[@saulmartinez7480]

@@808nemec Can you explain how it was an issue with the gyro? That doesn’t make much sense to me since the gyro is not used to aim in 99% of games. The issue is just dirt and dust that slipped under the stick. You can sort of temporarily fix it by blowing air in the side of the stick. Most of the time the dust is too deep for any air to make a difference so you would have to take the controller apart which most people don’t want to do so they either buy a new one or forever complain about stick drift.

Bluetooth utilizes frequency-hopping spread spectrum technology on 74 channels in the ISM 2.4Ghz band starting at 2402 MHz. That includes all your earbuds, headphones, printers, Roku remotes, mouses, keyboards, dongles, repeaters and every other wireless non-WiFi ‘smart’ widget in your house that is likely using the ISM. Anything in the ISM unlicensed spectrum (and the people using it) is required to accept interference and that’s something you just have to live with. The tl;dr of that is that the more BT stuff in your proximity (stuff in your house, stuff in your neighbors’ house, etc.), The more interference you’re going to have. More interference translates into either lost packets or retransmitted packets which means fewer packets for the Bluetooth receiver on your PlayStation to receive which leads to slower response. This is all just baked into the way Bluetooth works. If you find that based on your own personal experience, wireless controllers perform acceptable to you, your Bluetooth environment may not be particularly congested. If not, switch to a cable and see if it feels better. From the information supplied in this video, it sounds like PS5 owners might be in the best position to go either way but, all things being equal if they are the same, I’ll stick with wired connection to eliminate the general issues that any wireless technology experiences due to interference.

[@jackainsleybrincat]

Y'all are worried about milliseconds of lag? Y'all need to put the controller down and leave the house 💀

[@NecroticFoxtrot]

As a person who uses a wired arcade stick, yeah. Input delay for the PS4 is around 3-6 frames. It's pretty goddamn bad especially for fighting games lmao. Want another variable? Online latency for fighting games that do not have ROLLBACK you're looking at around a 7 frame delay and that's on a good day.

[@Shawn-pd6zu]

I don't know I didn't notice no difference I've noticed that the further you you are away from your PS4 the more way huge amount of lag you're going to get but if I just stay close to my TV have my controller plugged in I don't know what I'm losing I feel like it works faster and then I don't have to charge it

[@deejaydannyboy77]

I was going through comments and no one has mentioned about gamers like me. Although I'm a lucky owner of a PS5, I still play every game with my PS4 controllers (main reason for extra two buttons attachment and always wireless), except of course PS5 games for which console will force you to use only PS5 controllers. I play a lot of fps games including very demanding in reflex Warzone and other Cods and trust me guys, playing with wire is bullshit. Even before I got my hands on PS5 (but I've already had the TV with really low input lag and hdmi 2.1) I have noticed quicker responses especially when I was playing Dirt 2.0 when you driving 150km/h through the woods. I needed a while to get used to it. PS. Definitely turn the game mode on.

[@sucreelbarbaro2138]

What about for PC? I know the same thing happens for the dualshock 4 controller on pc, that being the polling rate is changed and input lag increased, when you play with a wired connection. But does the same thing happen for a dualsense controller on pc, that being a wired connection makes no difference?

[@jamesjackson7324]

Funny how input lag was never a problem. Unless of course you were someone that had a console that was in need of repair. This has never been an issue, but thanks for titling this video as if it was something that was in need of knowing..

[@9RogersRacing]

Ezio had died because of this, input lag, and the game. He was assassinating a soldier in search of a fine key, only to hit the square and fall through the earth and rock of the underground city. And had a swim appearently in an underground sea or ocean. Thus, led the older Ezio to find a way to glitch back into the map without restarting. He swam as quickly as the elderly assassin could to the dungeon he had to go to. He thrust himself into the inside out wall, only for it to not work and for him have to restart on the blasted memory.

[@AyWunHunnit]

Wired connection on the ps5 controller is better for reducing input lag trust me especially on fps games

I once had some weird input lag over bluetooth on the PS5, as if something was interfering with the signal, and had to turn off the controller and reconnect it.

I don’t know if the console makes a difference but the moment I went wired with my PS4 Scuf on my PS5 I could see the difference not just feel it. I’ve had my Edge plugged in exclusively since day one but with a 4hr battery life I may just keep doing that until bigger replacement batteries come out.

[@connorclemmons8698]

I’m not an experienced tech guy, but my bet is that the PS4 controllers are likely trying to juggle both charging and sending/receiving information, that and the fact it’s a physical connection between controller and console (an example is that I had I teacher in middle school try to call a friend in Alaska and experienced a severe latency of a few seconds of silence between everyone’s responses). Plus, there’s about a decade of technological advancements between the two consoles, for all we know it could be the console’s fault and not the controller.
