Input lag is a very serious issue for many cyber athletes – . It is the input lag that gamers often blame for their failures and defeats in competitions. This is especially true in a game such as CS2 or Counter-Strike, where you need to react quickly to the situation and to succeed you need to kind of merge with your PC. But it takes a great PC as well as a human being in this endeavor. And the last component is beyond doubt the best, so of course «iron is to blame».
It turns out that smoothing out input lags can be done, and it's done by, who would have thought, an iron. As a mock entourage for a gamer's desktop, such a device was suggested by Aunker – streamer and part-time owner of a game accessories store. One of Dmitry «Recrent» Osintsev's subscribers mentioned that there is less lag when the iron is on.
Eugene «Aunkere» Karjat posted a photo of a gamer iron with protection against input lag. Team Aurora announced a drawing for three irons, and Denis «deko» Zhukov posted a shopping list of items that should help him fight input delays. The list included two extension cords, a gasoline generator and the notorious iron.
Various memes started to be created on this topic and s1mple - the best player in the Counter-Strike discipline - picked up a similar baton. Even Danil «donk» Kryshkovets didn't get around to the joke. While playing with s1mple, he was advised by a spectator to turn on the iron to avoid lags. «Turned on three irons at once, testing» ," he wrote. What results the experiment yielded is not yet known. We can only hope that the problem will be solved before a cyber athlete has to play his first tournament for the Falcons.
But no matter how much you joke about it, the lag still takes place, and it may not affect the game so critically, but it certainly reduces comfort. Many people tried to solve the problem in different ways – they changed mice, keyboards, made various settings in the PC, but it was impossible to achieve a cardinal solution to the problem.
By chance it turned out that moving helps. The main cause of input lag – problems with the wiring in the apartment. It is noted that the greater the load on the grid, the more stable the current in the grid. After all, no matter how you look at it, it is AC in the 220 volt household network. Under load, its supply becomes more stable, there are no voltage spikes and sudden changes in other characteristics.
Thus, we can conclude that if you want the gaming process to be more qualitative, you need and special stable currents in the network. They are what is required for the stable operation of a modern personal computer. An iron can help too, or preferably several, because they provide increased load on the network).
