Soft in all the wrong places. Take with a strong tea.
Summary
The article discusses the author's sensitivity to latency on 240 Hz monitors and the creation of a tool to measure delays in pointer movements on a computer.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledSince upgrading to 240 Hz monitors, I feel a lot better when interacting with my computer, finding I am quite sensitive to latency.
Switching USB ports for my wireless mouse dongle introduced delays of around 10 ms every few seconds.
Unfortunately I couldn't find online tools to study those finer delays. So I made one, found.as/l.
