input lag

Input lag is the delay between when you perform an action, like pressing a button or moving a control, and when that action appears on the screen. It’s caused by the time it takes for your device to process your input, render the visual response, and display it. Lower input lag means quicker response times, which is especially important in fast-paced activities like gaming or interactive applications. High input lag can make controls feel sluggish or unresponsive, affecting overall experience. Devices and settings can influence input lag, so reducing it can lead to a more immediate and satisfying interaction.
