<![CDATA[Controller question]]>Does having a wired controller really make that much of a difference?

I got the gamesir g7 pro wireless, with the option to wire connect it to the Xbox.

It has a 1000hz polling rate, which is the input lag, right? will i still get that wirelessly?

From my brief research using Chat GPT. Yes Polling directly converts to time delay. 1000hz polling is PC gaming only. Unless XBOX changed something, I’m reading it polls 250hz but up to 400hz. The Game Sir G7 Pro Wireless has very similar latencies between wired and wireless but being wired will be more consistent. My advice, experiment, play around, found out what works best for YOU and not what the Meta says you should be doing. Happy Gaming!!

I wouldn't know. I play on a PS5 with a generic controller.
