PS4 Controller on PC Input Lag

[Justinzonfire]

I just upgraded my PC, and now when I plug in a PS4 Controller, There is a major input lag. When I connect my controller through Bluetooth, basically unnoticeable. Any Ideas?!?!

King of pointless comments? I play castle crashers with a Controller. Literally preferred by everyone to use a controller on this game. Get off this forum if you don't add anything good?

"use Bluetooth then" isn't troubleshooting.

if there is Input lag when using a wire, but none when Bluetooth, then obviously use Bluetooth, it is an easy fix. 

 

But make sure the USB cord you are using is actually a high quality one, and not an overly extensive length either

 

also make sure you are plugging it into a USB 3.0 port, as I believe it is faster

3.0 is faster but voltage is different i noticed it was less responsive in a 3.0 port. It's not a fix to use Bluetooth, it's a different option. You cant charge over Bluetooth though. Ill try a different cable thanks!

A different option that works is still a fix though.... and you could plug in a wall usb hub and plug it into the wall, or connect it with Bluetooth and set it to charge only on your computer

That will probably work best, since it’s a controller for the same company’s things

 

and plus, the trigger stops on an xbox controller are much more responsive, so there’s a plus

I literally didn't think about just plugging it into the wall...  That's a fix to the issue.
