Is there a program that can test input lag specifically?
I'd like to see if my WMO 1.1A or FK is the more responsive mouse.

You can get 1000fps cameras for cheap, don't know if the resolution is enough at such frame rates..

That doesn't mean you couldn't use it to measure mouse input lag. Just take away the custom mouse component and use the high speed camera with a swipe of the wrist.Originally Posted by Arc0s
The Blurbuster's test was done to measure the input lag between v-sync off and g-sync, not to measure the input lag of any specific mouse.

Yes I was just pointing that out because of the people that said the test was wrong, the test was made to compare v-sync off and g-sync and at that it succeeded.Originally Posted by metal571

could this method be used to compare input latency on diffrent settings in windows, driffrent drivers and other software?
im thinking of all the things mentioned in here http://www.overclock.net/t/1433882/gaming-and-mouse-response-bios-optimization-guide-for-modern-pc-hardware-2013-r0ach-edition
it would be great if someone could run tests to actually tweak input lag to minimum.

ok, my (good)casio exilim ex-zr100 arrived today.
Now it's just a matter of what's the best way to perform the tests.
With 1000fps, the method i found(m_yaw 0, m_pitch very high - looking immediatly in the air when i pull on the cable), shows an inputlag of ~32ms(xornet) until it updates on my samsung 2233rz@120hz, which should be a realistical value.
need to try it later with better light tho.

counted the frames in "VSDC Free Video Editor", using the keyboard to jump to next frame.

r0ach has some suggestions about settings that will lower inputlag http://www.overclock.net/t/1433882/gaming-and-mouse-response-bios-optimization-guide-for-modern-pc-hardware-2013-r0ach-edition maybe try a couple of them?
it would be great if you can try some diffrent windows and bios settings to validate if they lower input lag. im thinking of maximum pre-render frames 1-2-3-0 and some other things.Originally Posted by thuNDa

i don't think that you can measure it so accurately, with the assumption that those bios tweaks can maybe affect the inputlag in the low single digit milliseconds, if at all.Originally Posted by nocebo

The game and the graphics card might also be delaying stuff before they start sending out a changed image based on the mouse update.Originally Posted by the1freeMan
Nice going! That would mean that, considering ~8ms refresh, the Xornet has a lag of between 25 and 32ms.
You should repeat the test more than one time and get average values.

funny thing is the program actually has a function to measure inputlag based on putting your mouse against the screen with a moving image.
Too bad it doesn't get nowhere near consistent results, even taping CDs to the bottom of the mouse to maintain constant distance.
I don't know maybe with super high LOD it works ^^
maybe if the 2233rz had 0ms input lag, which it does notOriginally Posted by the1freeMan
@nocebo
Actually to test those settings I believe a program can be made. At least on a CPU level.

i'm still trying.
i went over to quake3 @500fps(doesn't let me go higher); still recording @1000fps
i start counting at finger impact

and stop when the screen becomes black:

in this sample, it's 16 / 17 frames with my senseiadder, and in the same testrun, my corsair m45 took 22 / 23 frames, but i still have to test it further tomorrow, because it all could just be BS.

i sticked some white tape on the back of the mice, to make it visible, or it would be too dark at that framerate.
