Input lag for many eSports players – this is a very serious problem. Gamers often blame input lag for their failures and defeats in competitions. This is especially noticeable in a game like CS2 or Counter-Strike, where you need to quickly react to the situation and in order to succeed you need to somehow merge with your PC. But this business requires both an excellent PC and a person. Moreover, the last component is undoubtedly the best, so, of course, the hardware is to blame.
It turns out that you can smooth out input lags, and who would have thought it, an iron does it. In the form of a comic setting for a gamer’s desktop, such a device was proposed by Aunker – streamer and part-time owner of a gaming accessories store. One of Dmitry’s subscribers “Recrent” Osintseva mentioned that when the iron is turned on, there is less lag.
Evgeniy “Aunkere” Karjat published a photo of a gaming iron with protection against input lag. The Aurora team announced a drawing for three irons, and Denis “deko” Zhukov published a list of purchases that should help him deal with input lag. The list included two extension cords, a gasoline generator and the notorious iron.
Various memes began to be created on this topic, and s1mple, the best player in the Counter-Strike discipline, picked up a similar baton. Even Danil “donk” Kryshkovets did not escape this joke. During a game with s1mple, he was advised by spectators to turn on the iron to avoid lags. “We turned on three irons at once, we’re testing” - he wrote. What results the experiment gave is still unknown. We can only hope that the problem will be resolved before the esportsman has to play his first tournament for the Falcons.
But no matter how much you joke, input lag still occurs; it may not have such a critical effect on the game, but it certainly reduces comfort. Many have tried to solve the problem in different ways – We changed mice and keyboards, made various settings on the PC, but failed to achieve a fundamental solution to the problem.
It turned out by chance that moving helps. The main reason for input lag – problems with wiring in the apartment. It is noted that the greater the load on the electrical network, the more stable the current in it. After all, whatever one may say, in the household network it is 220 Volts AC. When under load, its supply becomes more stable, there are no voltage surges or sudden changes in other characteristics.
Thus, we can conclude that if you want the gameplay to be of higher quality, you also need special stable currents in the network. They are required for the stable operation of a modern personal computer. An iron can also help, or better yet several, because they put an increased load on the network).
