Cole Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I tried out the 360 at a friend's house. Did anyone else notice how slow the response time the controllers have? I was playing Halo 2 and it played much different for me. The game felt considerably slower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1ux Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Yep i notice it, it's very annoying, some people say its fine however but i guess i was expecting it as wireless keyb/mouse on a pc is also the same. I have a wii and was worried that would be the same but even though there is still lag, its not as bad as i feel it is on the xbox or logitech wireless on PC.

FreqFace Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I myself, don't notice any lag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliott Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I've never noticed any slow response times on my system. I connect four controllers to it all the time, and it's lightning fast in responding to my commands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acezo Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 None at all. I wouldn't be able to tell it was wireless if I didn't know before hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashing Pumpkin Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I take it this is wireless controllers only. I'm not sure how the wireless controller works but, is it the same sort of thing like, if I point my windows media remote at my 360, but there's a bed post in the way, it won't work? Badly worded but you know what I mean, I only have a corded controller and am looking to update some time. Thanks, Richard xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreqFace Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I didn't think much of wireless before I got it, but it's 5495184x better with no wires! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan_X Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 time to get new batteries for that controller... :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planetik Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I don't notice a lag... Geometry wars would be a good test game to check out if it's lagging. Maybe restart the 360? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The controllers use RF. RF signals don't rely on a direct line of sight. Think of it as being kind of like WiFi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AimLXJ Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I'm using 2 wireless controllers and I see no controller lag, check if anything wireless is getting in the way, the signals could be messed up because last time when I plug a VAIO wireless thing onto my Xbox 360 my character started shooting by itself :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please correct me if i'm wrong Obviously remote controls use infrared and a obstruction would prevent it from working. Wifi on the other hand can travel through most household obstructions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InternalStorm Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 No lag here either... even with all 4 controllers connected. And yes, wireless is great and the battery life has been quite good as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cole Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 Maybe you all are used to it. But I'm used to my PS3/Xbox (Wired and BlueTooth) and just noticed. It may have been his box, I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nocstar Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Or it could be in your head... Coming from those consoles could have you used to something else. Truth be told I was always amazed from day one at how responsive the controls where and I was impressed at how they are constantly connected. They 've done an amazing job with them. Playing Nintendo wii I had problems with the controllers disconnecting and syncing was a pain in the ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oubipaws Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I really haven't noticed anything slower...I've played almost all of the 360 games and original xbox games and have noticed any lag outside of one game...Tony Hawk 4 running on 360 either always lagged or crashed for me..

neoadorable Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 never noticed a delay...but thanks, i shall from now on blame my poor performance in most games on half-baked MS circuitry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoTrunks Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I have a wired controller and two wireless ones. I don't notice a difference at all. They're always accurate and responsive. It'd be impossible to pull off moves in Street Fighter 2 if there was a delay. I can hadouken all day long with the 360 controllers (yes, wireless ones too).

stanley porkchop Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Never experienced any lag with mine, but sometimes the controllers act up when battery's low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
