Input delay?

I don't know if it's my system or just me. As I didn't find anything here about a certain input delay, I just wanted to ask, if somebody else feels a little delay between pressing the flipper buttons (USB keyboard) and TPA reacting?

For me, I get used to it in 30 seconds. But my first game of whirl wind was brutal ;)

I'm testing on the lowest end PC I could find here, some 3 year old lowcost dualcore AMD CPU with a nvidia 240(?) on xp32 - and of course powered by a hamster running in its wheel :) yet TPA runs at 60fps...

Anyone? Thanks!

When I first played it delay was messing me up but it seems to have fixed itself now, that's coming from someone who primarily plays it on mobile devices.

I noticed a very small delay right away, but I had chalked it up to not playing TPA with a controller in ages. But after playing CFTBL and constantly finding myself alley-passing instead of hitting the KISS shot and the Slide shot, and knowing that I generally can't alley-pass intentionally while I can hit the other two shots in my sleep (it's the Snack Bar I have issues with), I'm going to say there is in fact some sort of a delay when using a (wired) 360 controller.

I will try to dust off the 360 itself this weekend and compare the input lag apples-to-apples on the older tables and see if I notice anything more.

There is a definite lag which is specific to CFTBL on Android (don't know about other platforms).
See this thread... http://digitalpinballfans.com/showt...h-feeling-near-the-end-of-the-flipper-fingers
I don't play CFTBL because of this, although you do adjust and stop Shatzing the outlanes after a minute or two.
No other tables other than CFTBL suffer with this on Android.

I also noticed a delay straight away but for some reason it seemed to sort itself out. Not sure what happened.

I use a wired Xbox 360 controller.
