AMD USB CPU Lanes Chipset lanes & Gaming

With AMD having CPU lanes to the USB ports, which is better to put on those ports, the Mouse or the Keyboard, for gaming? e.g. if both are 1000Hz devices.

I've tried all combinations, both KB & Mouse on USB CPU lanes, KB & M on X570 Chipset, KB on CPU lanes + M on Chipset, M on CPU lanes + KB on Chipset.

I imagine that the CPU lanes would be faster but it seems with some games it can cause slight input lag e.g. UT4. When both are on the Chipset lanes it feels like the mouse is more accurate. Are the Chipset lanes bound by Timers e.g. platform timers like bcdedit/ useplatformtick? If so I would think there's a desync between the Mouse on the CPU lanes with the KB on the Chipset and the game.



BTW, Does Intel also have CPU lanes to the USB?


Thanks
