The real reason why so many Eastern Europeans have input lag

Separate area for niche lag issues including unexpected causes and/or electromagnetic interference (ECC = retransmits = lag). Interference (EMI, EMF) of all kinds (wired, wireless, external, internal, environment, bad component) can cause error-correction latencies like a bad modem connection. Troubleshooting may require university degree. Your lag issue is likely not EMI. Please read this before entering sub-forum.

If by prefire you mean that every player looks like they prefire you every time, then no - it is not there.
Hitreg and peeking - no bullshit things. Movement and aiming feels exactly the same offline as online.
Mouse feels completely free. Light, but not floaty, same for keyboard inputs, character feels light.
Did you have problems with peeking and hitreg before using this transformer thing?
Yes. It was not as extreme as some people show where most of the bullets don't hit, but it was enough to tell something was off. What was always worse than desync was inconsistency in inputs and overall game physics feeling weird.
Could you record some short video at least? How you aim on bots or on deathmatch server. Thank you

Question I have is, did you have an issue with stutter while scrolling on websites in any browser, making it feel like it's also desynced?

I will add one more tip. To be on safe side use DC blocker at transformer input, either external one or ask for built in one. It will get rid of buzz and make sure it is performing without saturation. Unless there is no DC present at all on grid and there is no transformer buzz.
Good tip.
My unit is almost completely silent.

Did balanced isolation transformer fix your issue? Completely, partially or none at all?
So far it fixed it completely. It has been only 2 weeks.
My unit is so silent I have to stick my head close to it to hear anything - with DC blocker.
Which DC Blocker do you use?

I can only find weak options...

can u provide screenn shhot of those steps in ur home ! Socket -> DC blocker -> Cheater plug to not have ground connected* Danger! Skip this! -> Balanced transformer -> RCD device** -> Powerbar with double pole switch*** -> Routers & PC & Monitor

u will help alot here ty
We don't give here a dangerous advice. I know the danger this possesses and because of that I won't even try (test) it myself.

My setup:

Socket -> Balanced transformer -> Power strip with double pole switch (1.5m) -> Lamp & PC & 5.1 set & Monitor & Router(2m)

Total cable length 3.5 meters. The cables should be as short as possible.

So the toroidal balance isolation transformer fixed input lag and slow/heavy lag feeling??

Can someone confirm if the transformer fixes slow heavy input lag type feel .

If a power station didn't help you, I don't think this device will.
