I solved floaty mouse and input lag for myself (I really did this time around)

Everything about latency. This section is mainly user/consumer discussion. (Peer-reviewed scientific discussion should go in Laboratory section). Tips, mouse lag, display lag, game engine lag, network lag, whole input lag chain, VSYNC OFF vs VSYNC ON, and more! Input Lag Articles on Blur Busters.

I solved floaty mouse and input lag for myself (I really did this time around)

To preface this I'm going to mention that EMI input lag is still present but it can be overlooked way more because of the following solution.
I've been using NTLite for years and recently I removed a few components which resulted in the removal of a critical module.

Hardware Support:
Dynamic Lighting

Multimedia:
Image Color Management (ICM)*
Mouse Pointers
Quality Windows Audio Video Experience (qWave)*
Video Compression Manager (VCM) Codecs*
Voice Clarity (APO)*

Network:
Mobile Networking API (32-bit)

System:
Corruption Verifier
MBR to GPT conversion tool
Windows Symbolic Debugger Engine

By removing these, DispBroker.dll will be missing from DWM, meaning games cannot be played in exclusive fullscreen. (I starred the ones that bring the module back). Luckily Windows 11 introduced proper FSO which combined with this, results in seamless gameplay. On top of this I have a custom OS now full of tweaks that further elevate the experience. By having all these applied I can play any game without caring about what most people describe as EMI input lag. A bunch of other devices are in my computer room, along with the wifi router but it doesn't matter.

I will do a paid release later, but not for free. I need testers but it still cost a lot of money and work to get it done.

Good claims. But where are your results/proof?
