Could this man have solved the problem with this device?

IMPORTANT:
This subforum is for advanced users only. This separate area is for niche or unexpected lag issues such as electromagnetic interference (EMI, EMF, electrical, radiofrequency, etc). Interference of all kinds (wired, wireless, external, internal, environment, bad component) can cause error-correction (ECC) latencies like a bad modem connection, except internally in a circuit. ECC = retransmits = lag. Troubleshooting may require university degree. Your lag issue is likely not EMI.

Could this man have solved the problem with this device?
First of all, hello. I'm someone who has been aware of and experienced this problem since the 2020 pandemic. I've also been following this forum for a year or two. Actually, before finding this forum, I felt very alone. But it's shocking that despite so many obsessed gamers on this forum, no solution has been found. I should mention that I've been in four different houses and had four different computers since 2020. Finally, I got stuck on the damn PC, BIOS, Windows, and, with a very simple logic, I turned to the PS5, which everyone else buys and plays perfectly fine without making any adjustments. I experienced the same input lag, desync, stuttering – whatever you want to call it – in PS5 games. Like all of you, I realized the problem was playing late at night, turning off the power, and even putting an iron on top of the PS5. And yes, as someone who's spent six years with it, I can say with certainty that the problem is electrical interference. It's a kind of system that can't properly transmit the signal it receives from the console, mouse, and keyboard to the monitor due to electrical interference. If you have a PS5, flip it upside down in the middle of a game for a moment and see the lag disappear. Or, literally, run a powerful iron next to your computer and see. I'm so tired of people saying the problem is in the BIOS, Windows, hardware, or internet. Just run the damn iron and see the difference. Also, I've tried it many times, try playing FIFA or NBA offline, without any Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection. Nothing changes. You see the signal quality being disrupted. Now, to my main point. While browsing YouTube, I came across a channel. The guy isn't a great gamer. But he understands the lag problem very well. And I think he has a very good explanation. I want to briefly write down his explanations for you. Because he doesn't offer a very cheap solution. But I believe it's worth trying. Because he's been uploading videos showing that he's fixed it for a while now.
The channel name is: @Maiza007-c8y
According to him, the solution was not changing PC hardware or Windows settings, but reducing EMI/RFI noise coming from the AC power line.
His final setup is:
* An OnFilter CleanSweep industrial power line EMI/RFI filter.
* A DC blocker for the PC.
* A second DC blocker for the monitor.
* Both the PC and monitor are connected after the DC blockers.
* If using Ethernet, the router is also connected to the same filtered power strip.
His connection order is:
Wall outlet → OnFilter CleanSweep → Power strip → DC blocker (PC) + DC blocker (Monitor) → PC & Monitor
He says that after installing this setup, his mouse responsiveness became “insane”, aiming felt much more tactile, and movement became instantaneous. He also claims that the improvement is consistent 24/7 instead of changing depending on the time of day.
He believes that most industrial EMI filters are not sufficient because they mainly filter higher frequencies, while the OnFilter CleanSweep is effective across a much wider frequency range and reduces noise on the live, neutral and ground lines.
Has anyone here tried a similar setup or measured any improvements from EMI filtering and DC blockers?
Since I'm sure the problem is interference, the guy's explanations were very satisfying. However, the filter he mentioned costs around $600. Maybe someone on this forum has tried similar systems. Please share if it was unsuccessful.
Windows, BIOS, graphics card drivers, kernel settings, voltage settings. All of these provide a fix that lasts a maximum of 2-3 games. The reason for these fixes is that we can somehow change the signal channel and find a noise-free channel. Clearly, anyone can unplug their computer, wait 3 days, and then enjoy their first game.
Please check out the guy's comments on this channel and share your experiences if this works.

Re: Could this man have solved the problem with this device?
I don't know why people still think the problem stems from electricity or electromagnetic interference, when 99% of people like me experience these issues everywhere and some even encounter them during LANrevengeatc7 wrote: ↑30 Jul 2026, 02:55First of all, hello.

Re: Could this man have solved the problem with this device?
What he said ^
I haven’t seen one single person that has this problem say they can get good gaming sessions ANYWHERE.
Ive had this for years as well and it doesn’t matter where i go, even places where my friends can game fine with no delay.
As soon as i touch the controller, within a game or 2 the full delay and desync creeps in.
Somehow it’s gotta be our body.
Sounds crazy but just like u said, there’s so many obsessed full time gamers in here with this problem and After years of people replacing wiring and trying electricity related things THERE IS NO FIX
I personally think it has to have something to do with static electricity and somehow our skin handles it differently. I electrocute myself daily touching things in my house and I’ve seen many people say the same thing.
Who knows anymore
I’ve moved on to turn based games to protect my sanity. Good luck thou

Do you think it’s still the body if I use to play my consoles without issues, while only my pc had this problem at one point? My consoles got this problem once I moved into my new apartment in 2023. Even my local pc cafe has this problem

I do know this person and he solved the problem, but I don't know if the solution applies to everyone.

A week ago, I installed a new grounding rod in the ground to a depth of approximately 1.70 meters. The problem disappeared for two or three days, then returned.
(I did not measure the grounding resistance.)

Re: Could this man have solved the problem with this device?
I have a DC blocker designed for audio and I tried it, and it did not solve anything unfortunately, I bought it for around 600$ too. However I have not tried the CleanSweep, it might worked idk. My house also has no grounding and every metal electronics feel tingling when touching

Yeah Cleansweep Onfilter and RGPC are the only things that can alleviate the issue and not turn useless after a while.
Mayza dude from YT just mistook some 20-40% relief with a 'complete fix' considering his skills.
