its crazy how many of us have breathing issues and have this cursed input lag, so what I want is all of you to try this. (Is a way to measure your breathing condition).

How to Check Your Control Pause (CP):

Sit down and relax. Breathe normally for a minute.

Breathe out gently (don’t force it), then pinch your nose to hold your breath. Don’t take a big breath in before this—just exhale normally.

Count how many seconds you can hold your breath until you feel like you need to breathe again.

When you feel that urge, let go of your nose and breathe normally.

The number of seconds you held your breath is your CP.

What It Means
Less than 10 seconds: Your breathing might need work.
15-25 seconds: You’re doing okay but could improve.
Over 40 seconds: Great breathing!
Try it and see how you score.

In my case I hyperventilate and I have something weird called air hunger (u can search for it) anyways we dont need to have the exact same breathing problem but I think we all have bad breathing patterns, can you guys tell your score? mine is like 10-13 and my friends with no input lag have like 40 (idk why my score is so low, I legit can do exercise perfectly xd) but basically it means that your ability to tolerate low levels of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in your body is bad

I've ask chat gpt and he said this:
Your Control Pause (CP) could be affecting your input lag because of how your breathing impacts your nervous system and the signals your body sends to electronic devices.

Here’s why:

Nervous system and breathing: The way you breathe, especially if it’s shallow or fast, affects your nervous system. When you have a low CP, your body is often in a "fight or flight" state, which increases the activation of the sympathetic nervous system (the one that prepares you for action). This can cause more interference with electronic devices because your nervous system isn't balanced.

Oxygenation and motor control: More efficient breathing (with a higher CP) means your body is better oxygenated and less stressed. This can improve your focus, coordination, and motor control, which could help reduce input lag when gaming or using devices. If your breathing isn’t efficient, your body may not be in an optimal state to control your movements, which increases input lag.

Electrical interference: Although this is more complex, your breathing could generate slight changes in your body’s electric field. If your breathing is irregular or feels like “hyperventilation,” your body might create more electromagnetic interference, affecting your devices.

I think the fact that there still is no solution should force people to think deeper. I think it is not possible for all players to have ''the right'' game. That's why there is no permanent solution. The way I've observed it work is when you have the godlike game, it comes at a cost of some other player on the opposite team. It's like a limited resource that you can somehow pull to your side causing others to then suffer. The problem seems to be local but I believe it actually affects the server as well. There are too many variables but when you install a new Windows and that immediately gives you a better game then how can this be related to breathing? I've had players tell me that when I join the game, their character slows down etc. It has also happened to me when some other player joins and they would dominate the game by a mile. You'll just feel stuck and as if the hitbox around you gets larger. You are big and slow and the other guy is small and fast.
I also wrote a topic about two computers syncing up on one circuit. If something is done in one, say a new Windows install, it will affect the gameplay on the other computer too.

Glad we're on the same page. This topic would gain so much more traction if people could see past themselves. What I mean by this is when their game is desynced and not running right then it's not them, it's a million things wrong - okay, fair enough. But when the game is running smoothly and they're pwning, then it's their skill and the game should be like that. But what if it's the same phenomenon that either allows you to make kills and be unhittable and fast while your enemies stand no chance, or it makes you an easy target for the enemies with the desync and all that stuff. Once you see this not only for yourself but for others too when they can't get any kills and you're having a blast then it changes how you see every fps game. There are some back and forth really balanced rounds that seem to be normal/neutral but it appears to me there's always some advantage factor other than skill.
Once you get this far with your thought process then you will wonder how much does skill really matter? How much does expensive gaming equipment really matter? I'm not saying either makes no difference but there is a line where the game itself starts limiting your abilities for some reason.
Just looking for the truth and I really can't find much discussion about it that is legit truth seeking, not someone trying to sell you something for attention.
