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.

So you think the cause of the problem is Windows?
No, but the difference a tweaked Windows can make is night and day. I don't deny EMI being an important factor, it just kind of doesn't matter for me anymore as my system is properly set up, so the effects of EMI are very minimal.
kkkkkk sounds like you just wanna make profit off us poor input laggers
yeah using pirated windows :D

Pirated, what do you mean pirated :DD, how do you even pirate Windows? I don't provide activation, but Windows is free to download. Really need someone to give a review so this can stop.

I've sold my own Ntlite version over the past ~4 years, so far, I've made 72 versions and have noticed the same pattern.
Some DWM/Game Bar-related functions break when stripping certain components.

There are certain dependencies that are not well-known that produce the same behaviour.
I'd be happy to test it for you if you want some actually useful feedback.

Other people paid for it so I don't make exceptions.

Pretty sure it's illegal to sell custom copies of windows. You're going to get sued for sure.

Now, if you sell a tool that builds a custom version of windows is fine.

Other than the baseeless fearmongering, I'm going to address this. I'm not selling Windows itself. I'm selling a post that contains links to a custom Windows build that is unactivated (that is the key part) and separately offer a tool for those that would like to use it on another version.

Whether or not it's activated isn't the problem. The person talking about activation doesn't know what he's talking about, you can download windows for free.

But you don't have a license to sell copyrighted material that belongs to someone else. If the link points to a custom build that you created with NTLite. You are redistributing copyrighted material for monetary gain. Which is illegal.

Now if you're just selling tools where it will create a custom build from a stock windows iso. That's perfectly fine, but it doesn't seem like that's what you're selling.

after using this tweaked windows build for a couple weeks in combination with a few game/hardware specific tweaks, i can confidently say it makes every other windows-related tweak i've tried obsolete. a lot of shi is broken and it takes some fking about to troubleshoot issues but once it's setup then ur sweet. my inputs have never felt better, and the price it costs even in it's early/unfinished state is honestly still a fat bargain. i don't have benchmarks but i play gc3/ssl rl and semi-pro halo, and aside from the very obvious perceptual latency reduction and input feel, i am measurably better than before. if you're like me and want to spend your time actually playing games instead of tweaking them then this is one of the best one and done solutions :D

What do you exactly mean by "measurably better than before"? Like is it perfect hit reg? Mouse movement is working great or only a tiny improvement? Please elaborate

@Hyote, I'm not very expert with windows installation stuff but I have a handheld PC that I want to keep it's stock windows on it, it's a 25h2 windows 11 so I got some questions plz, ①what is the size of the data you're selling exactly and much disk size does it need? Since e my PC is only 512GB storage, ② are you selling a custom windows or the Frenzy tool as I can see its name in the link is an exe file that just needs to be installed on any Windows 11 system?
③ is apex legends safely playable after I install that Frenzy tool /custom windows?
④ If it's a custom windows 11, can it be installed side by side with my currently installed windows 11 25h2?
Ty in advance

i meant that aside from what you'd typically use to benchmark tweaks, my post-game stats are measurably better. and for me that's the most relevant metric. and yes it feels great
