Magnet? ( Not placebo)

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.

Reviving this to tell all of you that I moved my magnets because I was only getting a small benefit with them being on my PC case. Now they are on the side of my desk next to my mouse and it's much better. I was using them on my case for multiple months and the effect stayed all the way up until now and I believe this is going to stay the same way. Make sure to properly experiment with the placement because for me even moving them a millimeter away or rotating them totally ruin how they affect the peripherals.
what kg-power of your magnet?
3 fridge magnets. They stick well.

Indeed, the magnet still works, it helps a lot, but it doesn't completely solve the input lag. However, without the magnet, the game is unplayable.

Do you have it on the PC case or where? Can you send picture? You said the side of your desk but didn´t know if its on PC case or where. Thanks!!

I don't know which one of us you asked but I have one magnet stuck to the underside of the desk above the PC, one on the back of the case next to the PSU shroud and the third one is on the base of the desk facing the back of the PC so they are opposite of each other.
I think you have to experiment with the placement because the "good then bad" effect applies here as well so you might feel that the magnets suddenly fixed the input delay then it suddenly or gradually gets bad again. There are two placements I had over the months and both of them seem to work the same and don't change over time. To me, they give a huge improvement in hitreg and input feel as well but I think if things worked normally, magnets would have negative effects.
