I’ve gone through most of the English-language discussions on input lag without finding a real solution, so I started looking into Russlan and Chinese communities instead.

I came across a Russlan creator who seems to have done extensive research on input lag potentially caused by electrical issues, like improper grounding. It looks like they achieved some positive results, but since I’m not fluent in Russlan, I couldn’t fully understand their conclusions. Judging by the comments under the video, though, they may have found a method to significantly reduce or eliminate the issue.

If anyone here understands Russlan, could you provide a brief summary or TL;DR for the community?

Here’s the video:

I strongly suspect my input lag is related to electrical factors, because I can reproduce it consistently. When I fully plug in my PSU and monitor power cables, I experience severe input lag enough to make fast-paced games unplayable. However, if I plug them in so the ground pin is barely touching, responsiveness improves significantly. I even had friends do blind tests, and they confirmed there’s a noticeable difference

Have you tested using a "cheater's plug" to remove grounding connections on your devices? I read that this didn't work for some users, but this sounds like what you're doing by only partially seating your power cables.

Cheaters plug wont work in this situation. I’ve tried the method you used and i was top fragging first 6-7 rounds, then it degraded drastically. Simply unplugging display’s power cord midgame till it buzzers ( on the monitor side ) and plugging it back gave the same effect of fluidity. In my situation i don’t have a ground in my building at all, the grounding cable from the electrical meter not even connected anywhere.

So i come to only one conclusion in this case. Either we have to move to the proper apartment with grounding and connect it to the neutral on our box as couple of people mentioned before or play around with display cable or smth to release the static with our body or whatever is on the line.

No, they didn't figure a thing. Otherwise such solution would spread like fire, even if it was paid.
Give me a break, no one even uses proper scientific methods.
