XInputTest VS DaemonBite-Arcade-Encoder

For some time now, I have been developing software for measuring the polling rate of gamepads and measuring latency. And until now I could not understand why when I connect the Xbox series controller via cable, XinputTest shows that the gamepad is outputting 125 hertz (as well as my gamepadla). But the GPDL latency tester I developed shows 2.19 ms 4.34 ms delay (on firmware 5.17.3202.0), which is not possible at 125 hertz! It's at least 500 250!

A simple and effective program for instantly measuring the poling rate of your gamepad. There's no need to wait for anything, just start moving the stick and the result will be displayed immediately. I tested it on many gamepads and compared the results with XInputTest, so far, everything matches. But if there are any errors, write to me and I will improve the code.

Tried test it with wine+XInputTest (https://github.com/chrizonix/XInputTest), got these results: https://imgur.com/a/KBtPid1

I found a post on Reddit that mentioned that we can use XInputTest by Chrizonix to test the latency of our controllers on our PC so I decided to give it a shot.

Here is the test https://github.com/chrizonix/XInputTest and here the link for the overclock https://github.com/LordOfMice/hidusbf

Microcontroller: Arduino pro micro clone. Sells for peanuts on Ali Express. I have no coding experiennowledge. I tried to use this guide, but it only made the controller show up as a generic controller on windows/Linux. SF6 Didn't recognise the controller. So I programmed the Arduino as a keyboard and now it works fine on PC and Steam Deck.

I've had a great experience with Arduino Pro Micro's running the DaemonBite firmware, and the RPi Pico GP2040 firmware should be similarly great. Both have extremely low latency. The Brook Universal board is another good one. Other than that, I usually just use either a DualShock 3 pad over USB or a wired 360 pad. I also like the iBuffalo SNES pad and Logitech Precision pads.

The NEO2USB is just an Arduino running the DaemonBite firmware. If you (or someone you know) can do basic soldering and can follow a tutorial for loading code onto an Arduino you can DIY an identical adaptor for about a third of the price of the Neo2SD. If you can get access to a 3D printer there are also case designs available for free.

If you can solder (or know someone who can), you could swap out the usb encoder for a Daemonbite and that would give you less than 1ms of input latency.

I'm not sure, I only use it for console controllers, but I would assume so. This GitHub repo has the pinout for arcade sticks: https://github.com/MickGyver/DaemonBite-Arcade-Encoder

I had one of those pcbs, the input lag is bad and inconsistent, the build quality it's very cheap, and has no xinput support... Nowadays are better alternatives like Brook Zero-Pi, Tachyon PCB, or DIY stuff like GP2040-CE ( https://github.com/OpenStickFoundation/GP2040-CE ) or DaemonBite ( https://github.com/MickGyver/DaemonBite-Arcade-Encoder )
