Then I keep breaking wireless controllers by dropping (ahem throwing) them. The wired one has lasted two years. Wireless ones never made it past six months before the X button quit working, then right trigger...grrrr!

ASTRO COMPATIBILITY
Regarding whether our current ASTRO products will work with the new XBox One and PlayStation 4, based on further dialog at E3, here’s what we can share at this time: RE: PlayStation 4. Should work fine with our current products, but we’ll confirm in the coming weeks. RE: Xbox One. We’re working closely with Xbox to create the best ASTRO audio solution. For either or both systems, we may provide an upgrade path to our customers who purchased earlier this year or maybe even a trade-in program, but that decision is still to be determined. To be clear, we are in discussions with both Sony and Microsoft to secure the required next-generation licenses to develop new licensed products for both the PS4 and Xbox One. But we’re not rushing anything to market – we’re going through our proprietary design process; getting input from our pro teams and industry experts, to ensure that products by ASTRO will produce the best game audio and voice-com experience for our customers and eSports teams, worldwide. We’ll do our best to keep you updated.Thanks for your continued support of ASTRO!

Never had input lag issues with the 360 controller. Milliseconds don't matter to me, it's responsive as I can reasonably tell as a human being on a console.

Ah, but they do matter to you and you can tell. You certainly can tell in online play. If you're playing on a shitty monitor/TV, you're noticing your shots are always off by just a smidge. That, coupled with the other stuff adds up; a millisecond here, a millisecond there. By themselves, they might not be so bad, though, but if you're playing off-host, have a wireless controller, and are playing on a shitty monitor with a high refresh rate, you're going to be shooting at places your opponent has left.
After playing online Halo, and even being at the LAN and playing Halo with a lot of those same guys, that you can hold that opinion.
I'm gonna make a statement that's probably gonna irritate the hornets nest.
Racing online requires a better/more accurate feel than FPS. I have no data to back it up, but I do know I CAN feel the difference between the controllers, and I know I'm not alone. Many of us racers have noticed and made the switch back to wired. It also appears the connection for multiplayer racing requires a little more TLC, and that's an uneducated guess based on two boxes on in the same house, one playing Forza and the other Blops simultaneously. There are times when my connections noticeably affected and my boys happily fraggin away obliviously. Maybe it's simply the games themselves and Blops got it right, Forza didn't? Perhaps a constant back and forth to the server juggling 16 cars locations on track is a little tougher than that spray of shots across the map? I don't know. Of course that is only two games and not genre wide, and only one persons observation in house. But take it or leave it.
Don't care what you have. And I'm not into name brand envy, so that's not gonna work either...
I have many people all agreeing with me and we use what we like. Even FPS players, hmm...
And by your remark, I'm gonna imply you're insinuating everyone has shitty monitors (just cause I can)...people really need to think about what's fixing to come out of their mouth's BEFORE it does...life would become much simpler with that slight pause...
Consider the other's possible point of view, and here's the stretch, consider how your words MIGHT be misconstrued, and then consider what it is you want to say...
Or you could be like Gunny and I (me?) and simply don't much care...
You read way too much into that man. Dixon insinuated that I had a shitty monitor. I explained that I don't. Most TVs have processing going on that creates lag (especially LCDs). Pioneers, and plasmas in general, have almost zero lag.
Oh, I'm fine. Just trying to point out how things can be read with a bit of predispoition and get really ugly...you know what you meant, you know, cause it's you, the rest of the world has to figure it out a tad...and it can get quite wonky without a little forethought...
It's probably proprietary IF it can be disconnected, and I only race wired!

sounds like a personal problem to me.
I need the uncensored version of that video. Well apart from the last test.
Current wireless controllers are not as quick as wired, and many racers won't use wireless, I'm one of them. You can feel the difference.
Oh, that and it's fun listening to someone bitch their batteries are dying and see them hit the wall.
Yep, I still prefer wired because they are slightly quicker. And the whole dead batteries thing too.
So it's NOT my imagination! Woohoo!
Thanks Gunny!

Switched to wired, got more head shots, never looked back. I know my play style didn't change a bit lol
My problems are much bigger than going wired can fix. lol
lol
but I don't have a shitty monitor...... I have a Pioneer Kuro plasma, with no processing happening on the display.

Take a breath, dude.
