    Just curious, is there software out there that lets you measure the delay between a button press and it registering? This is meant for gaming, not really about the input delay on windows.

    Not as far as I know. Usually the best detecter of input delay is yourself.

    Yeah but I just want to confirm my suspicions between two versions of a game where one seems to have more input delay for some reason than the other.
