How Much Lag Before You Notice?

Linus and crew (BBNO$, TypicalGamer, Khanada) grabbed a stack of ASUS ROG gear and dialed in artificial input lag to see how it screws with your aiming, K/D and overall mojo. From pro-level showdowns to “average Joe” scrims, they crank up the delay to find out exactly when your reflexes start to fail you.

Turns out even just a few milliseconds can throw off your shot—but the gap between pro and casual still comes down to raw skill and awareness. Bottom line: low-latency monitors and peripherals give you a real edge, but practice (and knowing when something’s off) is what separates champions from the rest.
