Input latency

[valewmilan]

Hello, I was wondering how much does it take you for registering an action by tilting or even rolling the left controller.
Is it faster to tilt right than for example moving your finger from D key to F and pressing F on your keyboard?
You may try this flash app http://www.mathsisfun.com/games/reaction-time.html to get times if you want. It should be enough to bind left mouse button to tilt, roll etc and wait for the circle to turn green. What's your average time? :D

This is entirely dependent on the angle the action is set to trigger. 15 degrees will register on a quick twitch in that direction, 35 will be more of a deliberate gesture.

For a binding which you need a very fast response for we bind to buttons, for example something like a counter-attack/parry in Soul Calibur; a tilt gesture would never be okay for this.
