[Discussion] How well does playing your Steam Deck docked work for you? - Sopuli

Since getting my Steam Controller, I’ve been playing docked much more, and was curious how well it works for everyone else.

I’ve noticed a bit of lag on my inputs when using the dock and a ps5 controller so far. It wasn’t bad, but it was noticeable. Maybe a tenth of a second or so?

Probably your monitor or tv. There should be no additional lag from the Decks perspective when using an external display. Plus you are using an external controller. Is it Bluetooth? That could explain the lag, in addition to your output screen.

I did use it with the TV on Port 1, HDMI cable. I don’t understand where the lag would come from.

Just to be clear I was thinking the lag was between the PS5 controller and the deck. I also have nothing to base that on or detailed knowledge of what to expect.

Could be the wireless PS5 controller connection, definitely. It could be introduced by the TV too, most TVs do a bit of post processing. Most TVs also have a game mode that disables most or all of the post processing to reduce the input lag.

I thought I had that stuff turned off on the TV, but I’ll double check. Thanks for the ideas!
