Megagoth1702 Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 Hey guys! My problem: I bind the Pause, Center and Precision functions to my mouse keys. When I press the keys for the first times there is a delay of up to 3-5 seconds before TIR executes the function. If I press the same button again and again a few times the delay shortens and the response is instant, like it should be. So basically - if I play for a while and want to pause my TIR and press the button - I need to wait a few seconds... It's like the mouse buttons "cool down" and need to "warm up" again in order to have an instant reaction. This problem does not appear when I bind the functions to keyboard keys. I am using a Logitech G400, no special software or anything... I used a MX518 before and there was not a single problem like this. Anyone else have this issue? Thanks in advance.

Megagoth1702 Posted August 22, 2012 Author Posted August 22, 2012 Problem solved. It has to do with "polling rate", the rate at which the computer checks the USB port for device activity. Normal rate is 125/s (125hz). Then TrackIR works normally. Anything above that (250,500,1000) makes TrackIR lag when using mouse buttons for actions. Unfortunately - if you don't launch with the Logitech Gaming Software (I hate cumbersome autostarts) the default polling rate is above 125... Screw that, Naturalpoint needs to fix this. N oother program has issues with a 1000hz polling rate. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] System specs:2500k @ 4.6 GHz 8GB RAM HD7950 OC'd Win7 x64 Posting tracks to make your DCS better - attention bump incoming!
BTTW-DratsaB Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 So that's what causes this. It's one of those things I always tell my self I will investigate when it happens in game, but never do..! For myself, I notice it most with Racing sims. As you say, I press the "centre view" button on my wheel and there is a 2-3 second delay in it actually performing the action, but not always. And also like you mention, if you push it once it will respond quickly after that for a time. When your racing other people at 150+ mph such delays = no fun :D. Odd thing is I always have my "Logitech Profiler" (G27) loaded. I don't think it happens with my mouse, mostly just my wheel, maybe my Saitek X52..cant remember. Maybe I just don't notice it on the mouse and stick as much. You are much more aware of "time" and Input delays when racing.

Megagoth1702 Posted August 23, 2012 Author Posted August 23, 2012 Try putting polling rates to 125 any way you can. Just for testing. Effin Naturalpoint support is not showing indications of solving this issue, rather want a work around... God dammit, they are getting old man... ClipPro breaking all the time, software issues like this... Nah, not great - especially if you look at the price tags.

Megagoth1702 Posted November 6, 2012 Author Posted November 6, 2012 So yeah, the problem was due to my mouse rate. It did 1000 updates per second. I put it back to "normal" 125 ticks and things are great now. This is however a software issue with TIR5.
