  • Latency adjustment of user input devices
    Patent number: 10942588
    Abstract: Enhanced user input devices and user input interfacing systems are provided herein which can reduce perceived interaction latency. In one example, a method of operating a user input interface on a host system includes identifying a target pace for delivery of user input state to an application, and determining, based at least on the target pace, one or more timing parameters for transfer of the user input state from a user input device. The method also includes indicating the one or more timing parameters to the user input device, wherein the user input device responsively transfers the user input state according to the one or more timing parameters.
