Flipper button lag

[FRAQATTAQ]

Hi everyone, 

 

I use a Pincontrol1 in my cab and there is a notable lag when I push the flipper buttons. 

If I use they keyboard instead, I can feel an instant improvement. 

 

I found online a page to test the lag. If I hit and release the buttons very quickly there seems to be close to no lag compared to the keyboard. But if I press thd button in a "normal" kind of way there is an enormous lag. It even keeps counting up if I hold the button. 

 

So at the end of the day, it's just not very pleasant to play this way. 

 

Any hint what I could do or suggestion what could be a good

alternative for the Pincontrol1? 

 

Thanks a lot!

Raspberry Pi pico using https://github.com/OpenStickCommunity/GP2040-CE
It's cheap and you get the best performance on the market, ;less than 1ms response times. Your monitor needs to be good still for it to make a real difference.

Pinscape pico is a dedicated controller system for vpins. 
open source, cheap and probably the fastest thing available 😜
