LG and Razer Introduce a Revolutionary Bluetooth Controller for Cloud Gaming
Revolutionizing Cloud Gaming with Bluetooth Controllers
LG has partnered with Razer and MediaTek to introduce an innovative Bluetooth gaming controller aimed at cloud gaming. This controller showcases the use of Ultra-Low Latency (ULL) Bluetooth technology, making it the first of its kind designed to significantly reduce input lag.
Performance Comparison
At the LG webOS Summit event, the new controller was compared against a standard version. The superior responsiveness, alongside reduced input lag and enhanced control precision across various cloud-based genres, was highlighted. This includes several FPS, racing, and fighting games.
Input Lag and Competitive Gaming
Traditionally, Bluetooth controllers have input latency ranging from 10 to 20 milliseconds, while wired controllers lead with much lower lag. However, Razer's controller reportedly offers an impressive 1ms input lag, targeting competitive gamers who demand a high-performance experience.
Future Developments
- Google's Stadia platform previously attempted to tackle latency issues, connecting controllers directly to Wi-Fi.
- Bluetooth ULL support will be integrated into upcoming LG OLED and Mini LED TVs by 2025.
- Razer is set to be the first brand to meet LG's certification for third-party ULL controllers.
Currently, there is no pricing, release date, or official name for the controller. However, further details may emerge at CES 2024, scheduled for January 7th-10th.
