[QUOTE="acw-nf, post: 6715, member: 489"] Maybe I'm totally off-base and your flipper lag issues are indeed due to video input issues - but something strange happened to me this week - I had been experiencing that same feeling you have been describing - that my flippers aren't reacting as quickly as i'm pressing them, or had a "spongy" feeling to them. Something definitely felt slightly off. A friend of mine described them as "slippery flippers". Then I noticed he was really mashing into the L1/R1 flipper buttons with his fingers. So instead of having my index fingers laid across the buttons, I've been using my fingertips - and most importantly, never mashing the buttons. Now I'm finding the flippers sensitive, responsive and accurate. I doubled my high score on every table. I even dropped the no. 4 weekly score on Black Hole, a game that was absolutely annihilating me up until then. Suddenly the game has gone from great to awesome. Could it be possible that your lag woes are a controller issue rather than a video issue? The DualShock3 buttons are pressure-sensitive and generally don't seem to respond well to very hard, quick pressing (like in a heated multiball, for example)...just a thought. [/QUOTE]
