I read following text from reddit
I would recommend just getting a longer micro usb to USB cable instead of a USB to USB extension.

My friend has an USB hub extension which caused like 10ms extra input delay, and that is never good.

Here's a cheap $5 cable that's 6 feet long.

http://www.amazon.com/Anker-Extra-Premi ... B00MLP3JMS

So since I've bought extended usb-to-usb I would like to check is it making extended ms to me. I just dont know how. I have heard that if you have over five meters cable it makes your tablet to make delay like this. It might be that his friend cable was over five meters and that made it to make delay. Original cable of mine tablet is 1 meter and extended usb-to-usb is 3 meters so overally it is 4 meters so it shouldnt be because of that.

Anyway I want to check that there isnt any local ms delay. I hope you can help me.

Thanks!

The only reliable way to measure input latency of input devices is to record said input device and your screen with a highspeed camera and calculating the latency based on frames in the video.

If you can't feel any obvious delays yourself and it doesn't affect your playing, it's probably not significant enough that it matters.

Damn that is the way which takes lot of time. No I haven't noticed any delay in my playing at all. Okey I guess I have to let it be.

I did think about delay as mouses generally have the specification saying how much input lag they have however tablets do not and I guess that is because the spec is not good enough to advertise? :s

Wacom CTL 480
200 reports per second
1/200 s = 0.005 s

Pps stands for packets per second I guess. Don't know how much this would be in ms though. And then again I don't know does this usb-to-usb extension make any extra delay. Haven't noticed any though while playing.

I think this is right
1/133 s = 0.0075 s
7.5 ms

Oh okey. So every CTL-480 in the market have this delay? Interesting didn't know that. Sounds pretty big but that shouldn't affect really to gameplay? Do you also know that is it true that usb-to-usb extension cables might make little delay to this graphic tablets? Since I have heard two stories of this. Others say it does. Others say it doesn't.

Unless you are using a usb hub which is retransmitting data, the delay should be negligible.
