iPad Mouse Delay and Excessive Smoothing

Recently became a keyboard and mouse user on my 9th gen iPad, the delay time has to be around 1024ms it’s truly noticeable and almost unusable. The settings Apple has provided to the iPad (iOS 16) do not contribute to the inputs delay or movement linearity. Upon plugging the same KBM into my computer it works with little to no delay. Frankly surprised this hasn’t become a larger issue yet, please make the iPad’s mouse functionality fluid, responsive and NO acceleration. Us zoomers come from playing Fortnite on decked out desktops at over nine thousand FPS; we respectfully and not too seriously demand precise and lag free interactions with our device.

I appreciate your time,

You might want to reconsider your figures…


The very best monitors (and commercially available games) will be working at 90-120fps - not 9000fps.
