Great topic, and I’ve benchmarked all three across my setup (RME ADI-2 DAC over USB, plus a onboard Realtek path for comparison). Short version: for competitive play, the differences that actually matter come down to buffer management and the …

When you push to 8000Hz, you’re generating an interrupt every 125µs — four times the frequency of a 1kHz report and double the 4kHz load. The math

Alright, let’s dig into the weeds here. I’ve been benchtesting optical versus mechanical microswitches for the last few weeks, and I keep hitting a wall on the debounce question. With mechanical switches you’ve got physical contact…
