Extreme latency (wired)

[Will]

I’ve connected my fire tablet 6th gen via USB and using it through tethering. The latency has gotten a little better when i don’t use wifi but its still noticeable to the point where I can’t stand using it. I can legit move my mouse, let go of it and its still moving because of the input delay

Hi @Will,

Please make sure to turn off Videowall mode on your primary machine using the spacedesk Driver Console, then check if the performance improves.

In the meantime, there are also a few more things you can try to improve the performance with spacedesk. Please try the suggestions in the performance tuning chapter in the user manual https://forum.spacedesk.netuser-manual/#item_505.

Note that the hardware encoding feature, which will significantly improve spacedesk performance, will be available in the upcoming release.

The guide that you linked has no guides for wired connections? Its only tips on how to improve wireless connections.

Hi @Will,

Have you tried connecting via native Android USB cable instead of USB tethering?

You can check if your Fire tablet supports it by referring to Direct USB Cable Connection chapter in the user manual – https://forum.spacedesk.netuser-manual/#item_11715

Hi @Will,

Unfortunately, the sample you sent is not advisable as it is an OTG cable. a simple Android USB cable will do as long as your tablet supports it. Then please proceed by following the instructions provided in Direct USB Cable Connection chapter in the user manual – https://forum.spacedesk.netuser-manual/#item_11715
