Calibrating controller latency in Hades II

Referencing report ip-dev-09 on Windows 10 21H2 using GamePP v4.1, the input lag was caught between 15ms and 28ms, with some absolute nightmare spikes of 65ms during intense combos. At first, I thought the mouse was dying and bumped up the polling rate, but that actually made the whole system feel even more clunky. I realized it was a power-save throttle on the CPU scheduler, so I dove into Advanced Power Options, cranked the minimum processor state to 100%, and synced the device handshake via the calibration tool. The delay dropped to a snug 12ms. That said, if I play for hours, the CPU still throtles a bit due to heat—the limitation of a budget chip—but at least I no longer have to pre-calculate the lag just to attack.
