00:00If you're still gaming on a mushy controller and blaming your reflexes,
00:03stop, the lag might not be you. I dug through the listings and found the best deals on the
00:08top 5 low-latency USB encoders for gamers, and honestly, a couple of these cost less than lunch.
00:14First up, the Zero-Delay USB Board Encoder with Cable, and at just $9.38 it's the cheapest way
00:21into arcade-grade input. It works with PC, Raspberry Pi, and TV boxes, and with almost
00:275,000 sold and a 4.9 rating, people clearly aren't sending these back. If you've got a spare
00:33joystick and buttons lying around, this board turns them into a legit low-latency setup for under 10
00:38bucks. Next, the Copy Sanwa Arcade Game DIY Kit, and this one's a perfect 5 stars from over 4,700
00:45buyers for $18.96. You get the 8-way joystick, push buttons, and the USB board all in one box,
00:52and it plays nice with PC, Raspberry Pi, Android, PS3, and even PS4. If you want a complete build
01:00without hunting down parts, this is the kit that just works. Third is the Copy Sanwa Kit Arcade
01:06Console DIY Kit at $21.65 A little more money, but you're getting a fuller console-style kit with the
01:12Zero-Delay Board included. It's sitting at a solid 4.7 with over 4,700 sold, and it's aimed squarely
01:19at
01:19PC and Raspberry Pi builders who want the whole package in one order. Good pick if you'd rather
01:25assemble than shop around. Number 4 is the 2-player Arcade Zero-Delay Kit for $20.93,
01:32and this is the one for couch battles. Two encoders, two players, one kit PC, Raspberry Pi,
01:38arcade cabinet, whatever you're building. A 4.9 rating across nearly 4,700 sales tells you it's
01:45reliable, and splitting the cost with a friend makes it an even better deal. Last but not least,
01:51the Zero-Delay Arcade USB encoder at $12.53, and it's a 5-star product with over 4,500 sold.
01:59This is the flexible one PC, PS3, Switch, Raspberry Pi, and it supports both 5-pin and
02:052.8mm setups, so it's ideal for a hitbox or fightstick build. $12 for near-instant response
02:11is a no-brainer. So there you go 5 encoders, all under $22, all with the sales numbers to back
