The mouse cursor should snap to wherever it's pointed. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but lag in this case would be due to the latency between the Sinden gun, software, and display. Lag would also explain the inability to target quickly moving targets.

I bet we'll eventually get one of the YouTube channels with a technical setup like My Life in Gaming, Digital Foundry, or RetroRGB to do a full breakdown. It would not surprise me to see a decent amount of lag in this system.

I've also watched two videos demonstrating the gun encountering full crashes, where the gun just randomly stopped working. Hopefully, the software quirks will be ironed out soon. I'm not sure that all the people expecting their guns in November are willing to be beta testers.

From what I understand the crashes are thought to be caused by continued starting and stopping of the software.
Its not happened to me personally but its a known bug Andy is working on.

Yeah I think someone already has.

So the Sinden gun will work with a white border drawn in photoshop? This is good. So Rlauncher bezels can be modified as well with a white border and we don’t have to worry about the sinden software doing it for us. This will stop any focus issue mess with Rlauncher bezels and for cab users Will make it more seamless as it seems that a button needs to be pressed on the gun to activate the white border when a light gun game is started?

Correct.
KenToad:
The border button really should have been a toggle switch in order to minimize the chances of hitting it in-game.

So it lags and constantly crashes?
