Furthermore, the touch control overlay received a significant overhaul. Sensitivity curves were adjusted for analog triggers (critical for Super Mario Sunshine ’s FLUDD), and haptic feedback was synchronized more tightly to input events. For those using controller clips or telescopic pads like the Razer Kishi, version 1.2.1 reduced input latency to under 20ms, closing the gap between native mobile games and emulated console titles.
