It should work wirelessly as well

Yeah it does, but definitely not as well. I’ve had much better results with the USB connected directly.

Huh? It works perfectly without a wire.

It doesn’t use your wifi router, it uses a direct (peer to peer) wifi connection between your computer and the tablet, which if they’re next to each other (e.g. a laptop and a tablet), will be faster than USB.

If it’s a tower PC under a timber desk with a crappy wifi antenna, then yeah that won’t work as well as a cable. Timber is pretty effective at blocking wifi.

Depends on USB gen. Because 3.2 can transfer data faster than WiFi 6

My statement is based on direct experience of janky frame drops between an iPad pro and a MacBook pro sitting next to each other on the couch. I suspected some potential interference issues so I went back to USB and it was buttery smooth again. Might not match your experience but in my environment that’s how it went down.
