# IGameInputDevice::SendInputSynchronizationHint (Deprecated)

> IGameInputDevice::SendInputSynchronizationHint

> [!WARNING]
>
> **Deprecated.** This method was removed in GameInput v1 and is not available in the current API. This method was never implemented in PC.

Sends a hint to the device to synchronize its input with the application's update loop.

## Syntax

```cpp theme={null}
void SendInputSynchronizationHint();
```

## Remarks

This method was used in conjunction with `SetInputSynchronizationState` to control when the device posted input reports. Both methods were removed in v1 as part of simplification of the device synchronization model.
