Update Mode

This setting determines when the Input System processes input. The Input System can process input in one of three distinct ways:

Type	Description
Process Events In Dynamic Update	The Input System processes events at irregular intervals determined by the current framerate.
Process Events In Fixed Update	The Input System processes events at fixed-length intervals. This corresponds to how MonoBehaviour.FixedUpdate operates. The length of each interval is determined by Time.fixedDeltaTime.
Process Events Manually	The Input System does not process events automatically. Instead, it processes them whenever you call InputSystem.Update().

Note

The system performs two additional types of updates in the form of InputUpdateType.BeforeRender (late update for XR tracking Devices) and InputUpdateType.Editor (for EditorWindows). Neither of these update types change how the application consumes input.
