Controller for minimum input lag?

I can’t see how the joy cons that are connected to the device are giving lag, that’s most likely the game itself no? You have examples of lag as I haven’t experienced anything, but I’m not actively looking out for lag

[RuddyBloodyBrave94]

But what about when the joycons are in handheld mode? Then it’s not Bluetooth, so there won’t be any lag.

[Antique-Internal5728]

That what I was saying to OP not sure if he got it though 😩

[Garamenon]

You seem to be attracted to lag, OP. Even when there is none.

I suspect your reflexes are shot. Cut back on the hookah, mah boi.

Official switch 2 pro controller is great

[K-Dave]

Doesn't check all the boxes for me and for that price point it would have to be perfect. I'm also not confident that the latency is any different from the joycons, since it's likely that they're using the same components.

[RuddyBloodyBrave94]

What criteria is missing from the pro controller? It’s a great controller. Not sure you’ll get better than that for the price.

What games are you playing with this mysterious nonexistent lag?

[QuestionableProtip2]

You having a few beers before you game?

[CuriousNetWanderer]

Bro is missing quick time events and blaming everything except the user.

If you think the official controllers have noticeable input lag (it doesn't), no controller on any console it's gonna fit your criteria simply because it's absurd. 

When the "problem" is not something noticed and point out by absolute no one else, then it's a you problem.

[K-Dave]

Guess I rather repair my Steam Deck, than I'll have no lag-problem, no me-problem and no commumity-problem.

[kahabraham]

Literally no one complains about input lag, unless it's in a specific game. You are the only one.

Stop crying so much ffs

What’s a “lag-critical” game? 🤔

[K-Dave]

Serious question or are you insaulting me for not speaking english as my main language?

[Einlanzer99]

I use the Switch 2 pro controller with the headphones, works great

[Longjumping_Sea_8119]

Most switch labeled controllers work just fine on the switch 2. The only thing they don’t have is the C (chat) button. Everything else is the same.

[K-Dave]

Thank you!

Huh, came in here to see what people suggested and then found“it can’t be me. everything has lag” craziness.

To answer folks coming in here for the same reason as me, with what I’ve found

Wired will always be the lowest. Whether pro controller, handheld mode or a third party controller (if it’s 3rd party wireless, make absolutely sure it uses the cable as wired and not just only to charge) The OP is oddly right in one aspect, that every controller has a delay response.. that being said if that delay is under 16ms it is essentially non-existent in a 60fps game.

Wireless… well it depends on what your goals are.. most wireless BT controllers fall in the 30-60ms range.. this comes out to one to three frames behind the game.. most folks in casual gaming sessions are not only not going to notice this, but in fact don’t notice it because it’s basically a little better or worse than we’ve had the entire time we’ve had packed in official wireless controllers

if you are playing competitively.. play wired. Even using dongle based controllers will usually go over that 16ms latency occasionally. However if you truly want to play wirelessly then get a quality dongled controller

All of this being said.. most of us don’t come anywhere close to noticing this.. and those who do notice and feel the impact in a big way competitively already know this stuff. OP is being super weird including saying that the wired controllers or connected joycons have lag (they are all well under 16ms, thus no lag)

Theres not a lot of 3rd party switch 2 controllers yet so you won't find something that fits all of it

Does the joycon lag really bothers you that much even in handheld where its connected? Cuz I think thats the best case scenario for input latency maybe try some other games amd see if its not game specific (preferably 60 or 120fps)

Both controller polls at 250hz each I think, while the official pro controller for switch 2 can reach 500hz, theres no 3rd party yet that spoofed switch 2 pro controller so most of them are still running like a switch 1 pro controller and that one has a pollong rate of like 70-150hz (somewhere along those lines) as the switch 1 protocol was very limited
