Bluetooth Gamepad (Xbox One S controller and Moga) Input lag on Nvidia Shield

by andy2na

I bought a nvidia shield a month ago and everything is great except for adding a 2nd controller so I can play games with my girlfriend.

Here is my setup:

  • Nvidia shield 16gb
  • 128gb Sandisk USB3.0 thumbdrive formated as adoptive storage
  • Logitech harmony remote connected via bluetooth to be used as my main shield remote
  • Logitech kb/touchpad wireless combo connected via logitech usb dongle

I tried both a MOGA Power Hero (mode B) and Xbox One S controller (I tried 2 different ones both updated to the latest firmware) connected via bluetooth and there is TERRIBLE input lag while using the standard shield controller is fine. I tried several games like the android NBA Jam, shield Tomb Raider, and a couple games on gamestream.

Anyone know how to fix this? Is there something with the wireless interference?

Maybe Nvidia wants you to buy one more controller of theirs.

My official Nvidia controller has some serious lag, at times.... I can't figure out why or when

I'd think this wouldn't be a problem on official devices, but just for testing purposes have you tried it with the wifi disabled? I remember reading that some of the Android boxes for TVs that don't run AndroidTV had a problem with interference between the two due to bad antenna placement or something
