Frequently Asked Questions
▶ Do wireless PC controllers cause latency?
Modern wireless technologies (2.4 GHz and Bluetooth 5.x) offer latency close to that of wired connections. At 2.4 GHz, latency is less than 5 ms, undetectable during gameplay.
▶ What is the difference between X-Input and DirectInput?
X-Input is standard on Windows. DirectInput is older. Modern controllers switch between the two to maintain compatibility.
▶ Why choose Hall Effect sticks?
They eliminate stick drift, do not wear out, and offer lasting precision, ideal for intensive gaming sessions.
▶ How to connect a PC controller via Bluetooth?
Activate Bluetooth on your PC, press the pairing button on the controller, then click on its name in the list to pair it.
▶ What is the best PC controller for FPS games?
Opt for a wired or 2.4 GHz Hall Effect controller with precise triggers. The Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma is a benchmark.
▶ Wired or wireless: which to choose for esports?
Wired connections are more stable. 2.4 GHz can be suitable if latency is manageable. Avoid standard Bluetooth for competitive FPS games.
