Just picked up a Sony X90K last week and I'm tryna get into some cloud gaming during my downtime on weekends. I read that the DualSense is the obvious choice since it's all Sony ecosystem stuff but then i saw a bunch of threads saying the input lag on Android TV is actually kinda terrible for fast games. Then there's the Xbox controller but i heard it has pairing issues after the latest firmware update... super confusing. I got like $50-60 max to spend and dont really want to buy a separate console yet. Anyone here actually using a controller with their Sony TV that doesnt lag out or disconnect every ten minutes?

After researching for days because of the lag rumors, I finally bought the Microsoft Xbox Wireless Controller Carbon Black. Its been rock solid for me so far...
- Xbox: Never drops connection, feels very reliable.
- 8BitDo Ultimate C Bluetooth Controller Pink: Simpler and feels safe for the price. Everything works well and im just happy there was no pairing drama. Kinda relieved it was actually easy to set up.

Just catching up! What specific cloud services are you gonna use? I absolutely love the <a href=" https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ntt= SteelSeries+Stratus%2B+Wireless+Controller+for+Android&BI=8941&KBID=10361&SID=12345&DFF=d50" target="_blank" rel="nofollow sponsored">SteelSeries Stratus+ Wireless Controller for Android right now... it stays connected perfectly and the battery is just insane!

In my experience, the 8BitDo Pro 2 Bluetooth Gamepad with Hall Effect Sensors provides superior latency and doesn't have those notorious firmware sync issues on the X90K, plus it's under $50.
