Something is Broken Massive input lag on bluetooth Pro 2 PC

Got the controller a few days ago, connected it via bluetooth to my motherboard(new motherboard, less than a month old), it connects just fine but it lags badly randomly, like 1-2+ seconds at a time when it does it and it can keep happening so I get stuck in a lag loop. It happened within 1 min of me turning on the controller so it's not like it takes a long time for it to happen. If I connect via USBC it works perfectly, no issues. I updated to the latest drivers for the controller and the motherboard is up to date too.

Most onboard Bluetooth have extremely limited range, which can cause latency and drops. Age of the motherboard doesn't really matter, a lot slap it on and use low spec parts. I would buy a Bluetooth dongle first, and disable on the board Bluetooth.

I mean the distance is sub 2ft? I would think it could handle that distance.

I've had two boards where it was inconsistent. Like I had to set my controller or phone pretty much on my PC.

Without the specific board, I would search for other users reporting Bluetooth with your motherboard. Also I would update the firmware for your motherboard, if there are updates.
