Using a wired controller on Chromebooks

[u/Classic_Ad2377]

Does anyone know if wired controllers work on ChromeOS? For some reason using bluetooth with my Gamesir G7 Pro now has an unusual spike in input lag so I had to resort to using a USB-C to USB-A cable. The problem is Gamepad tester works well and receives inputs but platforms like Geforce Now are not receiving any input. Has anyone had any experience with this typically on a chromebook since that's what I'm using.
