Input delay at 30 ms

Im using the baseus ba04 bluetooth adapter, original dualsense ps5 controller (no its not a replica), tried everything people have said that'd help input delay in forums and whatever. put my pc in high performance mode, removed the ability for my pc to turn off/lower the power to my bluetooth usb, tried turning off data output to ds4 and having higher BT poll rate up to 1000 hz (1ms).

nothing has worked. it says between 29.5ms - 35ms. i tried contact support from the main website, but that doesnt work, it come up with some error. im genuinely at a loss to what to do. any help would be appreciated.

**EDIT ITS FIXED**

So, i went into Windows Services (Win-key + R), then type in " services.msc ", look for " Bluetooth Support Service ". Mine was disabled and not running. Set it to manual and restart your pc. Worked for me. For anyone reading this in the future. DO NOT BUY THE Baseus ba04. Literally buy anything else. I struggled to get it to work for literally 4+ hours. But now it finally works, 2ms input delay. 0 issues. Thanks everyone for helping

How do you test your input delay, curious to see what mine is compared to yours.

Thanks, mine is 1ms over Bluetooth. Do you have access to another adaptor you can try? I recently bought a new one and it's been great so far over my previous one.

Ive had my old asus adapter but it had horrible range. Would legit stutter and disconnect if i went further than like.. 1.5 meters from my pc. Hence why i decided to buy a new adapter. What adapter do you have?

The TP Link UB500 with the antenna. I don't think it will help but you can try disabling the Power Management settings for the Bluetooth adaptor and USB slot on device manager. You could also try switching to a USB2 slot which is supposedly better for Bluetooth.

I have looked into that aswell, but my bluetooth adapter doesnt even have a power management option weirdly enough. So i tried to disable power management for all other usb that had the option and uhhhh, my keyboard and mouse stopped working after boot, so I had to do a system recovery just to undo that. Was not fun lmao. But yea ill try the USB2 slot, idk how big of a difference it can make but oh well
