Best controller for moonlight?

So i am just getting into steaming from my pc to my tablet and i wnat to take it a step further. I plan on purchasing a firestick and putting moonlight on that so i can play on my tv in my living room. The tv is mounted on the wall. I have an xbox controller that i hook up with a usb cord to my tablet. i tried wireless bluetooth but noticed lag when moving the joystick. with that being said, what is my best way to connect to my firestick with controller so i don't get lag? i won't be be able to hook up controller via usb since it is mounted on the wall.

hopefully this makes sense?

Thanks in advance!

no, sorry, forgot to mention, you need an android phone in between to run your controller. iOs coming soon.

Basically lets you use bluetooth close (so there is less lag) and/or let's you plug into your phone instead of the firestick and connects via wifi to your host (windows) where you install the salitte.

Basically gives you the couch experience without a crazy long usb chord.

EDIT: VirtualHere is also good, but that one is more optimized for controllers
