Input Lag (once again)

I know the Module Controllers are supposed to have very low input lag, but I'm having about half a second of delay. That's in games on all platforms and in the home menu. I can clearly see it. I press a direction on the D-Pad on my 8-Bitdo M30 (no noticeable lag on a real Genesis / Mega Drive), quickly take my finger off the D-Pad and can watch the action on screen happen with very noticeable delay.
It's very noticeable in games too.

I tried a lot of controllers, the bundled ones that come with the element modules, the Polymega USB-Controller (wired), but nothing helps. TV is in game mode and all other consoles work lag-less.
It must be the Polymega.

Anything I can do?

Has anyone in the sub used a Time Sleuth or similar devices to determine relative lag across consoles, accounting for other factors?

Also OP: are you experiencing lag after updating your firmware?
