An unavoidable reality with any controller is that the process from the player making an input to said input reflecting on screen is not instantaneous. There will always be a slight delay to account for the controller sending the input to the console, the input being read and translated into information that is sent to the screen that changes the colors of its pixels accordingly. Typically a wired controller has less latency than a wireless controller, as the process of sending the information to a sensor adds an extra step and takes more time.

The general understanding is that every version of a particular controller model has the exact same latency. However, this is not always true. Aside from defective controllers that simply do not work as intended, errors during production could lead to two identical looking controllers having different amounts of latency. This is especially true among third party controllers, as there is no guarantee they went through the same type and amount of testing officially licensed controllers have gone through. While the difference does technically affect gameplay, the difference is usually so miniscule that it often goes unnoticed. Modifications like the [[Universal Controller Fix]] and others like it exist to mitigate these minor discrepancies for those who desire perfectly optimized controllers.
