Joycons are bluetooth, right? That is always a shitshow in tems of latency.
And I asume you mean a split controller? I've never really seen the appeal to or any significant difference from having a detached gamepad (I genuinely do not understand the "strain" people find from keeping their hands together-ish while holding a gamepad...) but https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Category:Split_Controllers might have something worth grabbing. Mostly VR controllers but a few look like actual gamepads.
isnt all other controllers also bluetooth? its just way worse on joy cons.
its just my preference but thank you for the info ill look into it
No.
In the PC space, it is worth keeping an eye out for peripherals that use "2.4 Ghz". And in the console space, there are either "generic" radios or "non-standard" uses of bluetooth in the case of devices that rely on it.
i see, thank you for the info.
