2.4ghz USB dongle devices performing like doggy-doo
I'm not sure what's going in here exactly. I'm on Windows 11 Pro.
I am attempting to use USB dongles for my 8-bit do ultimate controller, and my Red Thunder kb/m combo (one dongle between them.)
On both, I'm getting pretty bad performance, missed inputs, repeated inputs instead of holds, missed holds, input sticking and repeating or holding after one press. It varies how bad it is, but it makes typing downright impossible frequently.
The controller is variable as well, but there are consistent issues - for some reason it can't take double inputs very well at ALL, and that is a relatively new issue that I hadn't experienced with this controller before. If a game requires me to press two buttons at once I'm in trouble, because it will register maybe 1:50 times. Other consistent things like the analog sticks half dying if a trigger happens to be held. Sometimes completely dying.
I've tried both dongles and devices independently, both have the same issue together or not. I've moved them from USB 3.0 to USB 2.0 ports, I've moved them to the back to plug into the motherboard instead of the case, and just nothing makes any difference.
Is there some glaringly obvious answer to this I'm overlooking? I've never had issue with USB dongles in my life.
