My trackball mouse. The primary click is now malfunctioning. UGH.

The wireless controller eating my input on a boss fight.

I only hear it in the gaming community, but I'm sure it's a universal frustration. Happens while trying to type on my phone, too. I KNOW I hit a certain letter, but the software skips it and I get a typo instead. Input eaten. The calculator app, in particular, does it all the time!

But yeah, it's pretty critical that my character jump in the game while an enemy is bearing down on me. Instead, she just stood there like a fool and got bodied.

Wireless lag is a problem in other places. I've never had a problem with the input devices that have a dedicated receiver, but I have had plenty of unreliability issues with bluetooth.

I only have an issue with Nintendo stuff. Playstation is rock solid. I agree about Bluetooth, but it's the price I pay to have one less thing weighing down my wifi.

Does it allow you to use a wired controller?

I have one. Thought I'd treat myself to a Pro controller for my birthday. Has about 20 hours of use and already going south!

Might see if I can return. My $20 USB plug-in is great!

Edit: The return window literally expired yesterday.

Did you try contacting them to see if it's defective or something?

Check your batteries too. I'd assume they're brand new but if it takes the standard AA or AAA batteries I wouldn't be surprised if they are dying or something.

It's all internal. Battery life is absolutely insane on it! Still close to full. Oh well. Appreciate the suggestions. First world problems, right?
