Selvom der findes mange aspekter hvor Google Stadia ikke har leveret en stabil tjeneste, så har de dog fået ros for designet af deres controller, som ikke forbindes til den enhed der spiller via Bluetooth, men snarere WIFI, der skaber en mere lag-fri oplevelse.
Og det lader til at Sony har kigget lidt efter, for de har nu, via USPTO, registreret et patent på en controller der netop kan begge dele, altså forbinde via Bluetooth og WIFI.
Selve patentet beskriver en metode hvorpå controlleren kan vælge den metode der giver mindst forsinkelse løbende, og dermed eliminerer en del af den input-lag, som irriterer nogle spillere.
Der står følgende i patentet:
"As recognized herein, with the growing sophistication of computer simulations such as computer games, players have become increasingly demanding of performance, one index of which is latency between gamer input and the resulting action on screen. As also understood herein, particularly in the case of wireless controllers there is little that can be done to address latency issues with a wireless link during play. There are currently no adequate solutions to the foregoing computer-related, technological problem.
A computer simulation controller includes plural controls, at least one Bluetooth transceiver configured for transmitting wireless signals responsive to operation of at least one of the controls, and at least one transceiver configured for transmitting wireless signals responsive to operation of at least one of the controls."
