GameSir's latest controller, Linghu StarFlash wireless controller is made specifically for competitive gamers with ultra-low latency across various modes of connection. With 2000 Hz polling rate, gamers can expect very minimal delay for input commands to reach host system. Very important factor when playing fast-paced games where every millisecond counts.

2000 Hz polling rate sounds impressive on paper but what are the independent latency numbers? I want to see a benchmark before I believe the 1.2 ms claim.
The specs list 1.2 ms button latency and 3 ms stick latency specifically for the USB-C wired connection. You have to use that mode to hit those numbers.
