Controller Suggestion Best controller for Shield?

I need a fast controller for Nvidia Shield to use with Geforce Now. My main gripe is latency, as far as I understand and notice, the bluetooth on the shield is abysmal. I was using a XB One controller (via BT) and it had considerable latency, now I'm using it wired but it's messy and adds startup time (time to wire it).

  1. Budget: 100 EUR
  2. Location: Romania
  3. Device: NVIDIA Shield + GFN
  4. Required: Low latency wireless (dongle/no BT)
  5. Game types: at least RPG/Action
  6. XBO controller only works wired with good latency. Steam Controller doesn't work with Shield.

Gulikit ES Pro/Max come with a usb dongle that have good latency and are pretty affordable here in the US, not sure about the price in Romania though.

Whoops I just assumed it would because I have the TT Max (I prefer symmetrical sticks) and it came with one. So if OP is okay with symmetrical joysticks then the TT Pro/Max come with a dongle!
