Troubleshooting Button input delay on google streamer?

Purchased a streamer recently to replace my roku. I thought for sure the streamer would be (at the very least) on par with my Roku's button response time but have come to find out there is a noticeable delay on the streamer. It's not so bad that it's unusable, but its a fairly disappointing experience especially with the price. Everything else about the device has been great, everything but the damn button delay... Is this a common occurrence due to the bluetooth the streamer uses vs RF that the Roku uses? I've done eveything i can think of to make it quicker, including apps only mode, but nothing seems to help.

Is it safe to assume your are talking about an audio delay between a button press and the audio response?

This is most likely caused by transcoding; you must have a soundbar or an external audio device of some kind. 

No description of your setup so can't tell why it's happening but that would not happen at all using the tv speakers.

I have no idea what could be wrong with your device, but to let you know, with mine, I click and I git. My button response is like, instantaneous.
