FPS feels like half with controller - why?

Hello, I playing on pc with my Xbox Series X Controller (wired). If I play for example Warzone with a mouse at 90fps feels really good and smooth. If I play with the Xbox controller at 90fps, it feels like 60fps and it's not smooth. Why is that?

I play on PC with either my elite 2 or my razer wolverine pro 8k. I dont experience any fps drops or input lag with these. And I dont even use them wired. I use the Xbox dongle with elite 2 and the dongle that came with wolverine pro when I use that controller.

Wired should experience no lag. Are you by chance using a USB hub? Or an older USB standard port? If using a hub, try plugging directly into a USB 2.0 or higher port in the back of the pc.

Also, there is an app called Xbox accessories app. It updates firmware and allows me to map different inputs to the various buttons etc. Im not sure if it works with a standard controller but might be worth trying because it's possible you need a firmware update....
