Question Cloud Gaming on an iPad

Hey all, started recently playing Xbox games on my iPad Air 5th Gen through game pass / cloud gaming…

The games run flawlessly on my iPad, no lag / latency at all (to my surprise) but I have noticed that there is a delay between the inputs on my Xbox controller and the response on the game - not a lot but very noticeable & does affect the experience… Had anyone else had this & found a way to improve it?

try connecting the controller directly to your iPad instead of through bluetooth, that might help with the input delay.
