this one

@mitu I was wondering if maybe the PS controller running through the adapter would slow it down a little compared to a direct connection like the Hori. what do you think? would the signal passing through the adapter slow it down a bit?

Do you perceive a slowdown ? Do you think there is a slowdown or it's just a 'catch-em-all' situation ?

@mitu it's hard to tell really. I mean, I can definitely tell when I use my 8bit do wirelessly, but with the adapter, it's much harder. I wonder if anyone has a definitive answer on that. whether adapters can slow down the signal at all

AFAIK the PS4 mini works with RetroPie, I think there was a topic back a few months discussing it - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/16115/fyi-playstation-hori-mini-controller-works.

That's what the adapter specs will tell you. There's definitely a 'slowdown', but if it's less the 1 frame (and chances are it's considerably less), I doubt you'll be able to notice it or it would affect your gameplay.

I found one for 20 bucks on ebay. I'm going to get it and see if I can get actual numbers.

You found one ... ? A controller, an adapter ?

@mitu I bought the HORI mini ps4 controller. it looks really cool and has good reviews. I'm going to test both and see if there's a difference

@mitu just popping in to report that I tested the HORI controller. it's lovely. definitely noticed a slightly better response. with a few tweaks even punch out is very doable. the form factor is excellent as well.
