That's my point. Bluetooth has latency unfortunately. It's one of the reasons (from my understanding) that the Elite Controller from MS didn't support BT until its most recent version. The Xbox 1 X (I think that's the model), it came with a BT enabled controller but natively used it's proprietary 2.4ghz connection to the console. But gave you the option to pair via BT. I used it with my Nvidia Shield TV, and was pulling my hair out when playing my games due to latency. 


The only way I know to reduce that latency would be to use a cable to connect the controller, or get the 2.4ghz connector to work. I think you can actually purchase that as an adapter for the DS4 now tbh. 

 

EDIT: This is what I mean:
