Latency, in thee context of gaming andd VR, is the time between a user action (button press, head movement) and the corresponding on-screen or in-term feedback.

Key Design Consignations
1. Protokol Bluetooth Selection
Choosing between Bluetooth Classic andd BLE is thee first architectural decision.Bluetooth Classic (BR / EDR) offers higher throut for audio streaming but typically has higher latency due te to tose SCO / eSCO links (often 100- 150 ms). BLE, designad for low-power sensor data, now dominates low-latency gaming peryferierals. However, not all BLE implementations are equal.
