Input lag with Nintendo controllers

I have an Mediatek wifi Card MT7921 that came with my Lenovo Legion 5 Pro gaming Laptop. I had wifi and bluetooth issues when connected to a 2.4 Ghz wifi and using 2 joycons. When I was on a 5Ghz wifi the stability improved but sometimes it was unstable. One good thing was that in both cases input lag was imperceptible. I decided to buy an Intel wifi card AX210 to improve the overall stability as I was expecting latest Intel hardware to be more reliable.

After updating the latest drivers from intel, the stability using 2 joycons and wifi was better using 2,4/5Ghz but I noticed that input lag wasn't great. It seems that this problem is common with gamers that are using Nintendo controllers and Intel wifi/Bluetooth cards:

I'm really disappointed as this annoying issue isn't fixed, I read on Internet other users that were experiencing this issue since 2019 and the problem persists. I'm forced to use my previous Mediatek wifi Card for gaming and wait for an update or solution from intel before installing this ax210 card.

Can you update and fix the drivers to reduce the input lag when connecting nintendo wireless controllers?
