I game using DualShock4 controllers connected via cable. The bluetooth connection is complete garbage and starts lagging from 2 meters already. Maybe the cheapest BT dongles aren't the best for gaming.
I have used a DualShock 4 with a cheap no-name bluetooth dongle, and it worked great. Bad ones surely exist, but I think the difference is more about the chip and antenna than the price. If I were you, I would get a different dongle.
