Input lag with built-in controls? (lemmy.nowsci.com)

So, I think I got backwards-deck. I play Rocket League, so input lag is a big deal for me there. However, the issue I have seems opposite of what I see online:

Using deck controls has noticeable lag
Using a wired X-Box controller has noticeable lag
Using a Bluetooth X-Box controller works pretty good

Can anyone think of why I would have such bad lag on the built-in controls?

EDIT So this might be display, not input lag!

Set Gamescope Disable FPS Limiter On
Set Gamescope Allow Tearing On
Set Rocket League Vsync Off
Set Rocket League FPS to 144

The deck works a lot harder, and fans go crazy, but it's playable without an external monitor now. I think in limiting to the didplay's 60hz, the Deck must be doing something else causing display lag.

That's really bizarre. A lot of rhythm games have a calibration test you can do for both visual and audio lag, the visual lag test would be a great way to get some time measurements of the lag with different controller types.

Edit: Rift of the Necrodancer has a free demo that includes a visual latency test.

Oh perfect, see edited post for a partial solution (so far), I will use this game to test my findings.
