I know a little about USB HID and windows USB programming and it should be possible to have a low enough latency.

Did the competition pro require a custom driver or did it use standard built in Windows USB HID drivers?

If it uses standard Windows HID then the latency is almost certainly in the chip (or more likely it's firmware) at the heart of the USB competition pro.

Anyone got some photos of the inside of a competition pro USB? So I can identify which chip it is using? There is a slim chance that I can get a firmware update from the manufacturer (assuming they are not OTP)

One Time Programmable i.e. not upgradable.
