Too slow audio? I can't imagine most of the playdate games I play it would really matter if it was a millisecond off.

I don't think you realize how slow Bluetooth is, and how little delay it takes to really throw one off. You're probably right that a millisecond would be manageable. But Bluetooth audio can easily be a half second off as well as not being consistently off by the same amount of time.

Yeah half a second would obviously be a problem. Annoying even on slow paced games.
