I have one of those Logitech F710 gamepads, and while I was generally happy with the controller itself, the proprietary Logitech wireless protocol is -- occasionally -- briefly disrupted by some source of radio emissions near me, whereas Bluetooth-based controllers seem to be able to ignore it.
Looks like it still operates in the 2.4GHz range same as Bluetooth. It's probably a nearby microwave which also puts out interference in that range, lower power/cheap Bluetooth and even underpowered WiFi operating in the 2.4 range can be disrupted
I think USB3.0 is also interfering, had to downgrade to USB2.0 for some reason, or maybe it was the 3G
