I want something that works instead of PS5 Bluetooth that cuts off when I put it under my desk. It's a first class controller designed for pc that just works. It also has other cool things like never dying.
I found that disabling my motherboard's Bluetooth and using a dongle improved that situation dramatically. I suspect all the EMI plus a steel desktop case was a big contributor.
Oh also the ps5 controller speaker set as default was a horrendous and annoying experience lol
I did that and still wasnt great, but it was better at least.
I've experimented with Xbox controller on Bluetooth, and it wasn't a good experience. I did some research and it looks like it's because Microslop decided to ignore the bloetooh specs - controller doesn't signal required bandwidth, so BT driver defaults to the lowest one. If you force driver to faster transmission rate, it will work better, but all other devices that support lowest speed only won't work
Mine heats to crazy temps and I had to glue a copper radiator on to the microslop bluetooth thingy
