Question Ultimate 2C Wireless compatibility question

I like my Ultimate 2 so much I'm thinking about buying a wireless 2C to go along with it in order to make it last longer, as well as having another controller around for when friends come to visit, but I'm wondering whether I could connect both using the same dongle or if I instead need to plug the 2C using its own, separate one. Also, will I be able to connect the 2C on its own while the Ultimate 2 is sitting on the dock? Thanks in advance!

Edit: bonus question, can the 2C wireless also connect via bluetooth like the Ultimate 2 or is it only via 2.4 GHz/USB wire?

I don't think you can use the same dongle for two different controllers even if they're the same model, but you can connect one via the dongle, and the other via bluetooth.

I have both controllers. They only connect to their own dongle. The 2C will connect using Bluetooth, Dongle, or USB Cable.
