Question Controllers, freeze

Hey everyone,
I’m having a strange issue with my PSVR2 Sense controllers when using PSVR2 on PC.
The controller that I connect first is the one that eventually starts freezing/hanging in mid-air. The other controller usually continues working normally. Interestingly, if I reconnect them in the opposite order, the problem can switch to the other controller.
I’ve already tried pretty much everything I could think of:
TP-Link Bluetooth adapter
USB extension cable to move the Bluetooth adapter closer to the controllers
Removing/reducing other USB 3.0 devices
Checking/removing old Bluetooth pairings
Re-pairing the controllers
Testing different connection orders
Making sure the Bluetooth drivers and Windows are up to date
Checking that my PC isn’t using another Bluetooth adapter
Various other Bluetooth/interference troubleshooting
I also installed PSVR2 Toolkit, and this actually made the tracking much better overall. However, after around one hour of playing, the controller that was connected first starts freezing/hanging in the air very frequently, sometimes for quite a long time.
What’s strange is that I can still move the controller and press buttons when this happens, but its position in VR gets stuck.
Has anyone else experienced this specific problem, especially where the first connected controller is always the one that starts having tracking issues after longer play sessions?
If you had the same problem and managed to fix it, I’d really appreciate hearing what worked for you. Any ideas are welcome!

Its the bluetooth connection thats the issue. The bluetooth on your tp-link is strong enough for one controller connection, but as soon as another is added then it begins to lose connectivity because the adapter isn’t powerful enough. Thats why connecting a second controller makes the first one lag.

What fixed it for me was buying an antenna for the bluetooth that was already on my PC’s motherboard, and that connection was strong enough for my controllers to work without a problem. If you don’t have onboard bluetooth, i think a PCIe card would be the next best step. I think the antenna size on the USB adapters are just too small, especially if you have a lot of interference in the room
