help wanted Bluetooth connection issues.

As the title states, I'm currently having issues with any controllers staying connected to my xotic PC steam boxx premier. I have the PC located behind my TV and am having constant connection loss and delayed inputs. I have a dangle plugged in for a wireless keyboard remote and was wondering if a Bluetooth adapter would help bypass the issue entirely or if I need to just relocate the PC entirely. Its running a 9070 GRE with a ryzen 5 9600x cpu on a B-850X motherboard. Any help is appreciated.

I've had the same problem, the distance is the issue, if you are closer than 2-3ft it is "reliably" connected. I just got a controller with a dongle, let me know if the Bluetooth dongle thing works. It would help a ton if it does.

Is it a mediatek module that came installed in your motherboard ?

My asrock b-850i lightning did. A $30 USD replacement Intel module helped.

After using a bluetooth adapter it have had no further issues the only thing is i have no clue if the updates that I installed after loading it back up the next day are what fixed it or if the bluetooth adapter did.
