Never had Bluetooth issues with Dualsense. But Gigabyte motherboard comes with an antenna.

I just buy controllers from amazon and I've never had an issue returning them if they aren't to my liking.

So that would be my first suggestion.

I always buy electronics from local shops so i can easily return them the same day if i need to. I don't have much experience returning stuff online, so i'm not as comfortable. Guess i'll have to start.

I don't know did they?

I tried a few times to connect it via bluetooth. And it completely sucks compared to the dongle. Unstable, more input lag, random disconnects, i had to re-connect it manually after a restart, etc. I never had such issues with the dongle, maybe one random disconnect ever 2 or 3 months.

This is correct, my living room PC lasted on bluetooth for about 2 days before using the official dongle (I reused my old one because I struggled to buy a new one even TWO YEARS ago). You will get random disconnects, weird shit like running forward when you don't touch the left stick. No audio jack support etc.

I had more trouble with the dongle after almost every windows update and connect my Xbox controller to my PC via Bluetooth and haven't had any issues that I can think of. Clearly though distance can be a factor.

I just stumbled on this, i don't know if it's accurate

It shows that the wired and dongle have almost the same (low) input lag while Bluetooth is almost twice as slow.

Most people seem to suggest BT is more laggy.

This is actually a decent discussion to ask or mention that I have always known Bluetooth to have the perception of being slow and by slow I mean something that reviewers measure but none of us will ever notice.

I just got the gamesir g7 ZZZ addition a few weeks ago and there is latency just like anything else that is Wireless but it's great and I have four Xbox series pads that I've been using the wireless adapter before the one listed in the original post. That same adapter still supports the series pads so that's why I've never let it go and why I have the pads on my pc. Maybe at some point when the stuff on my PC becomes obsolete I may end up switching to these other pads but I'm not in a shortage and none of them have any perceivable lag while playing.

The main point is that I have not used any of them with Bluetooth so unfortunately I can't compare but back in the day you would get these random drops where you are moving your character and you would just lose control and it would just keep going that direction until it resyncs briefly
