I can’t stand this anymore and I’m wondering if someone has anything that could help.
I play with controllers a lot these days, and I am noticing that with my PC, the range and stability of the BT connection is just absolute fucking garbage. I can be sitting literally only 2 feet from the adapter, and it will still often spaz out and delay my inputs or hold them too long. Like I am turning right, let go of the stick and it continues to turn right for another full second after I am not longer giving any input, or it just doesn’t register I’m giving any input when I am pressing keys or moving the stick.
I know it ain’t the controller or the distance, and doubtful of it being interference because my PS5 is right next to my PC and I don’t even have my controller disconnect going into the furthest room in the apartment away from the console, but when I am connected to the computer, damn thing can disconnect when I set the controller down on top of the desktop.
The adapter I use was recommended to me by over 100 different users on the PC Gaming subreddit Reddit long before the exodus, and it’s supposed to have a 30ft range.
My only other idea is that it’s Windows itself. I’ve dealt with similar bullshit back in XP with the wifi polling. It would poll the availability of connections every 30 seconds, which resulted in huge lag spikes every 30 seconds. Used to use a utility to just kill the process in Windows and never again got those horrible lag spikes everyone always associated with wifi. Is this what’s going on with the BT? Is there a way to fix this crap?
From personal experience (and a few different albeit cheaper BT adapters), you would actually be better off purchasing a mobo that has the wireless technology built into it. Once I made that jump, I’ve gotten better results. Apologies as this is probably not the response you’d want to hear.
