      Hi All

      I use a RPI 3b+, I connect xbox one s controllers over bluetooth. However with multiplayer (2 controllers) one controller will often drop connection or create lag (single controller is fine)

      I'm therefore looking to solve this by adding a usb dongle. I would prefer a BT dongle as it has more use case. Do people have recommendations of ones that work well?

      Alternatively does the xbox dongle do a better job and is that a better path?

      Thank you for assistance

      Pi 3B+ RetroPie version 4.6

        @cook1e_mr said in Bluetooth dongle or xbox dongle:

        In my experience, any BT dongle will do the job, it's just the built in BT of the Pi3 that is bad, a 99 cent dongle solved my issues back when i used the pi3.
        Worth noting i used a PS3 controller so your experience may vary.
