DualSense on bluetooth lag and disconnection

Submitted by mati24 on #1

Hello

I have my server on Android TV (Shield 2015) with an USB bluetooth adapter shared, and my client on Windows 11.

I have a DualSense controller connected, and after some minutes, I have lag and many disconnections (sometimes the controller turn off and I have to turn on again).

I have nothing special in the Windows events, and I couldn't export logs from Android side as I can only copy in clipboard but nothing to paste it after that.

The DualSense firmware is up to date, I have last version of VirtualHere on both side.

Thank you

It is always radio interference that causes that

  1. The Shield must be connected to the internet via ethernet, and turn the wifi off. You shouldnt have it connected via wifi because the wifi and bluetooth will cause interference.
  2. The Bluetooth dongle must be in-front of the Shield to maximize the signal

No disconnection for a one hour test with a small extension (around 15cm), perfect, thank you
