Hey guys (and gals maybe?),

 

For my updated setup, I want to add bluetooth to my PC, to allow for couch play with controllers. Due to limited desk space, it has to be internal in the PC. I'm looking at the AORUS GC-WBAX200. My question is: Could that thing do what I want it to do, with enough range to easily sit on the couch? I honestly don't care about the wifi, so if you know any bluetooth-only alternatives, please let me know. The only hard requirement is being able to connect multiple devices, and it being connected via PCI.

 

Thank you in advance!

We don't know where your couch is, how far away it is from your computer, what sorts of obstacles do you have in-between them....... This is to say, we don't know. That said, at least my Bluetooth-headset stays perfectly connected to my PC even if I roam around the house, so I'd hazard a guess that yes, you would probably have no issues.

Apologies, I should have specified. The distance is about 4-5 meters (excuse my metric, I'm Dutch). But in terms of obstacles, the PC is behind the TV, with Monitors in the way. I guess my sketch might clear things up. I guess the biggest question is if it's compatible with 3-4 devices simultaneously.
