Asus Z170-A

[Flowey]

Well I,m trying to connect a PS4 controller to my PC via bluetooth, works fine via usb but uncomfy AF. So I'm having issues with Windows not even detecting bluetooth? Do they don't manufacture mobo with bluetooth included all the time? If my mobo don't have bluetooth compâtibility, what can I do to change that?

my motherboard doesn't even have wifi support..bluetooth and wifi is not standard in Desktop motherboard. you can buy a network card or some sort of a usb bluetooth dongle

Asus Z170-A is a budget board, so it will not have Bluetooth. Have to step to something like the Deluxe to get it, but that is too expensive. Just buy a usb extension cable.

WTF the tought never fuking crossed my mind that manufacturer would not put bluetooth support on each mobo... Thought that was a given since consoles do have it intergrated... WHAT A FUCKING DISGRACE

Different price, different features are added in. It's like buying a car. A $15,000 car will not come with some of the accessories or features that comes with a $30,000 one.

Asus are more on the expensive side when you want a board with extra features. On the Z170 there are not too much with built in wifi and BT.

The Z170-A does not have Wifi, that would be the Z170 Deluxe, and yes they do make Mobos with Wifi and Bluetooth.

I suspect it has probably got something to do with drivers.
