Mini PCI-e Bluetooth card

[Gamboodle]

Is there anyone who knows about a cheap mini PCI-e Bluetooth card? I know I could buy a USB one, but I have a tendency to break those kinds of things.

Just so were clear, you mean the kind that plugs in a laptop right?
Then you will most likely need one that also has Wifi on it, otherwise you will lose wireless internet access.

Those don't come cheap and really you could just buy two dozen $1~$2 bluetooth 4.0/1/2 usb dongle instead on ebay.

Why would a Bluetooth card affect wifi?

i own one. One of the best wifi cards iv'e come across that isnt a full sized PCIe card...

 

If you are going to get a full sized PCIe card in the future, then the TP-Link T9e or T8e is deff your choice.

In laptops, the bluetooth and wifi are generally on the same card, and there rarely is have extra slots for additional mini pci-e cards in laptops, that's why.

Ohhhh.  I guess I hadn't read closely enough.  I'd thought op meant a card for a desktop.  Oops..  ?
