Hey, Recently bought 2 new PS5 controllers to play on PC(BazziteOS), that’s connected to a TV. I have the controllers connected to my network card (TP-Link Archer TX50E), that supports Bluetooth 5.0. However, while the PC is only 3 meters away from the TV and the couch, the controllers keep falling out due to bad connectivity. The PC is hardwired to Ethernet, and so are all other devices around, so struggling to think there can be wireless connections interrupting it.
Would really like to be able to play games on the TV. I also have an Nvidia Pro Shield connected to the TV(when the PC is not connected), but not able to think of a method I can have the controllers connected to the Shield instead, while still playing via the PC. Do I need to buy another, stronger Bluetooth adapter?
Anyone got any tips for the situation? Please share your setups/experiences regarding this, if you have.
Have a nice day 🌻
The Shield was made for game streaming which would precisely enable you to connect the controllers to it and run the games on your PC. Nvidia has since stopped supporting that software but luckily there are alternatives. The Moonlight client and Sunshine host are direct implementations of what Nvidia used to provide or there’s Steam Link if you’re using Steam.
I know the DS4 controllers had similar connectivity issues on Windows which could be solved by changing power management settings. I’m not sure if this issue still applies to using DualSense on Linux.
