Anyone know if I can just get a long usb extension cable and plug in a Bluetooth 5.1 dongle to extend the range of my controllers into another room?

Or do the devices require a connection to the ps5 itself.

Not looking for bt audio. Ps5 cannot move.

The range is already pretty good. What are you trying to accomplish?

My assumption is either the new Qlite or the back bone would do you better.

It’s in another room. For the ps4 I installed an external Bluetooth antenna. Might do the same for the ps5 eventually.
