The Broadcom controller connects to the XBox gamepad, but is laggy and drops some inputs.
#ASUS USB BT400 LINUX BLUETOOTH#
Unfortunately, for me, it has trouble connecting with the XBox One S bluetooth gamepad (it works after connecting, but it is difficult to connect in the first place). I have a USB dongle that uses the Cambridge Silicon Radio chipset and for audio that one is quite reliable, and would recommend it if you're only doing audio. They have poor range, and the audio often goes out of sync. In my experience, dongles that use the Broadcom chipset don't work well. Really would appreciate some advice on this because I can't afford to waste money on the wrong card. I've searched the Mint forum for Bluetooth information but can't find anything that helps, so I So I guess my question is - Which Bluetooth pci-e x1 card should I buy that would work best with Linux Mint? My motherboard is a Gigabyte (LGA1156 socket) GA-P55-USB3 with Intel Core I7 Processor. I have a couple of spare pci-e x1 slots available on my motherboard but when I did a search for Bluetooth pci-e x1 cards there were too many to choose from, and most seem to be a dual setup with Bluetooth and Wireless. I was thinking perhaps a dedicated internal Bluetooth card might work better than a usb dongle, but I am limited to where I can fit it in my computer. I have to keep doing a remove and re-install of the adapter in Linux to get it working again. I'm currently using an Asus Bluetooth Adapter usb dongle on my Linux Mint 18.1 desktop pc, and although it does work ok, and Linux finds the adapter and connects my Bose QC35ii headphones ok, the bluetooth signal randomly drops out and the O/S can't find the adapter any more.
