Hey everyone! I'm trying to get HoloIso 5.0 working on my PC Steve project. It has built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (version 4.0). Connecting multiple controllers like a PS4, Wii remote, or Xbox via Bluetooth seems straightforward, but I'm curious—can I connect more than one at once? Would I need to upgrade the Wi-Fi card or use a USB solution? Also, can Linux (especially Arch Linux) handle this setup? Any tips or resources would be super helpful. I'm a bit new to Linux overall, so step-by-step guidance would be great! Thanks!

Bluez allows using several controllers by default. Simply connect a budget Bluetooth dongle, follow the instructions for bluetoothctl, and insert "select <controller>" at the right place. This should resolve any issues.

It seems the naming overlap between bluez and OP's initial message has led to some mix-up. A device that connects via Bluetooth—like a laptop's wireless card or a USB dongle—is called a "controller" in the bluez software environment. Meanwhile, my media PC functions as a Bluetooth speaker, and that's why the BT keyboard still works even when playing music.
