Here are some Bluetooth card recommendations for M.2 slots:
Hey everyone, I just installed a new PC about a month back. All my peripherals still rely on cables, so Bluetooth wasn’t necessary until now. I was curious if anyone has a recommendation for an M.2 Bluetooth card. Most modern devices include both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, but I’m going with Ethernet since I don’t need the wireless features. Just in case, the motherboard is the EVGA Z370. Thanks for any tips!
It seems you're referring to a PCI card with M.2 slots, which is typically used for SSDs rather than Bluetooth devices. The transfer speeds don't really matter for Bluetooth connections. I recommend verifying that the peripherals you're interested in support standard Bluetooth functionality. Most wireless products come with their own receivers, so it might be better to opt for a Bluetooth USB dongle instead. This gives you more flexibility in placement and helps prevent interference issues.
I considered getting the dongle too—they’re inexpensive and work straight away. For the accessories, I’ll stick with a PS4 and an Xbox controller; maybe a headset later if I want Bluetooth. I prefer wired setups over dongles, and I thought it was better to install a card than depend on one.
It had a mini PCIE card for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.0... the closest match to what you mentioned. By the time the PC was released, Bluetooth standards had advanced, making it hard for older devices like my MX Master to connect and finding a replacement turned out to be quite complicated. I suggest using modern dongles to stay current with today’s technology.
