Absolute best bluetooth adapter for Dolphin - Price no concern - henrydavis - 05-17-2013

I have a cheapie $3 Bluetooth 1.0 USB adapter I got from Amazon a few years ago and while it works OK every once in a while the feedback will drop off and my actions aren't captured very well. Then a minute or so later it will work. This has happened on two computer builds with this adapter so I think it's a hardware problem and not my software. So, what is the absolute best bluetooth option for Dolphin? My computer is about 10' away from where I game, in a different room. Path length from seating location to the computer is almost 30' going through 2 solid core doors.

Thanks!

There really isn't a "best" bluetooth adapter, or that I know of. I bought a generic one and it works just fine.
I got this one, I think, and it works perfectly fine. Either way, they're all good and it probably isn't the bluetooth dongle but your computer or dolphin.

I believe you'll want a "class 1" version for maximum range.

If price is no concern, I recommend you buy one with an antenna. Not only does it improve range, but also improves effectiveness when blocked by objects and stuff. My Asus BT-211 adapters randomly cut out when on the back of my PC, so I had to buy a USB extension cord and a hub to put them on my desk for line-of-sight.
