I understand the desire to use Bluetooth, but there is a (relatively) cheap $20 adapter that uses a protocol and frequency more similar to WiFi I believe (like arctis gaming headsets if you’ve ever used those) which works much better. My experience with Bluetooth has always worked as far as connecting is concerned, but I had to use a TP Link Bluetooth adapter and disabled the motherboard Bluetooth to tell windows to use TP (it won’t assume for you). Even after being connected, I don’t think standard Bluetooth has the proper latency and bandwidth for the controller to work reliably in a crowded airspace (I live in an apartment). I will get small skips and latency spikes from time to time. The Xbox adaptor for PC makes it work basically just as effectively as connecting to an Xbox, with the only caveat being it will overheat pretty easily if you place it near an exhaust vent on the PC and are pumping hot air all around it. I put it on the front of my case and it stays cool enough there to work reliably.
