But none of the realtek chips supports reconnecting to the joycons after they have been put into sleep mode and waken back up. As long as they're using the same RTL8761B chipset, the difference in price you paid is just for the branding.Īmong all the adapters tested, Realtek chipsets works the best, with very rare lags and input skips.

So save yourself a few bucks and get the cheapest one instead. Also, the ASUS is much more expensive than the other two but in my testing, they all performed the same. Reconnect still does not work but lag/skip is rare enough that I actually enjoy playing motion controlled games with it, without getting frustrated all the time due to input lag/input loss. It works great, even a little better than the RTL8723BU. So I decided to buy them both, as well as another random cheapo adapter that supposedly uses the same chipset as the ASUS and Orico but at a much cheaper price. I've seen some people having good results using the ASUS BT-500, and the Orico BT-508. ⚠️ Occasional one-sided lag for ~2 seconds. No noticable lag & skip most of the time. 3001, released 9, firmware version HCL9.55465/LMP9.17330 Pairing: ✅Both side OK. As long as they're using the same chipset, they all work (and suck occasionally) the same.Ĭhipset: Realtek RTL8761B (Bluetooth 5.0) Tested products(3): ASUS BT-500, Orico BT-508, and a random cheapo adapter.

The ones with crazily large router-like external antenna isn't performing any better than the ones with tiny internal on-board antenna. Still, it gets frustrating pretty fast.Īmong the products tested, I found that the lag is a chipset compatibility issue, rather than a signal reception issue. So everytime it lags I just pressed the side button and do a sleep/power cycle to fix it.

Good thing is it does reconnect after being put into sleep and waken up. It's usable, but still lags/skips quite often. Most of the Bluetooth 4.0 adapters available on the market is using this CSR chipset. This is the next chipset I tested after the Baseus BA07. Occasional (~once every 7 minutes) ~20 second skip & lag. Lag/Skip: ⚠️ Acceptable most of the time, with a slight (but noticable), almost constant lag. Driver: Microsoft Generic Bluetooth Radio 1.1682 (same as windows version.), released 1 (doubt it.), firmware version HCL6.8891/LMP6.8891(Note: Do NOT install the CSR Harmony Wireless Software Stack! Your adapter will be recognized as a CSR Bluecore Device and no longer provide bluetooth functionality.). Tested products(6): UGREEN Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter, Orico Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter, Baseus 4.0 Adapter, random cheapo*3 (Almost 90% of bluetooth 4.0 adapters on the market uses CSR8510, and even uses the same circuit board design.). Chipset: Qualcomm CSR8510 (Bluetooth 4.0).
