If so, which ones? I am looking to game and talk to friends over discord on my Steam Deck. No FPS, more bullet hells, ARPGs, etc. Thank you!!

    ok so I just tried it. it does work but it is kinda temperamental. and doesn’t work flawlessly.

    the signal keeps getting interrupted and janky as bluetooth can kinda be odd when it comes to having more than one device connected to it at one time.

    especially audio. so yes it technically works, but its not going to be super usable.

      I believe you might want to double check your phone and/or headphones. Or even the Deck itself.

      I use it daily and apart from the expected latency, the audio is great with no flaws. No interruptions or jank.

      Bluetooth 4.0 is capable of handling around 8 connections simultaneously

        i am not able to use bluetooth headphones and a bluetooth controller at the same time with the steam deck.

        the sound just constantly stutters. its been that way since I got the deck. so its been years now.

          Bluetooth controllers actually do behave weirdly on the Deck, the polling rate is sub optimal. You can modify certain system files to help, but you’d have to reset the setting after every update.

          But for audio, it’s mostly fine. I really do not have issues using this phone to Deck setup. You could consider a full system reset if it’s that bad on your end, it’s supposed to work well.

            no I’m not going to do a full reset when everything works already. lol. ive been living with it and its fine.

            the phone thing is neat but is a gimmick I can live without, to be honest. and looking at a reply or two, I’m not the only one who had jankyness trying it.

            but thank you <3
