Connecting 2nd controller results disconnection 1st one

I am not 100% sure if that’s a bug or no but here is my steps.

1. I connected 1st PS4 controller. It appeared in the DS4
2. I connected 2nd PS5 controller. It appeared in DS4 as Controller 2nd

Few seconds later Controller 1st gets disconnected. So I am not able to have 2 controller at the same time.

I have tried connecting Kensington Bluetooth USB Dongle; however, DS4 does not see the controller.

I am using a PC with MSI Godlike Motherboard. Turning the WiFi OFF did not do anything.

Here some Logs:

If anyone is interested, I’m continuing my research and it looks like a bluetooth driver problem since version 21.0.0.4

I have opened a thread on the intel forum: https://community.intel.com/t5/Wireless/bluetooth-disconnection-with-multiple-controllers/td-p/1439726

I have opened a thread on the Lenovo forum: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Gaming-Laptops/bluetooth-disconnection-with-multiple-controllers/m-p/5190280

And an old topic mentions the same problem: https://community.intel.com/t5/Wireless/Can-Intel-AC-9260-Bluetooth-work-with-4-concurrent-PlayStation/td-p/662264

Great. Intel built in BT is trash level hardware.

For people with the same problem, first check BT manufacturer. If it’s Intel, get a better one. There is no other solution atm.
