it surprises me that nobody has replaced bluetooth with something better tbh, like how are we still limited to 1Mbps when wifi running on the same frequencies can do 140 or so, I get that it's not intended to be high bandwidth, but it would be nice if it at least supported full duplex so we could get decent bidirectional audio.
most notably, a lot of people today want to use a bluetooth mouse + headset, but this quickly results in strange behaviour as the pc will just fail to fit them into the timeslots properly and you end up with low quality mono audio on the headset and/or a jittery mouse.
Surely we can do better than this without compromising on the low energy use case

@ivesen I've used bluetooth mouse + audio and sometimes even + gamepad, without experiencing what you're describing. So maybe there's something wrong with your particular hardware config, or you have way too much radio pollution where you're at.
As for why bluetooth isn't being replaced: backwards compatibility. Also, bluetooth was designed to be low power usage. That is basically the biggest limiting factor.

@alyx if you get a good connection it tends to work, but if you get a poor connection you get the symptoms I described, it's pretty much just up to luck, at least it's easy enough to just reconnect the mouse or headset to fix it
