Anyone know if I can just get a long usb extension cable and plug in a Bluetooth 5.1 dongle to extend the range of my controllers into another room?

Or do the devices require a connection to the ps5 itself.

Not looking for bt audio. Ps5 cannot move.

    Because I don’t think the PS5 is expecting to get a bluetooth signal from a USB port. The USB cable is irrelevant- I don’t think you could connect to a bluetooth dongle you plugged directly into the PS5, either.

    If someone has a bluetooth dongle that’s compatible with a PS5(does that even exist?) they could test it, though, and we could know for sure. There’s no reason the USB cable would mess with anything afaik.
