What should you know before buying one? I want to connect many bluetooth controllers at the same time if that does not increase the price a lot

      If motherboard/device has a M.2 E key slot, you can consider AX200 and AX210. The latter supports WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 in addition to WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2. You have to avoid their silbing models AX201 and AX211 however as they are using the Intel CNVi interface.

      As is typical with these combo cards, the WiFi controller is connected via PCIe while the bluetooth is connected via USB. I know some manufacturers are actually selling these on adapter cards that have standard PCIe gold fingers and require external connection to a USB port (like the EDUP one shared above).

          PCIe x1 cards that use AX200/AX210 will come with a cable that lets you connect to an internal USB 2.0 header port on your motherboard as the bluetooth part on AX200/AX210 is connected via USB.
