How many devices can I connect to a single Bluetooth USB Dongle 4.0?

[Iver Hicarte]

I'm planning to buy a ps4 dualshock controller because I have some games that are easier to play with using a controller, I also have a wireless speaker. But one thing is bothering me, can I connect these 2 devices at the same time with a single bluetooth adapter? I don't wanna waste my money if I buy a wireless controller that needs another bluetooth adapter.

THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

It really depends on the bluetooth adapter, some can support simultaneous devices, most cant. Research the specific adapter.

In general, host devices support up to 7 simultaneously connected devices and a practically unlimited number of paired. Host devices are like a wireless router - you can connect many different devices at a time.

Client devices typically support a limited number of pairings, anywhere between 1 and 5, and only one single connection. They act like a wireless client - you can save many different networks but only connect to one at a time.

Some profiles only support one connection at a time on some devices - for example some bluetooth speakers can only connect to one computer at a time. A phone for example usually can only connect to one HSP (headset) at a time, but can connect multiple HIDs (keyboards, mice, etc.).
