Your experience is NOT typical. I have had random connectivity issues with every single Bluetooth device I have ever used.

My biggest complaint is bluetooth gamepads. They simply never work right for me... always registering phantom presses or just none at all. I always have to hold it above my head for it to work right which is unusable.

Xbox one wireless gamepad and ps4/5 gamepads are the most used out there and they seem to work fine, but I suspect these might not be using Bluetooth when connected to a console

I only use the xbone pad with a PC using Bluetooth.

I use the xbone on PC but it's connected using the microsoft official USB wifi adapter, I don't think that's bluetooth
