How to add Bluetooth

Hello, I have a prime B400M-A motherboard and unfortunately, it does not come with a Bluetooth feature. How can I add Bluetooth that is reliable with low latency?

Buy a USB Bluetooth adapter that is 5.0 or higher. I recommend Asus ones

@ricardo_ortega Is a USB adapter really the only way to add Bluetooth function?

It's either that or a combo WIFI/Bluetooth PCIe x1 card. Keep in mind these cards typically use a free internal USB 2.0 header for Bluetooth.

Internal cards typically use the exact same controller cards as the USB options so there is little difference between them other than the antenna so as long as your USB ports are close to the device you are trying to connect, there is almost no difference between a built in Bluetooth capable motherboard, a PCIe card, or a USB solution.
