Solved! Can I connect (actively use) two bluetooth devices at once? Windows OS

[zeezeear]

I would like to use a bluetooth mouse and bluetooth headphones simultaneously. My laptop is the 2017 Acer Swift 7, with limited (2) USB(c) ports. I am aware that I may purchase a USB extender/hub, but would prefer not to have additional hardware.

Thank you in advance for responding!

If your machine has Bluetooth already, you don't need a USB dongle. I'm using my Bluetooth keyboard and there is some music is playing on a Bluetooth speaker.

You only need one USB port if you have to buy a dongle.

The laptop should be Bluetooth 4 compatible and therefore work with two devices

Hi,.Thank you! Your advice was solid. My mouse arrived a few days later and I was able to test it with the headphones, like you said.

Thank you, again!
