Should I Get a Bluetooth USB Dongle or a PCIe Card for My PC?

Hey everyone! So, I realized I need Bluetooth for my PC to connect my Switch Joy-Cons and PS4 controllers, but I'm in a bit of a dilemma. I thought I wouldn't need Bluetooth at all, but here we are! I'm deciding between a USB dongle with an antenna or a PCIe card that has both WiFi and Bluetooth. I should mention that I won't be using the WiFi since I have a wired connection, and the USB dongle is much cheaper. What do you all think I should go for? Will the dongle work just as well as the PCIe card?

I'd recommend going for the PCIe WiFi card. Even if you're not planning to use the WiFi feature now, it could come in handy later on if your needs change.

GamerDude42: I totally get what you're saying, but since I canโ€™t even move my PC and Iโ€™m always wired, I really wonโ€™t use WiFi. Thanks for the input, though!
