I recently purchased the Techkey Bluetooth dongle since I know the Pi system is unable to connect to multiple Bluetooth devices simultaneously. Unfortunately, I haven't had any luck doing so. I got Bluetooth to work on the Pi4, but it isn't using the dongle to do so. So I was wondering how I can go about doing this? Maybe there is some hidden gem article I missed or something. The 'solution' I tried implementing is as follows:
- Edit the config file by plugging the Pi SD card into your PC and adding "dtoverlay=pi3-disable-bt" to the end of it
- Boot the Pi back up and plug in the dongle
- Next, you execute the following command into the terminal: 'sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends bluetooth'
- Finally, check the status of your work by typing in 'sudo service bluetooth status'
P.S. Any suggestions would be truly appreciated, thanks :)
Output of 'bluetoothctl list' command:

Update: I ordered the Panda Bluetooth 4.0 USB Nano Adapter. So I hope that works because I have just been twiddling my thumbs.
nonapplicable since they're for the Pi3... why do you believe that the issue is related to the Raspberry Pi, and not related to linuxread countless articles and watched multiple videosdoes not describe what you actually triedbluetoothctl list. Do you see your new Bluetooth dongle in the list?
