Hacking Question: Bluetooth communication on cfw

[zerox521]

Hi. I've been thinking about this a lot lately, but I have no technical knowledge, so I have no idea if this could be even possible that's why I decided to ask here and maybe get and answer. Could it be possible to enable Bluetooth communications with third party devices through cfw on Switch? As someone who owns Bluetooth speakers and headphones it would be nice to play my games without having to plug an adapter to the Switch's headphone jack.

I’ve got this one. It connects great. I hear a delay on mine, but that’s because my headphones don’t have the APTX connection. You might want to make sure your headphones support APTX, or you could experience the audio too.

Yep I have 3 of these

Would it be possible to do a Bluetooth connection without an adapter? The Switch controllers seem to run on Bluetooth to connect to the Switch, so couldn't you do that with other Bluetooth devices?

I could just be dumb and wrong, but I'm curious

Software-wise, it might be possible, but currently isn't, nobody has yet reversed the bluetooth driver/stack/whatevs. Might happen at some point, might interfere with wireless joycons tho, so might only be useable in handheld mode (or with wired controllers I guess)
