PCI-E, Wifi / Bluetooth Card is missing both antennas (piefed.ca)

Can I interchange them with antennas from other cards? What should I look for? I have a Wifi 6e card if that helps. I'm not sure of the Bluetooth version.

My Playstation controllers on Linux are having connection drift when my in-game character will sometimes not stop moving for a bit when I move in a direction.

Anything marketed as a PC Bluetooth/Wifi antenna will work. They're basically just fancy pieces of wire cut to a precise length with a connector on one end (you can get more complicated ones, but there's usually no reason to).

Anything that looks similar to this will work fine. Just make sure it says somewhere that it has an "RP-SMA" connector.

I believe the antennas are standard. If they screw on correctly, they should work fine.

As long as the antenna is 1/4 the wavelength of the frequency it will work well.

2.4ghz is a much longer wavelength than 5, and 6ghz so any antenna will work fine.
