Apple TV 4k 2021 Bluetooth range problems with gamepad

Apple 4k 2021 tends to loose bluetooth gamepad input as long as distance between is beyond 10 feet. As long as distance gets shorter, the gamepad will start working again. Tried out on both dualsense and nimbus+ and issue looks the same in both cases.

Depending on obstacles (for radio sensitivity), the range of bluetooth devices should be around 30 feet (~10 meters). Low battery of the controller could impact the strength of the bluetooth signal. Signal strength is determined by the amounts of milliwatts used for the antenna. Defects from dropping or other accidents could impact the strength of the bluetooth signal.
