How it works
- Type the device's name as Windows shows it (part of the name is enough) or its device id.
- An advanced option limits the match to USB devices, Bluetooth devices, or both.
- A Bluetooth device that is paired but not connected answers false and says so.
- Inside Wait until it wakes when devices connect or disconnect, so waiting for a controller costs nothing.
- When true it reports the device's name, id and kind.
Routines that use it
Headset check before a game
When Game started fires, If your Bluetooth headset is connected, Set default audio device switches sound to it.
Wait for the controller

Good to know
- Covers USB devices and paired Bluetooth devices; hubs and built-in parts of the PC are left out.
Questions
- How do I check if my Bluetooth headphones are connected?
- Add Device connected and type part of the headphones' name as Windows shows it. It's true only while they're actually connected, not just paired.
- Do I need the exact device name?
- No. Part of the name is enough, or you can use the device id instead.
