RE: Bluetooth Core 6.2 Shorter Connection Intervals availability in consumer hardware

Hello,

The Bluetooth core spec v6.2 have just been released, so it will take some time before it's adopted and rolled out on various platform and ecosystems. We don't have any overview of that no, but asking chatgpt it seems to think it will be late 2026 or early 2027 before it occurs.

You can find a demo in the recent ncs v3.2.0 that we released right before New Year: https://webinars.nordicsemi.com/events/45684338354

It should be possible to make a USB HID device that use Bluetooth as a transport, where the connection interval take use of the shorter connection interval by for instance using 1ms instead of the default 7.5ms that is currently possible. To find exactly what BLE feature is supported for a specific nRF5x variant check out here:
https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-3.2.1/page/nrf/releases_and_maturity/software_maturity.html#bluetooth_features_support

By using USB HID, there will be no dependency of the OS in terms of BT core spec support.
