This is a good deal for the price of $10.99. You can't expect a lot for the price but it does work. I would recommend this for around 10 bucks.

Cons: -no Windows 8 drivers

Pros: -very compact-low price
Comment:
Bought it to use with Windows 8, but it is not compatible. I assumed the Win7 drivers would work, but they do not. It doesn't say it works with windows 8, so I can't complain. It only cost 7 bucks, so no big deal.

Pros: Works consistently
Comment:
Currently using this device with a Dualshock 3 (PS3) controller with Motioninjoy drivers, works perfectly. The driver makes it unavailable for other uses, but that is a limitation of the software not this adapter.Still works 12 feet away without obstructions. No input latency issues. Fair price, the cheap generic one I had didn't have sufficient features to work with the PS3 controller.Only mildly negative comment, this tiny item got it's own good sized box, could have been a padded enveloppe.

Cons: maybe only in my case but my connection drops out on me multiple times after connected

Pros: small easy to hide
Comment:
it was easy enough to install it and pair it but for some reason it would loose connection to my bluetooth mouse. I thought it was because apple mouse and windows don't play along but I got a second bluetooth dongle from logitech that has bluetooth 4.0. Do not seem to have the drop  out problem anymore. Don't know, for the $12 I saved buying this product it sure wasn't worth the trouble.

I have this working with bother Win 7 home prem. 64bit, and at work on Win 7 Enterprise N 64bit. my Samsung Galaxy S2 connects no problem. great range, they say 300m in open areas, well i get about 180-200 m away from my computer out in the yard, so that distance is through 3 wood and drywall walls, with the 3rd wall being an exterior with steel sheet metal siding and an aluminum garage door.very good product

Cons: Weak SingleMust download latest driversA bit wide

Pros: Cheap and affordableSmall compact size
Comment:
This is a good device for me, I don't really use it much. The single is pretty weak if it's placed behide the computer, I recommend putting it on a extension cord or a front USB port. This device is a bit wide, so it was hard to place it beside another USB plug.This device at first did not work with my Windows 7 PC. I had to download the latest drivers from the ASUS website first.Overall it's a ok device.

Connecting to Bluetooth devices was easy enough. decent range. unobtrusive size means that it will not get in the way, but could be easy to lose should you remove it.

Cons: Malfunctions and stuff

Pros: Sleek,Small,Basic
Comment:
The device isn't recognizing properly on my PC, this device completely fails if Motion in Joy was ever installed on your computer. Even if all Motion in Joy drivers/software are unstalled, the dongle still messes up. I have tried absolutely everything on every forum I see, and nothing works. Many, many others have experienced this issue, some have fixed it. Highly unrecommended if being used for a game controller. I have had the worst luck with ASUS products, almost all of them fail on me, and they have terrible customer support from all of my experiences. Never buying again.

This little dongle is perfect for my laptop. For only $5 after rebate (which I got), this bluetooth module works wonders. I indicator for traffic or connectivity would of been nice to have but its still great.

Comment:
The Bluetooth dongle stopped working after about two months of purchasing it, and I got rid of the box and cd, so the drivers online do not work for it, and the serial number was not on the dongle itself. It was cheap, so yeah.

This is a nice small bluetooth receiver, and usually sells for a reasonable price. Works fine, connects to bluetooth things perfectly. I hate when companies offer a $5 rebate though... really annoying. Oh well, still a nice bluetooth receiver.

It does exactly what you'd expect (after installing all the drivers anyways) and I can now use all my bluetooth preipherals and phone with it. Very handy if your computer doesn't have bluetooth already.
