    Surprised at how many good reviews there are. Maybe it’ll last long enough to make you happy and leave a good review, but after 3-8 months it’s going to start slowly burning out. At first I noticed a drop in responsiveness of my game controller, and then it began periodically dropping the connection of my controller, my headphones, everything, especially if I moved in the slightest. I troubleshot everything and can assure it’s the quality of the dongle at issue here. It will not hold a connection anymore even if I’m right next to the dongle.

    I bought this to make a very basic PC have the ability to connect to a bluetooth device. It didn't work with the computer and I'm still trying to figure out why. After trying to download the driver (or whatever) I gave up for a while as the driver didn't download and the whole set up really wasn't worth the time. I don't recommend this product or buying anything from ASUS. I have never had a favorable experience with this company

    To sum up this review in one word: garbage. This adapter is 100% garbage. It worked once and then was unable to pair with my earbuds a second time. The signal kept dropping and then the cap broke off when I tried to remove it from the USB port. Now I can't even return it. Thanks for nothing, Asus and Best Buy.
