    it's great to add Bluetooth if you don't have Bluetooth on a device, but if you've ever used a device that had Bluetooth on it and then went to using this adapter, then you'd realize that it's a cheap product marketed at someone who didn't know that there are other options available. Just upgrade your system to something with integrated Bluetooth and you'll have a higher quality Bluetooth signal and higher quality system and a better price/performance value.

    Dissatisfied with this product be even more disgusted with the lack of professionalism of the Best Buy tech support agents I was provided and disconnected from. Kids screaming in the background and conveniently no record of my 6 phone calls to help me troubleshoot this nonfunctioning product. Best Buy you're heading downhill. Lack of follow up and the tech support knowledge is lacking.

    After installing drivers other wireless dongles quit working. Even if I don't have this plugged in. The drivers for this mess up other drivers. It worked fine by itself for a while, but after less than a week of usage sometimes the connection gets lost briefly. Nothing like playing a game or doing something and no mouse.

    Had the adapter plugged into a usb slot into my PC and it got stuck. Was hard to remove due to its tiny size; luckily it wasnt fully in and I was able to remove it with a lot of force. USB connector itself separated from the electronics stored in the black cap.
