Not compatible with Linux Mint
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I thought this might work with Linux Mint. Many Windows items work out of the box, this one does not seem too. Otherwise it's a great item, does exactly what it's supposed to do. I'll continue to take her, if I can get it to work with Linux Mint I will do an update.

Does the trick for Windows 10!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm not sure if people aren't following the instructions (and why would you use it more than 5 ft away?? , but it worked great for me! Just open the folded paper, copy the URL, and download the compressed folder off the website. Extract the folder, and double-click on the executable, then restart the PC whenever it's finished the install. It's really not hard at all! It did exactly what I needed it to and now I can access the Bluetooth settings on my PC (when I couldn't locate it before for whatever the reason). I'm running a custom rig with Windows 10 Professional, so yes, it is compatible with Windows 10 and the Bluetooth setting will show up in the mini tab close to the bottom right corner of the screen.

Faulty product with no available drivers
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Does not properly work. Comes with instructions that simply say "plug and play, it'll download the drivers and you'll be good to go" (paraphrasing obviously) however when you plug it in, there are no drivers found. A work around can be found on the internet but you have to be lucky and pick the right one and even then it's spotty AT BEST. Drops bluetooth signal randomly when a driver can be gotten to work with it at all (and for me that was like the 20th attempt, honestly not trying to exaggerate that number, I went through every possible driver it could be, I swear) Obviously not something that was kept up on when it became a "best buy brand". Think I'll order the Asus and if that works, I'll return this because it does NOT work correctly

No drivers
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this item hoping to add bluetooth my my sons gaming pc. Unfortunately he wasn't able to use the bluetooth because there were no drivers to download, therefore leaving him with a useless little usb adapter. He was confused and irritated so about a week later he bought the ASUS bluetooth adapter to see if that one worked and it did! Asus does it right, they actually put a link to where you can download the drivers! He is happy with that purchase, but not happy with the purchase of the insignia one.

Frustrating
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The driver is very difficult to download. It took several hours to find it on the internet. This seems to be an outdated device. Once I downloaded it, so far it is working. The process was very tedious.

Bluetooth is Bluetooth
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing is amazing! It sends little blue signals through the air and let’s my kids play their games on pc with an xbox controller. Wireless mouse? Yep. Wireless keyboard? You betcha! Tons of lag in FPS games? Absolutely!
