Just plug it in follow easy instruction and now you have bluetooth.

I bought it because it was on clearance, no other point really

I bought a refurbished all in one desktop online, and everything worked fine except the Bluetooth. I didn't want the hassle of sending it back, so I tried this and it worked. I found it open box so I now had everything I needed and it cost under 15 dollars.

Works nice for what the product is made for but if you don't read the instructions you will return it.

Bluetooth has been around for years now, so bluetooth devices are a dime a dozen nowadays. So, when I buy a bluetooth adapter for simple keyboard and mouse connectivity, I don't expect to pay much, but I do expect it to work well. It is not surprising that the packaging and documentation that comes with it is so small. Reliable, tried and true tech in the modern age, right? Not here. The documentation that came with the product and the documentation on Insignia's website are quite useless. It insists that it is compatible with Windows 10, and that Windows will install drivers automatically (which is what most people expect, right?). However, the device just sits there, with Windows 10 being unable to determine what kind of device it is. And, for some uninformed users, this failure to install will drive them to seek help online, where, in some cases, the "solution" is to download some shady third-party software to install drivers for them (which is totally not ever malware preying on the ignorance of people at all... /sarcasm). So, is that bad on the consumer for not doing their homework, or is bad on Insignia to let consumers troubleshoot Insignia's own faulty equipment? Bottom line, the adapter works just as well as practically any other bluetooth adapter, but it relies on the user to figure out how to find and install safe and legitimate drivers. "It works, so why just 1 star?" some of you may reasonably ask. Am I being a drama queen? I mean, maybe, but the point I'm trying to drive home here is that the Bluetooth 4.0 standard has been around for over a decade at the time of this writing. "It works" is not enough. Of course it works. Practically every Bluetooth device from any big-name company will work. So why did I call it faulty? This device advertises an automatic install of drivers, but when that fails, the company doesn't even offer drivers for its own device to install manually. If the device isn't faulty, then this is false advertising. Insignia makes a great range of affordable and good quality products. This is not one of them, in it's current state. The sad part is that Windows 10 does have a generic bluetooth driver that works wonderfully with this device; it's just that Insignia failed to make sure their device identifies itself as a bluetooth device - so the driver never gets installed unless manually configured. Failing that, the documentation doesn't acknowledge this as a possibility, and relies on the user to troubleshoot and fix the problem with Insignia's hardware. That being said, if you like to troubleshoot and fix the stuff you just bought to be able to use it, then this thing is great!

Use it for connecting my Xbox and PS4 controller to the PC. No connection loss has been notified.

Works well for the price. I would like it to have been 5.0.

After seeking advice on which bluetooth adapter would work on my computer I purchased it. Then I asked Geek Squad again for help in installing adapter. Found it was not compatible for my computer. So I had to return it. Age of my HP Tower why it didn't work for me.

limited range of approximately 10 - 15 feet. We needed 20 feet

Needed a quick Bluetooth connection for the computer for some headphones. Works well.

Strong connection, no interrupts, easily connect and switch between different devices.

I was looking for a way to provide better sound for my old PC. Due to file corruption I was forced to upgrade from Win 7 to Win 10 in mid-summer of 2018. Doing both the Win 10 upgrade and the Bluetooth for remote speakers made my old PC feel and act new again!

Poor range on these adapters. You have to be within 10 feet without obstruction to maintain a solid connection. They don't handle interference very well either. they should consider a redesign with a better antenna.

Sometimes it shows I am connected but the internet says I am not. Works ok for the most part.

If you want to connect a keyboard or mouse this may work well. It does not, however, work well for audio devices. Even 3 feet away the sound it choppy. Using it for a headset was less than optimal and I will be finding an alternative.

Sound quality was nice but the range was poor for the price.

Great item. Able to use my computer with Pro Beats earphones.

Did not connect with everything. It still was effective for most of the connections.

Works fine as expected. Price is a little high, but was convenient to pick up at Best Buy immediately.

Cannot connect more than 2 devices via bluetooth. Otherwise fine
