Good

Work on Windows 10 and Ubuntu Linux.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I chose this model because it appeared to have the most recent version of Bluetooth among the Best Buy choices. I could not get it to install into a Windows 10 USB 2.0 port no matter what instructions I followed or what drivers I loaded. Then I plugged it into a USB 3.0 port, and it just installed itself. It seems to work, my new Wacom Intuous tablet (very cool) operates as intended. As a bonus, after the Windows install it registered OK in Ubuntu Linux. Do not buy this if you do not have Windows 10 and a USB 3.0+ port that you are willing to dedicate to it.

I would recommend this to a friend Set up was difficult but runs great.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My PC had some difficulty seeing my ear buds through the blue tooth. After rebooting a couple of times, they appeared and connected. Connection is strong and clear.
I would recommend this to a friendWorks as advertised
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are getting harder to find as systems are coming with BT built in. But when the internal build fails or gets old, you need something easy to get connectivity back ad this fits the bill. Plugged right into my Win 10 system and loaded up the drivers itself. Hasn't skipped a beat since then. Much easier than getting a multi-function card (if you can find one of those even) and replacing parts.
