Edimax BT-8500 Bluetooth 5.0 Nano USB-A Ultra-Small

Use it for few months. It does work OK on Windows 10. On Linux not so much. First, producer only supports two linux distros, Ubuntu and CentOS or something like that, and for older kernel versions. There is still a chance, that it works on newer version, as it was in my case, but you have to build drivers from sources, as there are no binary packages of any sort, and rebuild them every time you update kernel packages. No DKMS support whatsoever, which would be extremely beneficial. Not something you should do in 2021. Use it for few months. It does work OK on Windows 10. On Linux not so much.

Stuck it into USB slot and straight away our PC (Windows 10) has Bluetooth! Didn't need the manual & driver installation guide. And because it's Bluetooth 5.0, I've got multiple devices connected to it (2 headphones, 1 speaker). Also, no audio disruption even if I take my headphone to the other rooms of the house. Very happy with this purchase. Reasonable price & gets the job done. Stuck it into USB slot and straight away our PC (Windows 10) has Bluetooth! Didn't need the manual & driver installation guide.

The first time I plugged it in the mouse worked fine but the keyboard was constantly disconnecting, a few hours of troubleshooting I found the drivers out the box was the issue and had to visit the manufacturer page to get the latest drivers.

Works well for my pc connected to my UE Boom. Range is pretty decent for my living room and managed to reach into my bedroom (~10m through 2 walls). Great product would recommend Works well for my pc connected to my UE Boom. Range is pretty decent for my living room and managed to reach into my bedroom (~10m through 2 walls).

No issues with Ubuntu 22.04. Connection to headphones dropped once, but otherwise the connection works within a reasonable distance. No issues with Ubuntu 22.04. Connection to headphones dropped once, but otherwise the connection works within a reasonable distance.

I'm using it for almost a month, it worked on Linux ubuntu 18.04 & 20.04 without installing drives.
I'm very please with it. I'm using it for almost a month, it worked on Linux ubuntu 18.04 & 20.04 without installing drives.

Simple little dongle, does the job. I've had to restart the PC once or twice to get connection to my sony headphones, but other than that works well. Simple little dongle, does the job.

Unfortunately my Bluetooth Xbox controller would occasionally disconnect.

Returned and bought a PCI-E DLINK Bluetooth/wifi card instead. The DLINK seems to use good Intel wifi/bluetooth chips. Unfortunately my Bluetooth Xbox controller would occasionally disconnect.
