Best value ever
Perfect. Virtual plug and play on a really old Toshiba laptop, and just as awesome on my new one. highly recommend. And a great price too
Works very well.
Used this product to pair a PS4 controller to my PC and it works perfectly. Easy to set up. Haven't noticed any lag playing fast-paced games. The small profile means it sits tidily in the back of the PC too.
works well with only one bluetooth connection but...
works well with only one bluetooth connection, but with any other devices connected then it will either flicker between conecting the two or randomly disconnect one of them at random frequent times.
Plug and Play with Windows 11
Plugged it in and Windows 11 instantly showed it as a Bluetooth capable device. Paired easily with Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones and PS4 controller. No driver issues whatsoever!
The range is surprisingly good too, audio still plays to the headphones while in other parts of the house. Super awesome given how tiny this adapter is.
super easy
exactly what i was looking for. . plug in . . . connect head set. . . off you go. SUPER EASY
Great little dongle that resolved Bluetooth issues for wireless headphones
I was having issues with sound quality over Bluetooth and thought it was the drivers for my new headphones. It turned out my previously purchased AliExpress dongle was rubbish unsurprisingly. This little dongle adds Bluetooth for all cases, be it sound, keyboards, mouse etc which is great for my older PC that lacked native support. Having used it for a month now I can recommended it with confidence, wasn't the cheapest option at PBTech, but reasonable and it supports v5.0 unlike some cheaper products.
works, and nice being labelled
being labelled is going to save me having to guess what another black usb dongle does, so I quite like that.
beyond that, it does bluetooth and is proving more reliable than the usb dongle it replaced.
Reliable
Cheap and reliable
Damn good
very good for small connectivity devices and easy to use.
Good product and cheap
Product is works well with my HD headset, not much interference and the range is good too.
Relief to find it works
So good to find one of these that works with Ubuntu Linux! Haven't had any troubles with it, it's better than the ones I've used previously and it's super cheap! Thanks PBTech!
Actually works
I was surprised that this worked, after trying other dongles
