Did everything it was suppose to

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 30, 2009

Verified Purchase

I like to think of myself is a tech savvy person, however, I have never used bluetooth (besides a headset for the playstation). I just bought a phone though and they said the best way to transfer things to it is via bluetooth.

So the first thing I did was hop on Amazon to find an adapter. The first one I saw was around $40! Once I saw this one I thought it would be terrible because of the price, boy was I wrong! I just got this in the mail today, popped in the mini driver cd, plugged the adapter in and viola, the drivers loaded.

The software it comes with isn't pretty to look at but it's so much better than the one that comes with windows. It took me around 10 minutes to figure out what was what but once I figured that out I was good to go.

Once problem I had was with my wireless network and bluetooth running at the same time. If I want to transfer a ringtone from my pc to my phone I need to turn off my wireless (which isn't a big deal). That, so far, is the only problem but being that this was less than $5 and that is the only problem, I really don't care. It works great!

Won't work with my Vista machine

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 26, 2009

Verified Purchase

I purchased this to use with my new computer, which runs Vista. The description said it would work with Vista, and so did the package. But for some reason, it just won't. I tried using it with the Vista drivers, and I get the little Bluetooth symbol on my right-click menu, but it wouldn't recognize my cellphone. And now it says something about a network cable being unplugged, which I don't get at all since there are no cables to plug in with Bluetooth! I tried installing the included software, and the software appears to work, but it still wouldn't recognize my phone. At first I thought the dongle was defective.

Before sending it back, I decided to try it on my old XP machine. It worked just fine with the drivers that were already on it. I later did a system recovery, which reinstalled XP with no service packs, and apparently it deleted the driver that was needed. But then I installed the BlueSoleil software that came with it, and once again had no problem using it.

I'm not sure what's going on with my Vista machine, but at least it will work with the other one. One thing that wasn't mentioned in the description that's worth noting: The software that comes with it is on a mini-CD-ROM. I couldn't use it on my new computer, but was able to put the files on a thumb drive using my old computer and install it that way. But if you don't have a drive that will play mini-CD-ROMS, I guess you're out of luck as far as the software goes.

Great little device

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 20, 2010

First for the bad part. Its definitely not 100 meters. Its about 6-10 Ft for me but I wasnt looking for anything more than that.
Now the Good. I really cant say enough about the reliability of this device for a few bucks. If you have software than pick this up but dont expect to get anything more than the device itself. Running windows 7 64 bit it installed with no need to obtain drivers. Gotta love 7.

Im using bluesoliel 6 and its perfect for all my file transfers.

For the person who said it didnt work with blackberry, thats quite common for BB have issues. And the person who said it doesnt work with there headset, well all I can say is duh. Its not intended to be used to make phone calls. Its for file transfers.

I gave it 4 stars because of the distance issue. but other than that for 2 bucks its awesome. I also play the Wii with it lol. Synced up like a charm

Free Wonderful connection to Wiimote

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 21, 2011

Verified Purchase

This is a great product that will connect any devices to your computer especially Wiimote. You don't have to purchase any software to enable the Wiimote on the computer and you don't even need any light to make the mouse movement on the computer. It works on windows 64 and 32 bit system. All you need to do and download free GlovePie software without the Emotive. You can google that. Once you do that. Just plug the bluetooth into the computer and wait for all the devices drivers to install. Then, open up the GlovePie file, run it, load the scrip in the Wiimote folder called "led..." Then hit run. Next step, hit the 1&2 buttons on the Wiimote and don't let the lights go out. Don't let go until you see the HID device successfully installed and the wiimote begin to change to 1 light and light itself up. That's when wiimote has established the connection with the computer and you can start to use it as a mouse now. This thing been on for 12 hours and it still maintain that strong connection.
P.S. If the above didn't work, you might need to install Visual C++ 2010 and Directx

Solid basic dongle, provided no obstacles and close range.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 1, 2015

Verified Purchase

I bought this back in 2011 and it's served me very well, particularly when you take into account it was $4. The stated 100m range is being extremely generous but if you're sitting right next to your desk then it doesn't matter. I used this for connecting android devices to my PC to transfer files and primarily, connecting wireless game controllers. I was never more than 10m-15m away and in the same room, so the connection was solid with no input lag.

Now that my set-up has changed and I'm 25m or so away with a wall between me and the dongle, I'm having to shop around for a new one. It's just not quite powerful enough to overcome the wall and range to provide a stable connection for a game controller.

i don't know how i got this adapter WORKING but its showing up in my device manager as a NEW network device and a few other devices show up as well.

the 1 device that shows up is BlueTooth USB

the 2 device is bluetooth PAN network adapter

the 3 device is its also showing up in my sound & video controllers as bluetooth AV audio, bluetooth SCO audio

the 4 device is its in my Ports (COM & LPT)
showing up as bluetooth serial port from port 4 through port 12

the 5 device i,m not sure if its from the bluetooth adapter or not but its showing up as microsoft virtual WiFi miniport adapter.

but from sort of LUCK i,v got it working on WINDOWS 7 now this is ODD because i installed the drivers from the disc it came with and installed the software that was on the disc i could not get into the configuration to do anything so i tryed again with BETTER success then the first time but anyway its runing just fine on WINDOWS 7.
