Ldlc always on top

Works perfectly, no problem. I ordered it in Paris and received it at LDLC BLOIS. The dongle plugs into a USB socket on the computer and allows me to receive bluetooth, so I can send, for example, a photo from my mobile phone to my computer without any problem, like from mobile to mobile.

Does not work on Linux

the chipset of this bluetooth dongle is not supported under Linux. A patch exists but it implies to recompile a kernel much more recent than the LTS version of my system, which would imply the risk to make it unstable. So the dongle is unusable.

        No Bluetooth? Yes, Bluetooth!

        Allows you to get Bluetooth on PCs that don't have it or no longer have it!
        Old tower without a Bluetooth card? No problem, with W10 or W11 it's recognised straight away, with an earlier version you have to go and find a driver (but if you're sticking with older versions, you know how to do it, don't you ;))

        At the top

        Connected to my tower which did not have Bluetooth. Impeccable product, works well, I recommended the same for my second computer (gaming). I would recommend it.

        Linux compatible

        Positive point: the dongle works plug 'n' play under Ubuntu 22.04, so there's nothing to do.
        Negative point: all the dongles have the same MAC address, so if you use several of them there will be conflicts and you'll need to change the address using software.

        It works.

        I tried the object and it works perfectly. I don't expect it to be used intensively, as my need is rather occasional, so I can't say more.

        Just put it on the USB plug and it works. Impeccable, what more could you ask for ? The hardest part was getting it out of its packaging.

        CLEAR

        I bought it mainly to connect my Dualsense controller via Bluetooth. Works perfectly. I occasionally use it for a bluetooth headset as well, and it doesn't work either.

        PRACTICE

        I asked for advice on how to adapt a bluetooth to my PC. The answer was quick and very pertinent, hence my purchase, I recommend this product and the quality of service of LDLC

        Perfect!

        Bought to connect a JVC bluetoth headset, it also allowed me to use my XBox One wireless controller very easily under Windows 10. Installs in plug and play without having to hunt for drivers in the four corners of the net, it's perfect.

        Perfect

        Does its job perfectly, allows me to put my bluetooth headphones on my desktop computer to avoid being with the gaming headset all the time. And the range is very good, I can still get sound from my PC a few meters beyond my desk.

        Works perfectly.

        Bought for an old Mac Pro 1.1 from 2006.
        Mac OS compatible: Recognized directly by the system at startup (OS X.6, OS X.7, OS 10.11).
        Thanks LDLC for the delivery.

        good product but low power

        With this usb/bluetooth adapter on PC, my headset loses the signal when I change rooms at 5m whereas connected to the bluetooth of my TV, I go up to 15m and in all rooms of the house. I conclude that this adapter has a low power.

        Product + Delivery = Top notch!

        This product works perfectly and is easy to use. You just plug it in and it installs in 1-2 minutes. However, on the product page, it is not specified that the product also allows the connection of VR controllers.

        Transmission range

        I have already rated this dongle 10/10. I give my solution to increase its range. Just connect it to a 1m or 2m male/female USB extension cable depending on
        the location of your PC. Then attach the end of this extension cable with the
        TP-LINK as high as possible (on top of a piece of furniture, hanging on the wall...).
        I've been using the TP-LINK for a while now, but I'm not sure where to put it, so I'm going to use it.
        I did this, gained just 80 cm in height, and it's heaven!
        Bluetooth in the whole apartment ! And without lag or bug.

        Excellent Bluetooth adapter!

        Connecting to the fixed PC (tower) under Win 10 + pairing + connection with my Jabra headset: 2 minutes! Also, ordered Thursday 17/12 at 10am - received Saturday 19/12 at 9am. BRAVO ! PS: I live in Ajaccio. Thanks to LDLC for its speed, and there is the Covid 19, of course.... Merry Christmas!

        Correct

        Small bluetooth key that completes my configuration on fixed PC. What is it for? Mainly to play wirelessly with a PS4 controller. And even two. Not much to say: it works well, as soon as you plug in the key the bluetooth is recognized (Windows 10) and the price is interesting.
        The only downside for me is the range... but that's related to my specific use: I use my PC both on a desktop and on a TV. When I'm next to the PC, no problem, but when I'm in front of the TV, i.e. about 4m from the PC, I have a very unstable signal. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to use it on my PC, but I'm sure I'll be able to use it on my TV.

        The adapter works perfectly and is, since the purchase, commonly used with Linux. Nothing to complain about :-)

        Very good blutooth key

        I had cheap blutooth dongles and it did the job more or less but I often had signal loss on my peripherals and it ended up bothering me.
        So I bought this key and I'm happy with it, I don't have to hold my handkerchief or anything else closer for it to pick up.
        For what it costs now, you don't have to bother with cheap stuff that doesn't work well, I recommend this.

        works but limited

        works well but the range is extremely limited (not even 1m before losing the signal completely, a little less than 1m and wireless earphones jerk...)

        CLEAR

        The dongle was immediately recognised by W10 and the Bluetooth headset (Marshall Major II BT) was connected without any problem. No loss of connection, decent range, I can walk around my house with the headset on my ears without a hitch.

        Very good bluetooth 4.0 key

        Bought to use on a Bluetooth headset for video editing, this headset has no latency! The sound is transmitted in real time when watching/editing videos, which is very important when using for multimedia.

        To be recommended
