Works Excellently
This product works excellently with my lenovo x60t. I use it to pair with a microsoft mouse, and it works excellently. It has an excellent range, and usually sees many other bluetooth devices in its ample range. I read the other reviews before buying, and they seemed to rate this device down due to their own computer's faults, and not faults of the product. I personally have had no problems with the device, and it has preformed admirably.

Great, but definitely not perfect... darn drivers
ok, i've had this for about a month. It's good, when it works. I'm on WinXP SP3, HP laptop. I wanted a nice compact dongle, not the big standard dongles.
Once you have it plugged in DO NOT take unplug it, leave it in. I installed it fine on the left side of my laptop. I have 4 USB slots two on each side. When I unplugged it, and moved it to the left side, the system recognized it, but the software had issues and wouldn't let me use it. I had to reboot and it would no longer work. I had to remove the drivers and reinstall to get it to work on the other USB, maybe it was just my laptop being stupid. eh?
The power on this isn't so great, probably due to its size, or just crappy drivers? It works, just not great for the audio setup I have. I use a sony Bluetooth TS/RX gateway to connect the stereo system I have to the laptop. This the main reason I got this. I also use it to sync with my PDA.
Drivers: Toshiba (crap)
I WISH they were widcomm. My logitech dongle which is only a class 2 (30 feet) comes with widcomm drivers and it works just as good, BUT its 5 times as big and not very portable as it can break, or get knocked and broken easily. So Cirago is good enough.
If I were to buy this again, I probably wouldn't if i could find a mini-USB BT donble with widcomm drivers. But, I couldn't find any to date.

Small & Works on Vista x64 with diNovo Mouse/Keyboard
I bought it to replace the big Logitech Bluetooth dongle that came with the diNovo Laser mouse and keyboard set, it was bumped and snapped off, oops...
It's very small, I don't even need to take it out of the computer when putting it in my backpack.
On Vista 64 Bit the supplied drivers work with the diNovo mouse and keyboard but not so much with the media pad (the display just says "Logitech", none of the music information or email previews work).
After I installed the drivers and checked Windows Update and there was a new driver available, when this one was installed (and I re-paired the devices) the media pad went back to the way it worked with the old Logitech dongle.
It's got a little blue light on that blinks almost constantly. It's not annoying, just another led happily blinking away (about as bright as the HD indicator light on my HP Pavilion dv9827tl)
So my suggestion is to use the drivers from Windows Update and leave the drivers that come with it in the box. If you use Logitech devices this should work fine with the driver from Windows Update. All of the status information like battery status show up in the Mouse and Keyboard settings and the music and email preview works perfectly on the media pad. Couldn't be happier with this Bluetooth adapter - an excellent replacement to the stock Logitech dongle

Item functions well
I bought the adapter to sync with my Verizon VX6800. The bluetooth device is perfect. Active Sync, on the other hand, has issues. :) For a quick implementation, I recommend not installing the Cirago drivers, as they are too configurable. Just let Windows detect the device and install its own drivers. Shipping, etc. was just fine.
