I did get this "thing" to have a headset, keyboard and a mouse on a PC who is at 20 feet from me (on a big screen). Well this PC is a Vista 64bits. The software v-2 who come with-it doesn't work on this version of vista, I did need to download the version 6. This version is a 15 days trial and I need to pay 30$ (20 euro...) to unlock-it. I did install the trial program, it looks good but I can't make work more than one device at the time. The software seam to be capable but...
Once I did get the keyboard and the mouse going for less than 5 minutes. As soon I try to add the headset, everything went down. After 3 hrs, reinstalling the software, crashing the PC (who never did crash before) also about 20 times the program did freeze... then I give-up on this device and try-the set-up on my laptop with internal Bluetooth. The keyboard, the mouse, the headset, the cell and the I-pod work all together, in less than 5 minutes...

This is a piece of "work "looks good on paper, look good on the screen but I give-up on it. How they think I will get a 30$ software when the device doesn't work...

Also, I did find-out, this device is design to work after windows is running and doesn't initialize itself when you reboot. You need a lease another pointing device to establish the connections and also you need a other keyboard to put your password to log-in... I guess I have to do some homework to figure if there some devices who work at windows start-up...

My primary reason for getting this dongle was to use my bluetooth headset to listen to music on my pc at work. Got the dongle in the mail a few days after I ordered, but didn't get the software cd with it.. so I downloaded the latest version of Bluesoleil. Well, this didn't work well at all. It would connect, then it wouldn't. It wouldn't play music in stereo. So I did a lot of reading on the internet... Tried using the windows bluetooth driver, and it wouldn't play any music. So then I read that the bluesoleil software before version 6.2 worked much better. So I downloaded version 6.0.227.0 and it is working perfectly now.

I didn't think the dongle was providing A2DP, but it was the software, not the hardware. I was getting ready to buy a new (name brand) dongle, but this $0.99 dongle works great!!!

If anyone is having issues with the dongle, try searching for version 6.0.227.0 of the software!

The description says a CD and manual are included, but they are not. Also, this is built on a CSR chipset, and will not work with the Widcomm bluetooth stack. Save your five bucks and put it towards a better one.

This is my first bluetooth connector. I'd heard that a lot of them can be flaky in combination with different OS platforms and connecting devices so I decided to try this one since it was inexpensive. I've had no trouble with it. I've used it with both the official Lego IDE, Brickcc and RobotC under Vista to connect to a Lego NXT brick. I've also used it with Ubuntu 8 running CWiiD as an interface for the Wiimote. Just before writing this review, I ordered a second so I wouldn't have to swap between computers.

The product came written in chinese, the driver download website was in chinese.. could not use the product. I would cost more to ship back for a refund than to eat it... fortunately I purchased another product and it worked..athough I am having some communication issues.. I have got that one to work.. This one is to light to even be a paper weight.
