TP-Link USB Bluetooth Adapter for PC, Bluetooth 5.0/5.3 Dongle Receiver, Plug and Play, Nano Design, EDR & BLE, Supports Windows 11/10/8.1/7 for Desktop, Laptop, PS5/PS4/Xbox Controller (UB500)

Really great. My motherboard's built-in Bluetooth kept cutting in and out with my Bose headset. Once I received this and used it, I had no problem. Just make sure you have the correct driver, but Windows 11 sorts that out for you.The headphones would cut in and out while sitting next to my PC with an AORUS motherboard while literally sitting next to my desktop 2 feet away. With this I could walk to the kitchen and even out to the mailbox and still get a solid audio connection.Highly recommended.

Works for PSVR2, signal went from 50% with on-board Bluetooth to 97 - 100% signal. You have to remember that anything you paired with the on-board Bluetooth, you have to unpair FIRST. Then insert this tp-link USB thing and then pair again the devices (the Bluetooth functionality will be working through the tp-link USB dongle now).If you do not unpair the devices first, before inserting the tp-link USB device, you will probably have trouble deleting the paired devices in Windows and have to mess with Device Manager, disable the tp-link, then restart PC, then enable the on-board Bluetooth, unlink devices, then insert tp-link USB then pair devices again.

It works out of the box with Linux Mint 22.1 and probably Ubuntu tgat it is based on out of the boxsith no drivers. However, system reports speeds only 12Mbs which means it dies not use advance features of modern Bluetooth. So do not expect features of 5.3 until Linux development starts working on them. Other thsn that you can pair it with single device like keyboard, trackpad or mice. I have not tried ot it with headphones, but I assume it should work even at that low speed. What TP-Link supports is one thing and what specific OS supports or alliows is another. Everything depends on chipset used by manufacturer. This one has basic support for advanced chipset. If manufacturer used drivers on hardware tgat could make it universal and did not require specific OS like Windows or installation of drivers by manufacturer I would give it five stars. I would give it five also if it had drivers for all mainstream operating systems and not only Windows. It is time torcognize tgat even AMD supports Linux as Linux desktops make to mainstram slowly.

Ever since I got my computer, my Intel Bluetooth card has been nothing but problems. I experienced connection issues daily, my Logitech mouse would lose its connection every few hours. Finally the thing just died and lost all Bluetooth connections and never worked again. I ordered this device with same day shipping and literally within hours it arrived and my computer was fixed instantly. Truly plug and play, I disabled the defective Intel Bluetooth card in Device Manager and plugged this in. All my Bluetooth devices reconnected automatically and I have had zero issues since! Works flawlessly!

I ordered this item for a motherboard that didn't have Bluetooth built in (an Asus Crosshair Hero VIII) and there is not much to say except that once it was plugged into the USB port, Windows instantly recognized and set it up IN SECONDS!! I was pleasantly surprised that my Xbox One controller works with Bluetooth.If you don't have Bluetooth, GET THIS!!!

Works as expected and much better than the built-in bluetooth on my computer. Mainly bought so I could listen to music wirelessly on the PC with my Sony WH-1000XM2 headphones. The connection and audio quality are stable, no audio delay. It sounds just like connecting your headphones to your phone. No setup required either. Plug in and you're good.For best results, you should check Device Manager on Windows to make sure your old bluetooth in Device Manager is disabled, and if your headphones have a mic, you should disable the mic in Settings > Sound > All sound devices > Input devices > (Your device) > Don't allow. This will make sure Windows is using your better mic and the audio output is not compromised.

It did not connect any bluetooth device after i tried to just plug it in. It is not plug and play. I had to remove the driver which automatically installs after you plug it in and restart and now it works fine. Go to device manager and choose the TP link which shows under bluetooth device. Restart your device. Works great.
