This is a review of "Latest Bluetooth 5.3 USB Adapter for PC Desktop, Wireless Transmitter Dongle for Windows 11/10/8.1/7 Computer Laptop, Plug & Play, Pair w/Bluetooth Headset Speaker Keyboard Mouse Printers "I plugged it in and my windows 11 pc recognized it however none of my devices "saw" it. I returned it and got a more brand name one that works fine (in the same USB port as I had this one in). Amazon refunded promptly.

Too early to advise of longevity of the quality of the bluetooth device, however, I have installed in on my Windows 11 PC and installation was plug and play, I've initially tried the bluetooth connectivity to my watch as I will be using this to receive a heartbeat broadcast when riding on Zwift.It feels to be good quality and the finish is excellent, so far this is good value for money

While my initial review is still valid for initial installation issues, after fiddling with other settings and seeing bluetooth appear in the device manager I was able to get all BT devices operational again. A huge relief - it turns out to be a very inexpensive fix after finding my laptop wifi/BT card was soldered to the motherboard and not replaceable. I love the range of this antenna, so I worked my way up to 5 stars.------------While trying to install this device a driver tried to load. My up-to-date Windows 11 laptop popped up an error saying "A driver cannot load on this device." Further explanation added "A security setting is preventing this driver from loading. You'll need to adjust your settings to load this driver." So being curious I followed the directions for changing these settings and another pop-up box alerted me that this setting was related to the Memory Integrity, and the setting is explained to "prevent attacks from inserting malicious code into high security processes" In other words, install at the peril of your computer's security.

When I bought this I was sceptical about the range though when I set it up and tested the range I was very surprised how what range it would actually go. Living on a 6 acre farm I was able to go down the drive with no loss of sound or connection or any noticeable lag through the Bluetooth headset I was testing it with. Very easy to set up also.

I plugged it into a Windows 10 system with no Bluetooth and within seconds I could search and add any Bluetooth device from a mouse to my goal, a Bluetooth headset. The driver firmware is detected as version 12.55 something indicating it is being recognized as version 5.3.The range is not stellar or not as good as my phone, but exactly as spec at about 30 feet or 10 meters. If I go out of range and come back, it reconnects right away and works perfectly.

Worked right out of the box and increased my range for my wireless keyboard. Was truly plug and play, be sure to turn off your Bluetooth then plug this in. Some reviews mention needing drivers but I guess it really depends on your PC.

My desk is right next to my computer but the original Bluetooth it came with was so weak that I had to have my hands above the desk to make sure that it worked. When I would put my hands below my desk on my lap for comfort, it would start losing connection to my controller. Bought this and plugged it into my computer running windows 11, it recognized it as “Bluetooth radio 5.3” or something and listed it in my Bluetooth device list instantly. I didn’t have to install any drivers or change any settings whatsoever! I had my girlfriend stay in my room for a test and my controller was still connected perfectly from the farthest possible point in my apartment! One of my favorite purchases on Amazon for sure 👍

The info on this was a bit conflicting the table at the bottom of the page said it would work with linux the advert didn't, thought i would give it a go.The adaptor was picked up as a second bluetooth device but failed to function. so sent it back.

It took me a little bit to get it to work. Had to install it, then let the driver load and then unplug it and restart my machine and then plug it back in. After that it works all the time. Previously I tried plugging and unplugging it and that did not work. I also tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it and that did not work. Seemed like installing it and restarting my machine with it unplugged and then plugging it back in worked. Hope that helps. One of those combinations made it work so you might try those if you have isssues.

Very low range on the unit most likely faulty. Very good customer service, refund already on the way.
