USB Bluetooth Adapter for PC - Bluetooth 5.4 Dongle Receiver, Plug and Play, Nano Design, EDR & BLE, Supports Windows 11/10/8.1/7 for Desktop, Laptop, Keyboard, Mouse, etc (UB500)

This TP-Link USB bluetooth adapter is absolutely fantastic and does exactly what it promises with no hassle. I picked it up to replace a failed bluetooth module on my older PC, and it's been working perfectly, truly plug-and-play with no complicated setup or immediate driver support needed. It fit easily in the standard USB ports, instantly connected and set itself up, and started working flawlessly. Seems to be pretty durable and well built so far, and big added bonus that you get bluetooth 5.4 support (one of the latest and greatest) while still being backward compatible with older devices. The small nano size keeps it out of the way, connection speeds are fast and stable, and the price makes it a great value. If you need to add or restore bluetooth to your desktop or laptop, this is an easy, reliable, and highly recommended solution!

I love theseTP-Link Bluetooth USB nano adapters. I've purchased 3 of them so far to bestow Bluetooth on all my 15+ year old computers. First they are truly plug-n-play when using Windows 10 (and probably 11 as well). I plug in the adapter and Windows sets it up in about 2 seconds. Within 15 seconds I've already connected my Soundcore Bluetooth headphones. Second, the range is stunning. I have a 3-level 3,800sq ft house stuffed with endless opportunities for interference - a room full of computers, another room serving as a full blown music studio, and several racks of electronics on all metal shelving. With this adapter plugged into a front USB port on a 17 year old PC on the main level of the house, I get absolutely no dropouts as a I move about the house - even to the remotest, inteference ridden areas of the house. Tuly amazing. I could not be happier with this inexpensive device.

I plugged it in to my Windows 10 computer and was able to connect to my keyboard and bluetooth speaker right away. Then I tried it on my Linux computer and had no trouble connecting to the speaker and my phone, and transferring a file back and forth. The keyboard initially wasn't working on Linux, but after restarting the computer it worked just fine. I'm using Linux Mint 21.1 (≈ Ubuntu 22.04) with kernel version 5.15.

Now I am giving this thing a 4 on Functionality, because the Bluetooth is fine, but there can be issues. Your probably getting this for an older system. There lies a problem. If you have a newer Bluetooth mouse which takes up as much bandwidth as your external Bluetooth speakers, choose one or the other because you WILL have audio Stuttering, Choppy audio or a delayed cursor flying all over the screen. For older systems; An older system will juggle the signal between two devices first, then since the thing is old, route them over your only PCI/USB controller, then through software. You get latency and choppy audio. This is a bandwidth bottleneck. It's built nice and easy to push in. It functions.

This worked exactly as expected. I used it to add Bluetooth to a Windows 10 desktop that didn’t have it built in, and setup was quick and easy. I’ve been using it with a wireless Xbox controller for gaming, and it’s been reliable with no issues. A simple, effective solution if you need Bluetooth on a PC.

This review is specifically for those considering this device to use on your PC with the PSVR2 controllers. My experience has been pretty spotty using these VR2 controllers on my PC. At first, I tried using my motherboard's built in bluetooth (Gigabyte B650 Gaming) and that was horrible, only briefly connecting. So I tried the TP-Link UB500 which is also one of the recommended adapters on Sony's website. I also placed this adapter on an open USB 3.0 port on the front of my ATX case and that did work, but only for a few minutes. Then, I realized these should be placed on a USB 2.0 port, so I did that. In addition, I also added a 3 foot USB extension cable to that front port (recommended for a cleaner signal) and finally I was off and running, playing Half Life Alyx which is an awesome game! However, after getting to around chapter 2, I started noticing that my left controller would get laggy and unresponsive. Eventually, I would often play the game limiting my movement to literal inches from the bluetooth adapter, which is super frustrating when you're dealing with combines. Anyway, I dug in further and for me, the issue was with the drivers! I was using TP-link's latest driver on their website, 1.9.1051.3012. However, I also found that TP-link addressed the driver issue directly back when Sony created the adapter to use on the PC. The driver version TP-link specifically recommended was 1.9.1038.3020. So I went into device manager and uninstalled the 1051 driver and installed the 1038 driver. And that didn't work. Frustrated, I finally went in and also removed the vr2 bluetooth controllers from device manager and restarted my PC, reconnected said controllers via bluetooth, and I am now blissfully playing Alyx and even using a modified play area that is much larger than the default play area. So far, I have gotten zero lag on either controller and have often found myself at least a good 4 to 5 feet away from the bluetooth adapter! Hope this helps someone! Oh, I should also mention I am not using the official Sony branded adapter for the headset, but it has worked great from day one.

If you're buying any other kind of off-brand BT adapter to save a buck, you're wasting your money. I did the same thing and had nothing but issues with constant disconnects, especially on my wireless controllers. After purchasing this adapter, no issues, no lag, no disconnects. Sometimes you realize that there's a reason there are brand names.

Installation is simple. Simply just plug this into your PC, and you now have bluetooth. No extra steps, thats really it. It works as advertised.

I bought it to use on an older HP laptop running Windows 10. I plugged it into a USB port and laptop recognized it and installed it in less than a minute. So far I've used it to connect my cellphone, ear buds and a Bluetooth speaker. It was quite easy and works great. I'm confident it will work with other items and on other computers. For the price, it's a no Brainer.

buen producto, buena velocidad y alcance. muy recomendado.

Very useful

Tek tuk problem yaşadım ama bir tanesi ana cihazla alakali olabilir: 1) Bluetooth kulaklik ve Bluetooth hoparlör aynı anda pcye bağlıyken ufak ufak güç kopuslari oldu. 2) bt çalışmasını beklediğim mekanik klavyemin 3 farkli Bluetooth modunda da pc üzerinden bu klavyemi göremedim. Bir ihtimal aynı anda cihaz çalıştırırken problem oluyor olabilir. Ama uygulamasını doğru yapmadığım için de olabilir, win 10 driver doğru yükleme vs eksikliğinden bu 2 problem oluşmuş olabilir. Bunlara rağmen minimum 4 puanı hak eder.
