Techkey USB Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter Dongle: Enhanced Connectivity for PC Laptop Desktop, Stereo Music, Skype Calls, Keyboard, Mouse | Windows 10 8.1 8 7 XP Vista Compatible Review

I always read negative reviews before I buy a product and I have to admit that they bother me a bit. But the positive reviews have been overwhelmingly positive. And the negative reviews seemed to focus on whether the adapter was plug-and-play or whether drivers had to be installed from the included minidisk. People who had problems installed additional drivers. So I took a chance and decided to only use the adapter if it supports plug and play and doesn't need any additional drivers. I'm glad I

I bought this bluetooth dongle to replace another brand that has served me well for years but finally gave up the ghost. Plugged the new dongle into my Windows 10 USB hub and everything worked fine for about three days. After that time, the dongle produced a continuous series of "pops" in my Bluetooth headset's audio. Moving the dongle to a dedicated "local" USB port solved this problem. After another five days, the "popping" noise reappeared on the local USB port. I've disabled the key and…

I bought this because the Bluetooth in my laptop was broken. I didn't want anything expensive, just something to plug in my new bluetooth headphones that I got. I installed the setup file from the CD and started the meeting immediately. The sound was terrible which I attributed to other users but then I went to listen to music and it was just as terrible. I complained to my IT person who found out that the drivers are from the 2012 CD. We went to the site, downloaded the .zip file, installed it

Great! We have a very nice old HP laptop from before bluetooth was everywhere. Windows 10 crashed it on install years ago, so HP has been happy to use Ubuntu ever since. We now have Ubuntu Studio version 19.10. We plugged in the dongle, typed "blue" into the software search, and listed "Bluetooth adapter" and "Bluetooth manager." The first adapter is simply installed with the Ubuntu machine name. Just use the Bluetooth manager to set up the dongle and you're good to go. Excellent! Remember that

After following the installation instructions that came with the dongle, the Bluetooth icon will appear in the toolbar. I clicked on it to open the window and then selected Add Device. A search box opens but it couldn't find anything even though there were 3 Bluetooth devices within 3ft of my laptop. I tried several times, but again nothing happened. I was a bit frustrated so I checked to see if the bluetooth icon was blue indicating it was on and then double checked by right clicking on the…

So I installed it on Windows 7 which means you have to download the driver from their website. This is where it starts to get crazy. Download driver? Yes, it is 450MB. Per. A.Bluetooth. Driver. 450MB. Okay, that's it, so I'll continue. I get the driver installation. Everything in the driver is like 2009. These are clearly super, super, super old outdated drivers. But does it seem to work? Phone, headphones and other things seem to pair up. Let's go ahead and play an MP3 track to see how it…

Hardware is good. Software wise, the drivers kill it, making it one of the most frustrating keys I've ever used. No computer will recognize this right away, you either have to go to the website or use the CD to download these weird drivers called CSR Harmony Stack. This is by far one of the worst drivers I've used in my life. If you disconnect and reconnect your bluetooth dongle, either on purpose or accidentally when you accidentally bump into it, the software will crash and stop working UNTIL
