Review on ASUS USB BT500 Bluetooth Backward Compatible by Seth Bushey

Doesn't do what I need Bluetooth network adapter

. This is an overview of the ASUS USB-BT500 Bluetooth adapter. My experience: In the end it doesn't do what I need. I use a Nintendo Switch Pro controller as the main controller for use with my PC. I mainly play retro games like Pokemon, Super Mario RPG and some others with this controller. My old bluetooth adapter was built into my Asus B450-I motherboard and works great with common devices like keyboard and mouse. Контроллер подключался нормально, однако, когда я разорвал пару или отключил его, я не мог подключить его обратно, и мне пришлось забыть устройство и снова подключить его, что очень раздражает необходимость делать это каждый раз, когда мой контроллер отключается или когда мне приходилось выключи мой Computer. I was hoping that this device could help me with this problem but it didn't help, it did the same thing where I would have to forget the controller and add it back in to be able to use it again. After all, I just bought an 8bitdo USB adapter and now I can connect my Nintendo Switch Pro controller to my computer by simply holding the A button anytime after restarting the computer or when I'm not using the controller for a while and it turns off automatically. If you're using a bluetooth controller or similar I wouldn't trust an Asus product, especially since I've tried the built-in bluetooth on my Lenovo laptop and it seems to work well and is a simple plug and play solution. I tried to check if it might be my main computer, I disabled my laptop's bluetooth adapter and used the Asus adapter instead, and the same problem, my controller wouldn't connect after I changed the Asus adapter removed and bluetooth re-enabled The adapter built into my laptop connected perfectly to my controller, proving it was the device and not something on my side. Positives: + Very small and compact + Does not require any additional ports, unlike 8BitDo, which you can see in my photos Neutrals:

Pros
  • Rugged design
Cons
  • No automatic setup
