Bluetooth 4.0 Usb Adapter For Laptops

I bought Waves NX Head Tracker to use it with Logic Pro X in a Mac Pro Mid 2010 OS El Capitan and Bluetooth 2.1 I needed Bluetooth 4.0, so I bought this StarTech adapter. Plugged into my computer, but it was not recognized as BT 4.0. Then I downloaded Hardware_IO_Tools_for_Xcode_7.3.dmg, and installed Bluetooth Explorer in the Applications folder. Opened it, Tools menu and choose HCI Controller Selector, I clicked at the arrows and selected Broadcom Corp and clicked Activate. Done My computer recognized the StarTech adapter as Bluetooth 4, and I was able to use my excellent Waves NX Head Tracker.

Mini USB Bluetooth® 4.0 Adapter is a fantastic product! Better working range than other Bluetooth receivers/transmitters. Works great with Sony MDR-10R after checking ALL of the configuration for USBBT1EDR4. You MUST install ONLY the last version of the CSR Harmony software; if you have an older version installed, you MUST uninstall the older version first. The new version unfortunately does not include drivers for all of the older transmitters and you can't have more than one version installed at the same time. I highly recommend this product.

Bluetooth has been around for a while and few modern laptops have USB Type-A ports required by mouse dongles, yet it is not easy to find an economical Bluetooth mouse. Managing several mice, each matched to a mouse dongle, is a challenge for educational settings. The M240 fills that void. I like how it feels. It is small enough to put in a bag with a laptop. It doesn't have the features of the more expensive M650, such as switching between different computers, but that's not an issue for its intended use.

I did not love that after Apple got rid of the USB and other ports on their laptops but this adapter is worth every penny. It is small enough that I can leave it plugged in when I place my laptop in my bag. It also comes with a small sleeve to store it in and not get damaged when i am not using it. In my opinion this is the best adapter to buy for your MacBook Pro.

Not much to say about this adapter. It was inexpensive. It works as advertised to connect USB-A/B to USB-C or Thunderbolt. Most new laptops have only one or maybe two USB-A/B ports, and several USB-C/Thunderbolt ports. If you are using older peripherals, you need these adapters to connect. They are much less expensive than buying new, hard to find cables with different connectors.

This device is a must have if you purchase one of the Mac 2020 Laptops with only two type C USB ports. This hub adapter has everything that I need to connect to the outside world with my new Mac laptop.

Bluetooth pairs well with Windows or Linux on my laptop, and the USB adapter provides reliable fallback. The mouse fits my large hands, feels solid, and responds smoothly.

My significant other works from home and needed to replace her Polycom Voxbox, which has been malfunctioning when its warranty ended. Replaced it with the Jabra Speak 750. Even though the Speak 750 supports wired USB and Bluetooth, I used the USB adapter that came with 750 in order to establish full Teams control from the Speak 750. It has worked flawlessly with her Windows 10 Pro HP laptop. Note that I tried using Windows Bluetooth, but it did not have the range of Teams controls that the adapter provides. Plus, noise cancelling works fine, where even noise from the dish washer does not interrupt the call. The Speak 750 supports up to 10 Bluetooth-paired devices with 2 active simultaneously. In using the USB adapter, the iPhone that is paired with the 750 does not interrupt any Teams meetings if the iPhone receives a message or phone call. Finally, Jabra technical support was excellent. Had an issue with audio feedback, and after 10 minutes of wait, I was able to talk to a live, knowledgeable person and resolved the issue. Highly recommend the Speak 750!

New laptops only have 2 USB ports---I need more and this is the perfect answer!

I have 2 older laptops that I wanted to restore their nonworking WiFi and/or Bluetooth capability. This did the job easily and perfectly.
