Iogear Bluetooth 4.0 Usb Micro Adapter Linux

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.

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.

Ive used quite a few of these SATA bridges. This one is one of the best ones. I used to use the OWC/NewerTech adapters, but Ive had a lot of them fail. I took a number of them apart, and they have a lot of defects. The last one I got had the cord glued on with hot glue and barely soldered. All of them had lots of poor solder joints and many of them had balls of loose solder rolling around inside. This adapter is actually constructed properly. Im glad I got this one. The fit and finish is very tight and clean, and its more durable and suitable for professional use. Ive been using it for a while now, and its been holding up extremely well. I used it in Mac OS, Linux, and Windows (mostly Mac OS and Linux) and it is plug and play without any drivers needed. Its based on an ASMedia controller and does connect at 10 Gb/s speeds if your computer supports it, but can drop down to slower USB 2 speeds if your computer does not support USB 3. It not only supports UASP and TRIM, but it natively supports SMART with smartctl in Linux (use -d sat). This makes it very useful as a diagnostic tool for me. I can connect drives and run SMART diagnostics before installing them in RAID arrays or computers. With a USB-A to USB-C adapter, you can use it with computers that do not have USB-C ports. One word of warning is if you use an active reversible USB-A to USB-C adapter like the Angelbird one, this adapter takes 5 V from your USB port to power the drive, and the active adapter cannot pass enough power to spin up some drives. However, if you use a passive USB-A to USB-C adapter, (non-reversible) you wont have any problems, just make sure that the USB-C plug is oriented a certain way when you plug it in so you get the speed you want. The 12 V input is a nice touch if you need to use a drive that needs 12 V power. The 12 V input does not provide power to the drives that only use 5 V (Ive tried), but this is fine since USB-C can provide enough power for most 5 V drives.

I' use these for Linux distros, for me its better then USB drives...

I have another review that I wrote about this mic, but B&H's website doesn't appear to let me update that review. I've now been using this mic almost daily for over a year. The audio is crisp and clear, background noise is kept to a minimum, and people on the other end of the meeting/phone call give compliments on the detail that this mic captures. I used to use a condenser mic, but that also had the annoying feature of picking up a lot of 60Hz hum. This mic doesn't do that and I didn't have to make any adjustments to the room either. For the person who mentioned they couldn't fit it in a shockmount, it has one internally. That is why the mic is the size that it is. For those complaining about the USB port, mine hasn't had any issues. I accidentally bent the micro usb connector on the cheap cable they shipped with it and the mic survived just fine. The cable, on the other hand, was useless after that. I solved this problem by finding a 90 degree USB adapter so that the connector isn't pointing straight out the back of the mic. It now sits mostly flush and swiveling the mic is more likely to cause the adapter to disconnect at the other end. If your laptop, like mine, is usb-c only, don't try to buy long usb-c to usb-c cables. They are crazy expensive. Instead, try to buy a usb-c to mini or micro usb-b cable. They are much cheaper. My setup is usb-c to micro usb (10 feet), then an adapter from micro-usb to usb-c (1 inch), and then finally a short usb-c to 90 degree micro-usb adapter (6 inches).

Works great, cute little android, perfect for phone micro usb to usb adapter.

I use this with an Iogear 2 port usb automatic printer switch. I have 2 of these 6 inch cables that go out of the printer switch, one goes to a 7 port USB hub for a Mac Pro & the other to a 4 port usb hub for a Windows PC. I only needed short cables so they work perfect for me.

I recent;y purchased 1 IOGEAR 2-Port USB Switch. Liked it so much that I purchased 3 more. Planning to purchase another one.

Be aware this is for older phones, I have a micro USB-C and wasn't paying attention, but you can buy a little adapter to use it if you choose do to so :)
