Linux Xbox Wireless Adapter

This is the most beautiful Xbox One wireless control you can get out there. B&H offers the best price!

This adapter makes the wireless go mic way better.

I got this adapter to connect my Linux computer that has a thunderbolt connector now I'm getting acceptable transfer speeds.

I needed this to add 5GHz capability to an old laptop that I was using as a router. The big antenna on this adapter makes it 2-3 times faster and much more stable than my old means of connecting. For Linux, you need to get the driver package from the website, don't bother with the included disk. I used the latest version, I simply ran the install script in a terminal window, and it was up and running, that easy. The adapter unplugs from the base and can be plugged directly into a usb port if necessary, the antenna is hinged. The base is weighted and lets you move the adapter around for the best reception. Really can't come up with any negatives. It is hard to find a 5GHz USB Wifi adapter for Linux, and this one works very well. I'm sure the Windows and Mac support is as good.

Needed an adapter as my linux machine did not support the wifi in the motherboard. After install i ran updates and it picked up the adapter immediately. Works very well. Only thing i didnt like was that it didnt include a screw to secure it to the case.

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.

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.

This adapter works well with Linux, but will require the user to compile the open source driver and install it. Careful instructions are on the web. I use it on a workstation normally attached to ethernet, but occasionally in need of wireless access. Quick speed test on a strong signal was about 250Mbps (650Mbps on ethernet).

This adapter will be 100% supported on of the box starting with linux kernel 6.4 I believe. However if you have a fairly recent 6.x kernel it will work as long as you execute the 2 following commands after each reboot: 1) modprobe mt7921u 2) echo 0846 9060 /sys/bus/usb/drivers/mt7921u/new_id It works great for me on both my fedora distribution PC and my raspberry 4. Best wifi adapter I ever used. very fast and strong signal.

I had to get this adapter to hook up my xbox to the internet at college. This adapter worked perfectly. I thought that the connection would be laggy, since it was $, but I have no problems with it at all. Does exactly what I wanted it to.
