Kensington K33902US Bluetooth USB Micro Adapter

Bought this primarily to use my old Bluetooth headset with Skype through my laptop [Lenovo X61 Tablet] running VISTA Business. It works great. I am very pleased with it and my Skype usage has skyrocketed. Researched a lot before finally getting the right one - including Class I that boast of 'spectacular range'. Finally went with this and am very pleased. This was a replacement for Rocketfish [available at BestBuy] which just did not work. Pros Sound quality is great Good Range - 10-12 feet, after that starts crackling Automatically detects headset and connects with Skype Pairing is easy and intuitive Small form factor, and very non-intrusive Cons Cannot switch between headset and laptop speakers(Even if you take it out, the speaker remains on mute. Only way to use the speakers is to remove it from USB, and restart computer without having it the USB) Small form factor. If you take it out, it is so small that you can lose it. But, not really a big con, as you need to take care of your gadgets. On the whole, HIGHLY RECOMMEND the product. I would buy this product again.

I had previously bought a CSR dongle which was a 'throw in' with a cheap Terax bluetooth mouse I bought on EBay. The 'throw in' should have been 'thrown out'. Ha. I wound up returning this combo as it performed inconsistently despite trying different drivers. Now this Kensington Dongle is a winner. Despite several reviews I read warning about Win 7 incompatibility it (at least now) included a CD containing Toshiba Bluetooth Stack Version 7.00.05. Despite a lengthy install on my 5 and 1/2 year-old Dell Inspiron B130 now running Windows 7 Home Premium, it otherwise performs great. There are no driver warnings of any kind. I also don't have any yellow exclamation marks in Control Panel as I did with BlueSoleil. I paired it with a Dell PU705 Bluetooth Laser Mouse (sent the Terax one back) and my Verizon Wireless Samsung Reality (SCH-U820). The Toshiba stack gives you much more functionality than the Windows 7 stack and outperformed the Bluesoleil software I had previously tried. I actually like the software. File transfers to and from my phone are much faster than BlueSoleil. Windows 7 didn't allow me to transfer files from my phone to the computer. Toshiba's software does. The bluetooth functionality of the computer using this dongle now compares similarly to my newer Dell XPS 1640 laptop which has a built-in bluetooth card. In fact, I have the same mouse with the XPS computer with the built-in bluetooth and they perform identically.

If you have a canon printer with Bluetooth and you do not want to buy the 50$ canon BU adapter, this is the most affordable and best adapter for you canon printer. Just plug it in and the printer will easily recognize it. My laptop detected it pretty quick and i was printing my reports in no time. Only down side is its range. My printer is located in another room and i had to move my printer around in that room until my laptop could find it. Once i found a perfect spot for my printer, i was printing via my laptop which is in my room. The device is also very tiny. Once i inserted it into my printer's Bluetooth usb, i could not get it out and so i decided to just leave it in there.. Other than that the device is affordable, amazing and again AMAZING. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

Bought this for a bluetooth keyboard and mouse. Using Windows 7. No issues on the install or anything like that. Usually the software that came with it recognizes my keyboard and mouse pretty easily - but sometimes it does't. My mouse always stays connected but it likes to drop my keyboard at least once a day. So I changed batteries in the keyboard, same issue. So I changed keyboards (brand and manufacturer) same issue. Actually, sometimes it goes into "keyboard overload" and repeats a key a million times until you unplug the adapter! (It has done this with BOTH keyboards.) I tried everything - even a new computer! Same issues. This thing is solid on the mouse is why I give it three stars, but keyboards (IMHO) it doesn't like. I even tried placing the adapter right next to the keyboards - no go. pros: Rock solid with mouse Cons: Will occasionally: drop keyboard and have to manually reconnect or it may go into an endless loop with keys Overall - buy it if you are using a mouse - look elsewhere for keyboard.

This is so simple to use, but some buyers who are less tech savvy may be confused. 1. Plug in device 2. Put in CD and install software (follow instructions). 3. Restart your laptop when it's done and prompts you to restart. 4. Click on the start menu and look for the newly installed Bluetooth software. 5. Follow instructions. Just like any other bluetooth, you first must set the other devices in discoverable mode first (headphones, speakers, webcam, etc), THEN you tell it to look for the device. 6. When it finds the device, connect, you're done! It's really very simple. It couldn't have been any easier, and very affordable! It's also very small. This is good for me, because it allows me to place it in my laptop with the bluetooth still in (about the same size as Logitech's nano receivers). I HIGHLY recommend. -Chris

The worst thing I can say about this Bluetooth adapter is that it is so small you can easily lose it. But the point to it is that you plug it in to your laptop and leave it there. Since it doesn't stick out, it won't get broken off when you put the machine into the case, or bang it against the wall at StarBucks. Operationally, it is as good as my old one - no problems at all. And was about half the price. Nice piece of equipment.

Schnelle Lieferung und Funkt tadelos! :) Gerät wird zurzeit verwendet um ein Wacom Intuos Wireless zu koppeln, geht zwar nicht ganz so fix wie am Mac (wird unter Windows verwendet), aber von Wartezeit kann man auch nicht wirklich reden.

la livraison est assez rapide! content de dongle Bluetooth qui fais bien son boulot assez pratique pour tous types d’appareils, manettes,téléphones.... etc

Es mucho más caro que cualquier adaptador chino de 1€, pero funciona a la perfección, que es lo que cuenta. He probado varios y éste es el único con el que puedo conectar el mando de la wii en linux.

I wished to connect to some new bluetooth speakers from my linux laptop. I tried with another £1 bluetooth USB dongle I already had, this proved it works technically but it gave nothing but grief. Drop outs, not always connecting etc. So gave this a punt as it was still quite a reasonable price. Just plugged it in and it worked without the previous issues and without (for me) any software amendments. So obviously a superior product. Has a flashing blue light to prove it's alive, is that good? FYI comes with a Windows CD to install it if required, and as such quite a big parcel for something the size of a thumbnail.

I just received this Micro Adapter Kensington Bluetooth today, and it is WONDERFULL! After few minutes of setup, got my Mac OS PowerBook G4 talking with my HP Pavilion Windows-Vista and my very old mobile phone Nokia.
