5 out of 5 stars Fits and works great   November 30, 2008
Fits securely in the usb slot. Won't fall out. Smooth edges so nothing gets caught on it.

Uses the Widicomm Bluetooth stack - I can't get the Toshiba stack to recognize it. Not really an issue - the software that comes with it works fine even in Vista.

I have had no issues with range - mouse works fine from 12 feet away in my living room.

I would definitely buy it again.



5 out of 5 stars Bluetooth Adapter   November 24, 2008
Im soo impress with this adapter. totally what i wasn't expecting they said its small but i didn't think that small , this bugger is tiny so much so u can hardly see it in your usb port and its work perfectly its like you always internal bluetooth. I would recommend this to anyone who wished to equipt their pc with bluetooth whether be desktop or laptop, this product works fantastic.


2 out of 5 stars not Vista 64 bit compatible   November 21, 2008
 4 out of 5 found this review helpful

This adapter is not compatible with Vista 64 bit systems. I installed and at no time did it say it wasn't for 64 bit OS's. After installing on a 3 day old pc I lost the ability to see 2 external usb drives. A USB keyboard/mouse were no longer recognized and the internal TV tuner was not recognized. I used Vista's System Restore and it got me back to before I installed it.
I checked IOGEARS web site and they do not have 64 bit drivers for it so beware if you try.



5 out of 5 stars Works perfect on my Mac Pro   November 10, 2008
For Apple users:

I have an Intel Mac Pro. I plugged it in, rebooted (was only required for first time mouse pairing), ready to go, mighty mouse was found and has worked fine for the 30 days.

This sure beats schlepping my tower down to the Mac store and have them install the internal bluetooth card.



5 out of 5 stars Works with Wiimote on Windows XP   November 8, 2008

This is a great little bluetooth dongle. It works with the Wiimote on Windows XP using the default Microsoft Bluetooth stack. This allows you to use the WiimoteConnect program.
