Review: Works with Xcode 4.5 iOS simulator and OS 10.8.2 MacBook Pro 13" mid-2010 and iPad 4 with Retina display - I bought this to do iOS development work. I did NOT install the drivers that came on the 80mm mini CD-ROM. I followed Apple's Technical Note TN2295 to the letter and was happy to see the blue LED glow then flash slowly when I turned on Bluetooth via Settings in the iOS simulator. After much struggling I was able to get my test bed project to work with it. The LED glows and flickers vigorously when the CBCentralManager test bed project executes the "scanForPeripheralsWithServices:" method. The system connects almost instantly with my CBPeripheral test bed project running on my iPad 4. However, when I reverse the rolls and run my CBPeripheral test bed project on my Mac via the iOS simulator, the LED does not fire. The code runs just fine but there is no visual indicator that the hardware is responding to my CBPeripheral code when it is executing the "startAdvertising:" method. I am very new to Bluetooth development and I am not sure if this is my code or just the way BLE works. The only odd thing have I encountered so far was a console warning, "CoreBluetooth[WARNING] Unknown error: 1309", which can be fixed by turning the Bluetooth setting on and off in both devices. This may or may not have anything to do with this particular device. I have only had to do this once in a week or so of development work. I have not tried using it with UIBackgroundModes yet. In short, if you are doing Xcode Bluetooth development and want a Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy device that will most likely work with it, try this one. My rig: MacBook Pro 13" display mid-2010 OS 10.8.2 Xcode 4.5 iOS iPad 4 with Retina display iOS 6.0.1
Review: Good Connectivity, Plug & Play on Win10, that blue LED tho LOL - Updated May 5, 2024 I purchased this Bluetooth adapter on August 29, 2023. I installed it on an older Windows 10/Linux Mint laptop a couple of days later, and it worked well. Unfortunately, the audio quality began to degrade in mid-April of 2024. At first I thought it might be the Bluetooth earbuds I'm using, so I paired another set of buds. Unfortunately, the sound was still distorted. I'll have to replace this dongle. tl;dr - downgraded from 5 Stars to 3 Stars because the adapter failed after only eight months of audio-only duty. _______ I'm not concerned about the blue blinking LED because the Cirago adapter is going inside my laptop. If I had to keep it outside the laptop then the blue blinking light would be annoying. I like this little Bluetooth adapter because it's perfect for my application: I'm installing it under the keyboard an old IBM T61 notebook that doesn't have BT. I tried the TP-Link micro USB Bluetooth Adapter, but it made the keyboard bulge up a little when I reassembled the laptop. If the blinking blue light is a deal breaker for you then give the TP-Link adpater a try. They don't have any LEDs at all. Or do like Click & Clack and put black tape over it. :-)))

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works with new Bluetooth-equipped Xbox One controllers!
*by K***A on November 23, 2016*

I bought this to use with an Xbox One Wireless controller, as the latest models feature a Bluetooth transmitter. Installation with Windows 10 was plug-and play, and the device uses the standard Windows Bluetooth software for configuration. Pairing with the controller was simple and works perfectly, afterwards the Xbox One controller appears in the Game Controllers menu as "Bluetooth XINPUT Compatible Device".
