Bad enough to make me write this

This review is from: ASUS USB-BT211 USB 2.0 Mini Bluetooth Dongle
Pros:
Worked sometimes. Seamless software integration with Windows 7. Recognized and successfully paired with my devices.
Cons:
I usually never write reviews, but for this little gem, I've made an exception.
Randomly causes BSOD. Yeah, random--as in hard to troubleshoot, like faulty RAM. I'd be using the computer for a while and suddenly the computer hangs, goes to blue screen with a bunch fatal error messages, and hard-resets. What eventually gave it away was the fact that right before the blue screen I sometimes heard the "doo-duh" sound that Windows makes when a USB device is disconnected, and realized that it only happened when I was typing (BT keyboard).
Overall Review:
My PC is perfectly stable and error free now--WITHOUT this piece of garbage plugged into it.
This it the third and final USB Bluetooth dongle I'll ever try.
If you want reliable bluetooth in Windows, buy a motherboard with bluetooth built in!
