1 out of 5 eggs Does not work with Windows 8.1! 03/27/2014

This review is from: ORICO BTA-403 Mini USB Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter Wireless Dongle for Windows 8/7/XP/Vista Black

Pros:

The device works in the sense that it allows BluTooth devices to connect to your computer if your motherboard doesn't already support it.

Cons:

Shipping was kind of slow, but it was shipped from overseas so I guess that's to be expected. If using windows 8.1 your computer will constantly freeze completely and occasionally pop a volsnap.sys BSOD. Generally speaking that error is from a bad or faulty driver, after scouring the internet there doesn't seem to be another driver for this product. Needless to say it's not worth the money and a terrible purchase if you have Windows 8.1!

Overall Review:

If it wasn't such an obscure product maker you would have a different driver to use, one that works. Spend an extra 5-10$ so you don't have to go through what I did, because the wait time shipping it here wasn't great. I can't even imagine the wait time it'd take to ship it back. So it's an 8-9$ paperweight... That isn't even heavy enough to be a paperweight...
