Pros: Just plugged it into my windows 10 pc and it installed itself. Works great.
Overall Review: I have tried a few of the chinese no-name bluetooth adapters and always seem to have a hard time with them. The instructions are impossible to follow, they require special drivers, don't work, etc. But this ASUS bluetooth 5 adapter was simple and just works.
Overall Review: You gotta like it when things just work.

Good device to have on hand3/25/2021 1:40:16 AM
Pros: works very well. wish it were USB3.0
Cons: not USB 3.0 and gotta complain somehow.
Overall Review: cool thing, wish newegg had told me my pc came with bluetooth in the product description... would have saved me money... now I own a BT USB dongle. I gave it 5* because asus dont need no hate. they made a good USB BT dongle.
Pros: - Small and compact. Stick it in the back of your PC and you'll never notice it again.
- Works as expected
- Plug-and-play. Super easy setup with Windows 10.
Overall Review: It's a solid product that just does what it's supposed to do.
Do not purchase for a Linux system4/27/2022 7:27:23 AM
Cons: Look in online forums for any successful install of the USB-BT500 on a Linux system... There are none. Only a long list of failures.
When I contacted Asus support, they refused to help and said to contact the linux distro. What a ridiculous attitude!
Overall Review: Don't buy this Bluetooth adapter for a Linux system,despite Asus's claim that Linux is supported!
