ASUS USB-BT500 Bluetooth 5.0 USB Adapter with Ultra Small Design, Backward Compatible with Bluetooth 2.1/3.x/4.x

I have a b650 motherboard and it uses some Mediatek Bluetooth adapter. It drops connections multiple controllers, xbox elite and ps5 dual sense, let alone suffering the drifting and delay. I was wondering if it was the controllers' fault.I plugged this device in and downloaded the driver package from the website for windows 11. I disabled the Mediatek Bluetooth adapter and installed the driver. Suddenly, the issues went away.It's too early to say how long it will last, but I'm happy for now. Response time and connectivity are above expectations.

I downloaded the upgraded the ASUS BT500 Drivers and it connected right away. I am using it for my XBOX Elite 2 Wireless Controller. The Bluetooth on my PC just won't pick up the controller without this USB Dongle. I am impressed with the 0 Lag that this connector has. It connects automatically when i power on my xbox controller. no need to unplug it every time. It also will work when plugged into the USB 2.0 or #.0 port. very happy with the price too. I highly recommend. I am using it with Steam to play Marvel Rivals.

bought it to replace my tp link 3.0 adapter which was not smooth for my wacom intuos pro tabletand I am so happy that I got this asus one cause it does not skip or lag anymore.I read that USB 3.0 ports emit distracting signalsand to make sure I get it as close to my device as possible,I used a USB extension chord and placed the adapter at the end of my deskrather than using my PC USB port directly.I highly recommend this adapter for anyone.

ASUS driver only up through windows 10. If using win11, must go through manual selection process to use the ASUS windows 10 driver. Default selection by win11 doesn't work-no bluetooth.Once you go through this manually, works.

Works very well, better than the horrible one usually in mainstream pc motherboards (why?). Good range, download not really necessary, fast to what I can tell, and since there’s no download it’s easy to use, even if you wanted to download the software, you don’t really need to, installing is easy, and sometimes it has a bluetooth gimmick, but that’s pretty normal, stability is good overall.

Desktop I built didn’t have anything Bluetooth. This device holds up a gaming controller, keyboard, and mouse all at the time with no problem. Connection is very strong and well worth what you pay for

Great bluetooth option. Bought it for my son to connect his headphones to his computer. Works great.

While I'm not in the habit of writing reviews, I have to get it out there that I absolutely must warn people to not buy this dongle. It simply does not work. And if it does, it doesn't work on Windows 8. I bought this thinking the Asus brand would give some form of familiar reliability but I haven't gotten it here. Bought it for my Windows 8 desktop computer, the only computer I own that doesn't have built-in bluetooth. It wouldn't do a thing.- First I plugged it into my desktop into my Anker 9-port powered hub; the really nice bestselling hub that has *no* problems acting as a middleman as far as drivers and USB dongles go. The proprietary USB dongle that goes to my mouse works, as does the Logitech unifying receiver. The Bluetooth menu allegedly attempts to detect it, but it doesn't find anything. I'm trying to get it to find my Nintendo Switch controller, a bluetooth device with a great reputation for working flawlessly with PCs.- Next, rebooted and tried again. Still wouldn't find it.- Unplugged it and re-plugged it. Windows detects the dongle but it still doesn't do anything.- Looked on Amazon reviews for tech support, as many folks are wont to do when they get it working through a workaround. Some say you have to download the latest drivers off the Asus website to do it. Went to the Asus website, the Support page for the product is completely blank. Great start.- Tried another review that said to look for the Bluetooth Windows service and make sure it's on - sure enough it is.- Found the drivers on a separate Asus page. Downloaded them, installed them. Now the Bluetooth function seems to have disappeared from the computer somehow. Rebooted, tried again, Bluetooth service not working.- Then took the dongle out of the hub and plugged it into a root USB port on my computer. Windows detects it. Bluetooth enabled. Still doesn't do anything. Rebooted, tried again, still doesn't do anything.- Reinstalled the drivers from scratch after rebooting, then rebooted again, still doesn't work. Just for the heck of it, tried to see if the dongle would work after installing the drivers before rebooting. It doesn't.- Looked on Google to see what I could find in terms of support for this thing. Some people are saying it doesn't support Windows 8. Whether or not that's true I dunno, but it surely doesn't work on my computer and I'm running decent hardware.- The first one I bought costed $15, the other one I bought (after I thought I lost the first one and later found it) costed $12. I've bought a lot of hardware over the years that I've had a week's worth of problems sifting through garbage forums trying to find a fix for and come up with nothing, and I'm not going through that rigamarole again. I'm not gonna spend weeks waiting to hear back from Asus Support, and pay some huge amount to ship it to them if they even care. I don't even care if I happened to get a defective model; I have a higher chance of getting a working product by just getting a different dongle. It'd be more expensive to spend more than an hour troubleshooting this thing when I could just work one hour for minimum wage and get about the same money to buy something of equal value. I'll find a dongle that has decent drivers and decent support.
