The only thing about this adapter that I have no opinion on is their tech support. I have yet to actually need help because of how simple using it is and how versatile it is. I honestly wasn't even sure that it would work with my old PC because of how outdated some of the hardware is, but it was a pleasant surprise that it did work. Highly recommend!

I recently purchased the Long Range USB Bluetooth 5.3 Adapter, and let me tell you, it’s been an absolute game-changer! As someone who relies heavily on seamless connectivity, this little gadget has exceeded my expectations.

Pros:

Plug & Play Magic: No more wrestling with drivers or complicated installations. Just plug it into your computer’s USB port, and voilà! Instant Bluetooth functionality. It’s like the universe whispered, “Let there be connectivity,” and this adapter answered the call.

Distance Defying: The extra-long antenna is like a superhero cape for your Bluetooth signals. Seriously, I’ve tested it across my entire apartment (which, by the way, is not a cozy studio but a sprawling maze of rooms), and it didn’t flinch. 328 feet of wireless freedom—take that, pesky walls!

Speedy Gonzales: With Bluetooth 5.3+EDR technology, this adapter zips data around faster than a caffeinated squirrel. Whether I’m streaming music to my headphones or transferring files between devices, it’s snappy and lag-free. No more waiting around like a bored penguin at the South Pole.

Energy-Saving Champ: Dual mode support means it’s energy-efficient. My laptop battery does a little happy dance every time I connect my wireless peripherals. And yes, I’ve named my laptop “Blinky.”

Cons:

None, Nada, Zilch: Seriously, I’m racking my brain here. Maybe the lack of a built-in coffee maker? But hey, I can live without that.

Final Verdict: If you’re tired of tangled cables, frustrated by weak Bluetooth signals, or just want to feel like a tech wizard, grab this adapter. It’s like giving your computer a magical hug. 🤗

Disclaimer: I may or may not have hugged my computer after installing this. But hey, it deserved it.

Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2023
Let me start by saying that the Techkey Mini Bluetooth 5.0 EDR Dongle is a lifesaver for anyone who needs to connect their PC to Bluetooth devices. As someone who has struggled with outdated technology for years, this little gadget has opened up a whole new world of possibilities for me.

The setup process was easy enough - I simply plugged the dongle into a USB port on my PC and waited for it to be recognized. Once that was done, I was able to connect all sorts of Bluetooth devices to my computer, including my headset, speakers, keyboard, mouse, and even my printer.

The dongle works flawlessly most of the time, providing a stable and reliable Bluetooth connection. However, there have been a few occasions where it hasn't quite lived up to my expectations. One time, I was trying to connect my Bluetooth speaker to my computer for a party, but the dongle just wouldn't cooperate. I tried unplugging it and plugging it back in, resetting my computer, and even dancing around the room with the dongle in my hand (hey, you never know). But no matter what I did, I couldn't get it to connect. Eventually, I had to give up and resort to playing music through my phone.

Despite that one frustrating experience, I still give the Techkey Mini Bluetooth 5.0 EDR Dongle four out of five stars. It has made my life so much easier in so many ways. I no longer have to deal with tangled cords or outdated hardware. I can connect all my Bluetooth devices with ease and enjoy the freedom of a wireless setup.

And let's be honest, there's something satisfying about having a tiny dongle plugged into your computer that can do so much. It's like having a secret weapon that no one else knows about.

I also have to mention how much I appreciate the compact size of the Techkey Mini Bluetooth 5.0 EDR Dongle. It's so small and unobtrusive that I hardly even notice it's there. I can leave it plugged into my computer all the time without it getting in the way or taking up valuable space on my desk.

And let's talk about the price. The Techkey Mini Bluetooth 5.0 EDR Dongle is incredibly affordable, especially when you consider how much it can do. I was worried that I would have to shell out a lot of money for a high-quality Bluetooth adapter, but this one is budget-friendly without sacrificing performance.

Now, for the funny part of this review. One time, I was using the dongle to connect my Bluetooth mouse to my computer. I was in the middle of an important project and everything was going smoothly...until my cat decided to make an appearance. He jumped onto my desk and immediately went for the dongle, batting it around with his paws like it was a toy. I tried to grab it before he could do any damage, but he was too quick for me. Before I knew it, he had knocked the dongle onto the floor and was gleefully pouncing on it.

Thankfully, the dongle was still intact (although it did have a few teeth marks on it). I picked it up, plugged it back into my computer, and continued working. It just goes to show that even when faced with a curious cat, the Techkey Mini Bluetooth 5.0 EDR Dongle can still deliver the goods.

Another thing I appreciate about the Techkey Mini Bluetooth 5.0 EDR Dongle is its compatibility with a wide range of devices and operating systems. It works with Windows 11/10/8.1/8/7, which covers pretty much any PC you might have. And it's not just limited to computers - I've also used it to connect my Bluetooth headset to my TV, which is a game-changer for watching movies or playing games without disturbing anyone else in the house.

There is one minor downside to the Techkey Mini Bluetooth 5.0 EDR Dongle, however. It does have a tendency to get a little bit warm after extended use. It's not hot enough to be dangerous or cause any damage, but it can be a little bit uncomfortable if you accidentally touch it. I've found that this is more of an issue when I'm using it for gaming or other activities that require a lot of Bluetooth bandwidth. For everyday use, it's not really a problem.

In conclusion, if you're looking for a Bluetooth adapter for your PC, the Techkey Mini Bluetooth 5.0 EDR Dongle is definitely worth considering. It's easy to set up, works great most of the time, and can connect all sorts of Bluetooth devices. Just be prepared for the occasional hiccup, and you'll be good to go.

I bought this to enable me to use my Pixel Buds with my PC even if I wander across the house. The largest distance I've tried is 50-60 feet, but they were flawlessly at that range and I'm very happy with the purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Significantly Improves WiFi Service
Reviewed in Canada on July 5, 2021
The Techkey USB WiFi adapter works as advertised. I have a brand name laptop that is about 15 years old. Speed tests showed that my download speed had decreased to a low of 1 to 2 mbps. I ordered and installed the Techkey USB WiFi adapter, and the download speed increased to between 50 and 100 mbps (upload speed were at comparable rates). This allowed me to restore the laptop's internet connectivity to a very useful level. I had a small problem in settng up the adapter, as the disc drive in my laptop would not read the disc with the installation software. I had to use another (much newer) computer to copy the installation software from the disc to a usb drive, and then load it from the usb drive to the laptop. I also had to disable the old, internal WiFi card in the laptop to get full utility from the Techkey. This worked perfectly. Also, previously, my laptop could only recognize WiFi on the 2.4 ghz level. Now, it recognizes, and uses, WiFi on the 5.0 ghz level.
