 Poor match with Mac Pro, poor support December 21, 2008
R. Vunderink
Belkin Bluetooth USB +edr Adapter Class 2; V2.0
Installation on Mac Pro went OK, but after restart Bluetooth is Off on the Mac and may only be switched on by starting the setup procedure again. Belkin's advice: Apple software is the problem. Apple's advice: we don't know Belkin.
 worry-free bluetooth networking in a miniscule device November 15, 2008
instantkarma (Watchung, NJ United States)
I've been using this little adapter for almost 2 years. Plugged it in my Mac G5 tower, and was up & running in as much time as it took to turn on the Mac. Didn't install any drivers 9used Mac native drivers), and even managed to hook up the Mac bluetooth keyboard & mouse in no time. Sync time & transfers to my phone & iPod are excellent. In 2 years, this adapter hasn't once dropped connection or malfunctioned. Am I missing something or just lucky?
Excellent Cheap Bluetooth Adapter October 15, 2008
B. Kikuchi (Los Angeles, CA USA)
I don't have much to say about this bluetooth USB adapter.
I plugged it straight into my laptop and Windows Vista automatically installed the drivers and it was recognized within a minute.
I bought it so that I can use my BlueAnt Z9i headset while talking on Skype, and it works very well. The blue light is a bit bright when it blinks, but I just unplug it when I'm not using it.
I haven't run into any problems with the adapter and it was only ~$20. I haven't tested the other bluetooth functions like data transfers and whatnot, but it would probably be alright.
If you're looking for a well-priced bluetooth adapter for your laptop or desktop, I would recommend the product. Happy shopping!
 Great for a while! October 8, 2008

This product was not cheap enough for the trouble and I only paid $7 for it. The first one I received DOA, the seller (Tech for less) was great and I received the replacement product within days. This one worked great...for about a week and a half then it would cut out randomly on my PC at work and my Mac at home. The hardware would shut down, then power back on, I just gave up on it and bought another brand. Once again I learn that you get what you pay for!
Works with Mac Bluetooth Keyboard September 7, 2008
Matthew Presley
Simply plugged it in to my old Blue/White G4 Mac running 10.4.X and the Bluetooth icon immediately showed up in the menu bar (no drivers to install or any other installation of software). Then used the Bluetooth setup assistant to pair it with my new Mac Bluetooth keyboard (that came w/ my new iMac). Brilliant. Would have given it 5-stars if it was a little more aesthetic.
