Review: It works with Mac mini 2018 - My Mac mini 2018 had issue with mouse lagging. Especially when I am downloading and uploading large files, the lagging came to a point where my Apple Magic Wireless Mouse is unusable. This is due internal WiFi chip is interfere with internal Bluetooth chip. My guts feeling is that internal WiFi chip and Bluetooth chip are a one combo chip. When Wifi is heavily used, MacOS reduces internal performance to prevent the chip overheating and melting which it actually happened to my Dell Alienware compact PC. By adding this external Bluetooth USB, it solves the mouse lagging issue. The is Bluetooth USB will override and disable internal bluetooth. So you will need to turn off-and-on on both Apple keyboard and mouse in order for the new Bluetooth USB to discover them. You will need also to shut down your Mac first, plug this Bluetooth USB in and then start up your Mac.
Review: Works great on Linux for controllers and audio - Needed it to connect a Scuf Instinct Pro controller wirelessly to my pc running ChimeraOS on a spare nvme to game occasionally on my PC. Was recognized immediately and connection is strong and stable. Also, I booted into my main distro (Ubuntu 22.04) and connected my Sony XM4s (WHs). Flawless sound and stable connection. Haven’t tested the “hifi” audio codecs (aptx and such) because haven’t been able to compile the plugins in my first try (something about pipewire version) however audio over SBC is perfectly fine. Anyway, wanted to share my experience specifically for Linux. Windows probably works great also.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Plays great with WIndows 10 but range in house limited to 45ft
*by T***A on May 4, 2020*

This works great with Windows 10 1903. It changes from stereo to the mic/mono mode automatically and in a sensible manner. However the range in my house is not even 50ft. It may work longer outdoors with no obstructions but for those looking to get more range in a wood frame dry wall house this is no better than the $10-15 options. I tested mine taped to a Popsicle stick and it is about 3 inches above the top of my monitor. My use is for a range of just over 50ft from a dinning room to a bedroom. The stereo suffers dropouts at about 45ft. My zexmite has the same range. I have a DG60 that goes past the bedroom but is difficult to make play with WIndows 10. But that is what I will continue to use. FYI, for those that don't know, Bluetooth cannot do stereo with mic as there are only two channels so you get stereo OR mic/mono.
