Nice price and it does work with Linux with some trickery. First, you need to have access to a windows machine. After installing updates on windows, it will place a file called rtl8761b_mp_chip_bt40_fw_asic_rom_patch_new in C:Windows. Take that file and copy it to /lib/firmware/rtl_bt/rtl8761bu_fw.bin on your Linux box. You will be overwriting an existing file, so make a backup just in case.Check: dmesg | grep BluetoothBluetooth: hci1: RTL: loading rtl_bt/rtl8761bu_fw.binBluetooth: hci1: RTL: loading rtl_bt/rtl8761bu_config.binThen: hciconfig -a should return results that it's UP and RUNNINGThen to check version: inxi -EBluetooth: Device-1: Realtek Bluetooth 5.4 Radio type: USB driver: btusbIt's pretty simple and if you run a windows virtual machine on your linux install, you can passthru the USB device and it'll work there too.

The device plugs directly into a computer USB port and gives it Bluetooth connectivity, if needed.

Thought this would increase my range over the BT4 adapter I have, but this one drops connections only a couple of feet away while my old one is good for 15 feet or so.

Tested on Windows 10 x64 and Linux Ubuntu 18.04. Worked fine on Windows, but I could not get it to run on Linux. Not taking a star off since technically they don't say it works on Linux. It did show up as a Realtek USB device on Linux, but I could get no further than that despite dongles like an older one by ASUS working out of the box.Only reason I took a star off is because it did give my computer trouble booting (computer was stuck until I took out the dongle), but I couldn't replicate that problem again.Good product, but sadly limited to current Windows OSs.

Flawless conpatibility with Windows 10. Total nobrainer. My struggles with a couple I tried before it disappeared. The OS simply saw it, started it, and automatically connected to my phone almost instantly upon plugging it into my PC USB. Worked with both my USB 2 and 3. Havw not yet tried with wife or daughter's MACbook, iPad or iPhines, but am optimistic. Will eventually test with Redhat Linux, as well. Very good performance speed. Reasonable price is highly competitive. I very highly recommend it.

Purchased this item in hopes of being able to connect ear buds to my PC with a clearer connection and wider range than the item I previously had. Very easy to connect. Crisp and clear connection. And I love the wider range I get. Definitely worth the price. I would recommend this item for anyone that has trouble with range coverage. Thank you for this product.

Prior to using this product, my Xbox controller would not have a stable connection to my PC’s Bluetooth. I had to keep the controller within 1 foot of my PC or it would start losing connection, which obviously was an issue.This product completely fixed that issue. You just plug it in, turn off your built in Bluetooth, and it’s ready to go (they provide you easy to follow instructions on how to do this.)I’m not sure what the max range is but I can comfortably walk around my room with my controller and still have a solid Bluetooth connection. I’m sure the connection would make it out to the hallway and farther but I never needed to go that far.
