Cheap usb bluetooth dongle for a bluetooth mouse.

[professorman]

I bought a bluetooth mouse, only to find out that my computer does not have bluetooth.

I need a cheap bluetooth dongle, and I want it to be as small as possible so that it can be on a laptop.

I see that lots of cheap small ones sell on ebay for as low as $1. Have any of you guys ever tried these? Are they any good?

What is the lowest cost good enough one that you guys recommend?

They'll probably work just fine. I got a tiny bluetooth dongle years ago from dealextreme (a hong kong based site) for something like $2, and it's worked just fine. These ones on ebay are likely the same product.

It's called a marketplace. Companies create products and services for revenue. The competition is good.
