Looks cool to me. I keep breaking stick style bluetooth adapters connected to my laptop. I just ordered one and will report back when it arrives to see how well it works.

EDIT:
$5.08 shipped

Bulk Beef and joshsquall's comments are meant in jest relating to another thread posted by rudeguy, but that's enough.

Sweet, thanks. Does it work fine with the default windows drivers or does it come with its own stuff?

 

[ivan2]

works fine in XP, no driver download needed though it comes with a driver disc.

Good to know. What do you use it for? I want to sync my phone over bluetooth and my past dongle hasn't played nice with it. Hopefully this one will.

I agree this is a great price. I need mine fast (I use it for my mouse and headphones that I use every day), otherwise I would cancel my order and go with DX.

Is it worth spending more and getting a 2.1 BT adapter? DE has this one for $9.35: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.11825

Will wait to see your report on how it works before ordering, thanks.

I've got one waiting for me today @ the PO (they left slip sayin I had to come get package)

Of course I have no BT devices to test with...

I actually have the DX model and I'll say you get what you pay for sometimes. The DX is not really that low profile (I wasn't able to keep it on my EEE 900 and put it in its case as part of the metal USB plug actually sticks out. Also, the black plastic portion is extremely cheaply made and comes off easily. Just a heads up... maybe worth $5 bucks but no more.

Works great. I had to download the drivers from Broadcom, but my Microsoft BT mouse and my Nokia BT headphones both work great. I haven't tried my BlackBerry yet, so no report there.

PayPay only (on the cheaper one) ;-(
