ZEXMTE Bluetooth 6.0 Adapter for PC, USB Dual-Antenna Plug & Play Bluetooth Transmitter Receiver, 200m/656FT Long Range, Realtek RTL616 Chip, EDR & BLE, Driver-Free for Windows 11/10/8, Black

Work well with my mouse, KB, Headset...

I’m reviewing this on behalf of my fellow Home Assistant users. Specifically, I’m using this with my Beelink EQI12 that runs Home Assistant baremetal. The aforementioned Beelink has built in Bluetooth. Which is great, however, I recently got a outdoor ceiling fan that only listens for BLE advertisements to change modes, setting, light, fan speed etc, so a Bluetooth proxy on a simple ESP32 wasn’t going to work. My issue was range, my Beelink internal Bluetooth was not nearly consistent enough to work with the fan, which I attributed to a range issue. So I purchased this with it specifically being identified as long range Bluetooth. There is a warning in the description that doesn’t work with Linux, and since HA is kind of built around Linux I was concerned, but since HA provided its own drivers I figured wouldn’t be a issue. I plugged this into my machine with A like 9ft extension because it’s all I had, but really only have it like 2 feet from the server itself. I needed the extension for form factor being an issue, this dongle to bulky to fit between the other stuff I have plugged in, plus a little separation is good to minimize interference. I am using a 2.0 USB cable in a 3.0 port. HA immediately recognized it and I was able to add the fan via a BLE Advertising HACS integration once I went through the setup process. So far, it’s working great. Time will be more of a data driven success of this product. But as it stands now, solved my needs!

First, I am happy with this device. I am now able to listen to my music from anywhere inside my 1200sqft home, and a little ways outside it. However, the advertised 520ft range is nonsense. I set my device on my front porch, I live in the country and have no trees on most of my property (though I'm working to add more). Walking from my front porch on a sunny clear day towards my property line in a straight line with zero obstructions between me and this Bluetooth device, it started failing the signal not more then about 40 feet from my front porch, nowhere near the 520 feet range that is advertised. So either I got a lemon, or they are just making stuff up to sell more of these. I know that they will say things like it's only 520 feet in special circumstances with no obstructions and no bad weather blah, blah, blah. Did you read the test environment I listed above? No obstructions! Sunny, clear weather! Best range I could get was about 40 feet! Stop false advertising just to sell your product.

+1*: Truly plug and play installation, could connect all of my bluetooth devices easily. -4*: Description claims it will work to 590 feet. I assumed this was a bit of an exaggeration. However, it will barely stay connected at 10 feet. So if the Chinese manufacturer was honest and said it works up to 10 feet, I would not deduct stars, nor would I buy it. Returned 20 minutes after unboxing it. Don't waste your money unless you are using your bluetooth devices within 10 feet of the dongle.

I use this with my Bluetooth headphones and game controller. I usually dont use Bluetooth for audio because of the bad quality and bad latency but this one isn't bad and is high quality. Its class 1 technology so it might be what I was missing with other adapters for headphone use. Its 5.4 which is awesome to have too. No lag

Woke up yesterday only to find out that my built in BlueTooth devices was no longer working, I did everything I could to try & reinstall the drivers, work through the settings to try & get it to power up. Nothing I did would revive the thing, researched the latest configuration & speeds available for a Bluetooth device & found that this one was the latest standard, max speed, greatest coverage, purchases it last night & it showed up this morning, plugged it in & instantly connected to all of my devices & best of all it gave me more coverage areas than my old built in device. A++

Update: The good: the second one plugged in and was immediately recognizing BT devices. Connected my headset and was up and running within minutes. No messing around with removing old devices, multiple reboots, or anything. The not-so-good: while it has better range, it's only slight compared to my old BT 4.0 adapter with no external antennas. It works, but isn't an impressive upgrade. If you have no BT adapter, this is better than nothing. Removed my 4.0 BT adapter (different manufacturer), removed it from device manager (Win10), rebooted. Plugged this in and Windows saw it immediately, great. Went to connect headphones and... nothing discovered. Removed this adapter, went back into device manager and removed it, rebooted again. Plugged in the 4.0 adapter and it was seen. Went to connect headphones and 6 BT devices seen. Sending this back hoping this one is defective and hoping to get a new one that works. Will update after the second attempt. Hoping it works, would like to use BT 5.0+ for my BT 5.0 headphones and not BT 4.0.

Used on a custom gaming PC and works with no issues. Multiple Bluetooth devices at once and easy driver install and updates. Great value if your MB does not have built in Bluetooth. Daily use.

Cumple bien y permite jugar con kali. Sin poder hacer jamming como con un sdr permite desautenticacion y ddos

Usefull bluetooth item

L’adattatore Bluetooth ZEXMTE fa esattamente quello che promette: si collega e funziona subito. Su Windows 11 l’installazione è stata completamente plug & play, senza driver aggiuntivi. L’ho usato con cuffie, tastiera, mouse e controller senza problemi di disconnessione. La portata è ottima: l’antenna ad alto guadagno si sente davvero, soprattutto rispetto ai classici dongle compatti. Anche muovendomi in altre stanze il segnale resta stabile, cosa non scontata su dispositivi USB di questo tipo. Bene anche la compatibilità con BLE, utile per periferiche più recenti. Tolgo una stella solo perché in ambienti molto affollati (tanti dispositivi Bluetooth attivi) ogni tanto si percepisce un minimo di latenza audio, nulla di grave ma da segnalare. In generale è un ottimo adattatore Bluetooth per PC, affidabile e semplice da usare, ideale per chi vuole migliorare copertura e stabilità rispetto al Bluetooth integrato.
