There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I ordered one of these Hideez modules based on comments stating how well it worked with Linux. I plugged mine into a USB port and it was detected and worked great. I disabled the on-board BT controller on the laptop and retested the connection with the Bluetooth audio receiver and everything worked perfectly. Solved my problem and I recommend this if you need additional and updated Bluetooth connectivity.
None of them worked at all until this one. It at least works but not fully.
So my keyboard (Keychron K10) works. My Mouse (Logitech does not) won't connect. My Airpods work but Continuity (using iPhone as a WebCam) does not.
Will continue to test the audio to see if it's better (the range has been the problem). I can get around the mouse issue and I don't need the webcam that often. But if the audio isn't any better I'll probably ditch it.

Erst wollte ich es zur Reparatur bringen , dann habe ich diesen Dongle entdeckt der einzige für Apple.
Laut der Beschreibung online muss man selbst was installieren das kann ich nicht bestätigen.
Bei mir war es Plug and Play nach 50 Sekunden leuchte oben wieder das Bluetooth Zeichen und alles funktioniert einwandfrei , Airdrop , Kopfhörer etc.
Als Betriebssystem habe ich Catalina drauf.
