Rated 5 out of 5

Need USB-C version

Very easy to use as long as you have a USB-A port. This product would be much better if it was a USB-C since a lot of the products I use now no longer have a USB-A port.

Super easy to use

Super easy to use! Just like any Bluetooth adapter, it works great! I appreciate the start guide that it came with and the radiation exposure warnings for those who may not know

Great product

My husband uses this to play video games on his PC and he gives it a five-star. It allows him to use his controller to play games on his PC and he's like a kid in a candy store.
