Don't use in a metal case
I know it sounds like a "well duh", but this dongle will not work if your USB port is surrounded in metal.
Since my Laptop has a mostly metal case, this essentially ruins the range of the dongle, turning what should be 10-meter range to half-meter range (if you're lucky). It works mostly OK if you have it on the end of a USB extender cable, but that completely defeats the point of a "low profile" device.
The device is out-of-the-box compatible with Windows 8+ at least.
Devices I tested against this are a standard BlueTooth 2.0 Mouse, and a Bluetooth Audio Sync.
While both paired (eventually), connection was sporadic at best, and nonfunctional at worst at any distance away from the dongle, completely ruining the intent of wireless communications.
All in all, I give this a solid "Meh".
