As soon as you connect something for pairing, windows finds the driver and puts an icon on your desktop for any necessary configuring options applicable to the type of device connected, so you go to your desktop for one click connection & configuring options. I'm very content & happy to have this item.I am taking the opportunity to update this review after having had a unit apparently fail on me. I contacted the makers, who could not have been more helpful, with advice via e-mail. When their first sugestion didn't work. they immediately sent me a replacement post-haste. upon fitting the replacement unit, the light remained on until the drivers finished loading, and then went out. My attempts to see what I could find out from Microsoft, and other user forums revealed that Microsoft do not appear to care if you have problems with your hardware, just upgrade to the latest windows and all your problems will be solved. yeah, right...... Back to the manufacturers, who sent right back a further e-mail suggestion, (basically, a full uninstall and re-install) which worked and the unit is sitting in its USB port working nicely. I have a sneaking suspicion that various windows and other third party driver updates may be playing a part in the fun & games. I was running the unit in a windows Vista PC, and could not find out anything specific about the registry settings relating to the Bluetooth software, but there are a number of very helpful websites out there who have what they claim to be the solution to a type 43 errorcode in windows (which is what windows was reporting to me as being the problem, but without any further explanation....)and offers you a free download to scan your system. Of course, the fix requires a licence for the sum of about $100.00 USD. Soooooo helpful, the yanks........ The bottom line, is that this little unit will give you great functionality, if you need it in a PC that does not have bluetooth already installed, and do so at a very acommodating price. I can also thoroughly recommend the manufacturers helpfulness if there's a problem. Review: Great, works like a charm - but if you have problems and also use USB3 please read this! - Great and works like a charm. I want to write this review though for a simple reason. Basically this device just like any other bluetooth usb adapter will suffer from interference from USB3 devices. I had no idea this was possible or existed but it does. Google the subject and you will get confirmation. It took me a long time to work this out and there isn't that much knowledge on this subject it seems so I thought its really worth confirming this here for others. What this means is that if you plug this adapter into the front of your computer and next to it have a usb3 socket and then sometimes plug something into that which works at usb3 speed (say just a simple usb flash memory stick) you will probably find that your devices powered by this usb bluetooth adapter suddenly degrade massively in performance. I use my adapter solely now for a quality MS mouse and it works 100% of the time until I plug a usb3 flash stick in next door to it. This problem is worst when the usb3 device is very close to the source transmitter of your bluetooth signal (ie this device). If you have a few ports on the front of a PC case or next to each other on a laptop obviosuly the problem is as worse as it can be as the devices are right next to each other. To get around the problem and to carry on using my fast usb3 flash stick without making my mouse inoperable I purchased a usb extension cable and now plug my bluetooth adapter into the end of that, about a meter away from the location on the front of the PC hidden behind my monitor where it used to reside. So to confirm, if you have this problem, the cause is an inherent issue between USB3 and bluetooth.

I.use linux...Mint 21.3 and MX 23.6 and had to go to usual rigmaroll of terminal.. sudo.. etc.. got there in the end ..fine but I had to use the space between my ears at a lot to beat it .. .... Windows probably plug and play .. but BT dongle was quickly delivered and well packed and it is working really great now. ## Frequently Bought Together - Kinivo USB Bluetooth Adapter for PC BTD400 (Bluetooth 4.0 Dongle Receiver, Low Energy) - Compatible with Windows 11/10/8.1/8, Raspberry Pi, Linux, Laptop & Headphones - Kinivo BTH220 Bluetooth Stereo Headphone – Supports Wireless Music Streaming and Hands-Free Calling - Kinivo BTH240 Bluetooth Headphones (Black, On-Ear, Wireless Music, Hands-Free Calling, Built-in Mic, Foldable, Travel Bag) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/50473746-kinivo-usb-bluetooth-adapter-for-pc-btd400-bluetooth-4-0](https://www.desertcart.at/products/50473746-kinivo-usb-bluetooth-adapter-for-pc-btd400-bluetooth-4-0) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-09-22*
