The TP-Link UB500 adds Bluetooth wireless connectivity to a Windows computer through a USB port. Use it to listen through compatible wireless headphones, work with a Bluetooth keyboard or mouse, or connect a supported game controller without replacing internal PC components.

Important limitations
Rated range is measured in laboratory open-space conditions; walls, obstacles and interference reduce it. This is not a Wi-Fi adapter or a standalone TV/car audio transmitter. Support for macOS, Linux or game consoles is not claimed. This listing specifies Bluetooth 5.0, not the newer 5.3/5.4 variants.
