Bluetooth 5.3 Adapter for Windows

This GCROWN USB adapter adds Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity to desktop PCs and laptops running Windows 8.1, 10 or 11. It supports Dual Mode BR/EDR and Low Energy for headphones, keyboards, mice, speakers and printers. The tiny dongle stays inserted without blocking adjacent ports. No driver installation is required on supported systems.

Plug-and-Play for Windows 8.1 to 11

Buyers needing instant wireless peripheral support on modern Windows versions will find this a simple fit. It does not suit Mac, Linux, Chrome OS or older Windows releases. Users wanting Wi-Fi capability or audio-codec features beyond basic Bluetooth 5.3 should look elsewhere. The adapter cannot add Bluetooth to devices lacking a free USB-A port.

Maximum 3 Mbps at 20 metres

In open space the link tops out at 3 Mbps with a range of up to 66 feet (20 metres). Walls, furniture and other radio sources will reduce both throughput and distance. This single figure decides whether the adapter meets the bandwidth and coverage needs of the intended setup.
