Compact USB Bluetooth 5.3 adapter

The Orico BTA-53-BK-BP adds Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity to any PC or laptop through a standard USB-A port. It supports Windows XP, 7, 8.1, 10 and 11, with driver-free operation on 8.1 and later. A built-in antenna provides a clear line-of-sight range of up to 20 metres. The dongle also maintains backward compatibility with Bluetooth 2.0 devices.

Ideal for adding wireless audio to legacy desktops

This adapter suits users who want to connect headphones, speakers, keyboards or mice to a computer that lacks built-in Bluetooth. It works well for streaming music or taking calls within the same room. Buyers who need Wi-Fi capability or a smaller nano form factor should look at other products.

Bluetooth 5.3 with 20-metre range

The single specification that decides fit is the Bluetooth 5.3 radio combined with a 20-metre open-space range. If your use case requires longer distance or a different wireless standard, this model will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and does the adapter need any extra cables or drivers?

The box contains the USB-A Bluetooth 5.3 dongle only; no cables are required. Windows 8.1, 10 and 11 install the driver automatically, while Windows XP, 7 and 8 need a manual driver install.

Should I choose this Bluetooth 5.3 model or the older Bluetooth 2.0 version listed in the specs?

Choose the Bluetooth 5.3 version; it delivers the faster 5.3 +EDR performance, 20 m range and driver-free setup on Windows 8.1, 10 and 11, whereas the 2.0 entry is a legacy reference.

What does the 20 m range mean when the adapter is plugged into a desktop PC?

In open space the built-in antenna can maintain a link up to 20 m; walls, metal cases or interference will reduce the practical distance.
