Digital camera reviews of Msi Star Key Bluetooth USB Dongle
Digital camera Review: Best Bluetooth dongle out there
Summary: 5 Stars
Had this dongle for about two weeks now, and hands down it is the best one I've used. I've went through quite a bit of these received over the past few years, mostly because of incompatibility issues. Most dongles out there rely on the WACOM stacks which are not very compatible with Microsoft. Especially in Vista, the old WACOM-based dongles cause all sorts of device recognition problems. There are ways to install a WACOM driver but it's a cumbersome process.
MSI dongle is one of the few in the market that use the built in Microsoft stacks. They are essentially inferior to WACOM but in terms of user friendliness, there's no other way to go. As a result, this BT dongle is a plug-n-play device. I own both XP and Vista computers and in either case, I didn't even need to use the driver CD included in the box. As soon as I plugged it in, the computer automatically recognized the dongle and installed the appropriate drivers. MSI easily makes up for the inferiority of the stacks by making their hardware better. This BT dongle really has "the" best range and speed of all the adapters in the market.
If you're looking for a BT dongle that is small and looks pretty, this is not the one for you. However, none of the other BT adapters will yield better connectivity and user friendliness than this one. Considering that far inferior BT dongles than this one are sold for higher prices, this is a great buy. I'm sure the performance you can get out of it will easily overrule the form factor.
