I got one of these from Meritline before. it worked great for about a week, then just stopped working completely. I contacted them about a possible replacement/refund and never heard anything from them. I attempted to contact them multiple times and never once got a reply.

Beware when dealing with Meritline, the crap they sell will work half the time, and just contacting them is near impossible. At least, that was my experience.

I'll try it for a buck. I've had a need for one in the past and can't hurt to try it.

mines still works and I've had it for a couple of months

I bought a USB Bluetooth dongle from WalMart over 2 years ago, costing $20, which is the dongle I use. However, I have bought the Meritline bluetooth dongles every time I find them. I now have 4 of them at home, and after this one it will be 5... I never use them. ;-)

Grabbed a 10-pack at the $1.49 price point a few months back, carrying 2 in my pocket right now. At this price, get spares. I have one on my laptop, one on my desktop, and have given a couple away. Great for at-work use, but I dare not leave it plugged in! No bundled software; Windows and Linux use standard drivers.

I got one of these about a month ago. Been using it regularly and it still works fine.
I grabbed the Toshiba bluetooth stack to use with it, as I couldn't get it working with regular Windows 7 drivers.
In case anyone is considering picking one of these up for use with Dolphin or other game emulators, yes it works 100% with a real Wii Remote on Dolphin. I've also used it with my PS3 controller.

any reviews on this (maybe on Amazon)? I'd love to see real world experiences. Even though it is a buck, I'd hate to toss a buck down the drain when I can be using it for more useful things - like half a bottle of soda.

@chrisgame: Even after using the coupon code?

Just bought for the sale price, free shipping. Great deal; it's a wonder how they can do these kinds of things for such low prices.

@bsmith1: No, coupon still works. Still $.99 as of 1440 EST.

@tinkochu: Indeed, it is amazing what a mass load of Chinese child labor can do.

The coupon ins't working for me. They must have reached the 600 customer limit.
