Enjoy the convenience of wireless Bluetooth peripherals such as keyboards, mice, and speakers on your Windows or Linux computer with the Xcellon Bluetooth 5.0 USB Adapter . Plugging this adapter into your computer's available USB port frees you from getting tangled up in cables or snagging them on your hands and furniture when moving around. Instead of being tethered to your computer, you can get up and walk around with a range of up to 65.6' while listening to music or talking on a call with your wireless headset. Bluetooth 5.0 offers twice the speed and quadruple the range of previous Bluetooth versions, helping to maintain strong connections with compatible devices. It also helps to conserve battery life by automatically identifying low-energy devices such as thermostats, security cameras, and fitness watches and using only the necessary amount of power to communicate with them. You can keep track of the adapter's operation with the integrated LED indicator. With its compact size, the adapter can be left plugged into your computer at all times. Or you can easily slip it into your pocket or put it on a keychain using the integrated loop when traveling.
