Is this bluetooth or is it proprietary? My laptop already has a "unifying" receiver, called bluetooth. I don't need another.

No. It has a mini receiver that works for both the mouse and keyboard. If you have a spare USB port, it works great.

This device communicates via Bluetooth, which is a brand-name wireless standard. Your laptop must be Bluetooth capable, or you must purchase a Bluetooth adapter if your laptop does not have one built in.

This is a receiver. However this name makes a bluetooth transmitter too. I have both that synch well to each other.

No this Bluetooth adapter will not work with this receiver. This adapter is plugged into a PC or Laptop. Then after loading the drivers, a Bluetooth device will connect to the laptop or PC

You can take a look here: http://bluetoothinstaller.com/They provide a way to make this and other generic dongles work with the built in Microsoft driver.

So this is compatible with laptops that have integrated bluetooth without the need of the little usb adapter included?

My Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 68852BU is setup with Bluetooth. I have only used it to listen to music from cell phone.

please post a review! I'm debating on whether to get this, not sure if it's the same as a regular old bluetooth adapter (which is much cheaper) and can't seem to find any information about it.

Thank you so much for your instructions and post on the msdn forums that linked back here. Why MSFT doesn't include native A2DP support in Windows 7 or any previous version of their OS is beyond me. Bluetooth is not really a 'new' technology anymore! Thanks again, TJ!-sent from a software engineer happily listening to Pandora via my HBS700 headset on my Lenovo T420

No. This bluetooth receiver is seen as an audio device by your computer, and the chip itself handles the bluetooth connection. This feature is what ensures a reliable connection between your headset and your computer. Many generic bluetooth receivers have difficulty handling headset audio and are often subject to dropped connections or spotty audio. You cannot use this device to connect to bluetooth devices other than compatable Plantronics headsets.

it's not bluetooth or wifi capable. the plugin is bigger than the plug in for a little set of headphones that plug into your computer.

Actual I bought this for my uncle and he uses the given cables...so to be honest I haven't seen anything about bluetooth or maybe looked over it..

It works great with Windows 7, I use that same setup with two computers and the Bluetooth receiver, no issues.

this is not a bluetooth device. i use a wireless usb transmitter attached to my computer. the sound is good; however, i think the wired version should be considered by you. the reason i am saying this is that the wireless version is loaded with wires and cables.

That's how I transfer mine. It's a little awkward (I'd much rather use the Bluetooth, if only my PC had that feature); but it works.

Would love to have this know the answer to this as well. In the interim, I bought one of those toshiba usb adapters http://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=en&source;=hp&q;=usb+bluetooth+adapter+toshiba&oq;=&gs;_rfai=&um;=1&ie;=UTF-8&cid;=10279719605232388935&ei;=mpCnS4jFEZOgswPCleXZAw&sa;=X&oi;=product_catalog_result&ct;=result&resnum;=3&ved;=0CBoQ8wIwAg#ps-sellers

This bluetooth mouse only requires your laptop to have bluetooth capability. However, I found this to be an unworkable solution as it would not connect to my Windows 7 computer. So maybe you might wanna try one of the more reputable mice. Pay a bit more for the reliability. That solution worked for me.
