These days, I feel we are at a very important crossroads from wired to wireless, but particularly in the case of charging, it feels like we’re getting used to the convenience of wireless as much as we are afraid to switch from wired to wireless charging. In addition to wireless charging, there is Wi-Fi and Bluetooth that can be connected wirelessly. For example, if a laptop supports Wi-Fi, it supports 100% Bluetooth.
But what if you want to use Wi-Fi or Bluetooth on the assembled computer? We just need to plug in a wireless dongle which we consider a USB port, but IPTime recently released a dongle that supports Bluetooth 5.0.
■ EFM dongle, ipTIME BT50XR (Bluetooth 5.0).
▲ Short specifications: Bluetooth dongle / 5.0 / Extended operation: 5.0 LE / RTL8761B / 3Mbps / Main terminal: USB type A / Maximum receiving distance: 50m / Supported profiles: HID, A2DP, Headset (HSP), BPP / 1 year / Color: Black white
True to the dongle name, it is quite small in size and smaller than a USB memory stick. If you see a Wi-Fi dongle of the same size, you can think of it as similar. The installation can be done by connecting it to the USB port of the computer you are using, but the thing to note is that if possible the black USB port is version 2.0, so it is better to connect it to a blue or other colored USB 3.0 if possible because it puts a low voltage.It can be used stably.

To use Bluetooth on an assembled computer, simply plug in this product introduced in today’s article and Windows 10 can recognize and use it. It is recommended that you download and install the BT50XR driver via Each operating system provides a separate driver, so download and install the appropriate driver for your operating system.
These two products, presented through today’s article, are released in two colors, black and white. If you are using a white or gray case among assembled computers, it would be best to buy a white model.
In recent years, Bluetooth, especially gaming headsets and smartphone headsets are becoming more and more diverse. In particular, if you are using fully wireless earbuds in your smartphone and want to actively use them on your computer, it would be good to try using IPTime’s Bluetooth 5.0 BT50XR dongle.
