Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to install drivers?
On Windows 11 and 10, no drivers are needed. On Windows 8.1 or 7, you may need to install the driver from TP-Link.
Does it work on Mac?
No. It is made for Windows PCs. Macs already have Bluetooth built in.
Can I connect more than one device?
Yes. You can pair several devices at once. Performance may drop if many devices are active at the same time.
Will it work with my PS5 or Xbox controller?
Yes, most Bluetooth game controllers work on Windows. Some controllers may need extra setup in Windows.
What is the range?
Range depends on walls and other devices. For best results, keep devices in the same room.
Should I remove my old Bluetooth first?
If your PC already has Bluetooth, turn it off in Device Manager. This stops the two from conflicting.
