So far I've had several opportunities to use the "Nano" sized adapter. It has always worked reliably, and using it with several devices at the same time was not a problem.

tp-link UB400 nano adapter for Bluetooth 4.0
On my desktop PC with Windows 10, I use a wide variety of devices for input and output. For example, a graphics tablet is used for digital drawing. Furthermore, the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller for video games. If not via headphones, I let the audio output via a Bluetooth speaker. Much of this is done, even in parallel, by the small USB stick tp-link UB400 is possible.
So if there is no Bluetooth on the computer by default and you cannot activate the wireless standard via Settings -> Devices -> Bluetooth, then you change that with this product; currently even for less than 10 euros. The Nano USB adapter should even work on the PlayStation 4, but I personally only use it on the PC. It is compatible with Windows XP, 7, 8, 8.1 and 10.

Plug & Play Bluetooth stick - plug it in and forget it
I personally plugged the tp-link UB400 into a USB port on the back of my computer. So I leave the USB ports on the front free and still benefit from good reception that extends through the entire room. So far, I have not noticed any failures or other problems, which is why I definitely recommend the adapter that comes with a 3-year guarantee.
The only disadvantage, it must be said in an Apple blog, is that the Bluetooth adapter for the USB-A connection is only made for use with Windows. But that doesn't matter because the Apple Mac - whether iMac, MacBook or Mac mini - has Bluetooth as standard. And even if the module is messing around there, you can try a few things to solve: Bluetooth problems on the Mac? These tips will help you!

It works, thank you very much
Incidentally, it also works wonderfully on my MacBook Pro (early 2015) and at least on MacOS Big Sur. The UB400 successfully restored me to Bluetooth due to a hardware issue. Still a good pick a year after this article.
