Warning: Manufacturer's Product Description is Wrong, January 9, 2007
By user (Rochester, MN USA)
The latest hardware revision (C1) of the DBT-120 no longer supports the WidComm drivers that are specifically named in this product's description. If your application requires that driver, as the Lego Mindstorms NXT does, this adapter will NOT work.

Works perfectly on my Mac, January 5, 2007
By user (Farmington Hills, MI United States)
I've been using my D-Link DBT-120 to sync my Motorola phone and Palm Pilot over Bluetooth for a couple of months now, and haven't had any problems. I don't remember having to do any sort of driver update. Running MacOS 10.4.8 on a PowerMac G5.

Bluetooth failure, January 4, 2007
By user (Honolulu)
I was unable to get the adapter to work on my desk top computer. My cell phone has Bluetooth. My first attempt to follow the download directions was unsuccessful; my fault. I tryed to remove all of the software, but gave up after several efforts. My two calls to D-link were long, with the emphasis on my removing the software and trying again (in other words, nothing I did not already know). Eventually, the tech guy said he would have to consult with his supervisor and that I should call back. I have given up, I now email the photos to myself from my cell phone.

Mac users, note your OS X number., December 30, 2006
By user (usa)
This item could be 5 starts, could be none, no way for me to tell since the product I was sent is a different version than what is listed here. Like a previous purchaser who has Mac OS X 10.3.9 like I do, Specs here say you need 10.2 or higher, but the actual package that was sent says you need 10.4.3 or higher. It also says you require a 1.1 USB, but the package title is 2.0 USB. I don't know if that matters. Color is orange, not blue.

Not so perfect, but..., December 27, 2006
By user (Novato, CA United States)
I recently purchased the DBT-120 so I could run an Apple Wireless keyboard and mouse. I have a non-Intel Dual G5 and currently D-Link is selling the revC version of the adaptor and the adaptor's firmware does not support the ability to wake your computer from Sleep mode with the wireless mouse or keyboard. Apparently the older revB models has this ability. Apple's support website still only speaks to updating the firmware for the revB version.
Otherwise, it works like a charm. The solution for the problem above, is to unplug and plug the adaptor back in to the USB slot. You could continue to do this until D-Link decides to update its firmware.

Worked better then I expected, December 21, 2006
By user (New York City)
I recently got a bluetooth headset, the Plantronics 510, to use with Skype. The description of this D-Link adapter said it was bluetooth 1.x only, but the unit I got was a newer version that was bluetooth version 2.0. It's worked just fine on every Mac I've tried it with, plug and play. Plug it in, it works. No problem.

I plugged it into my mac, and it worked. not much more to say... it's a little ugly though, but whatever.
I didn't test it on my PC.

WRONG SPECS FOR MAC - NEEDS OSX - 10.4.3 OR HIGHER, December 16, 2006
By user
I checked the specs prior to ordering, and this should have worked - said it needed Mac OS 10.2 or higher. I have 10.3.9. Got exactly what I ordered, however the specs on the package state Mac OS 10.4.3 or higher required. Will not work on my system. What a waste of time.

Embarrassing Customer Support - does not support iMac sleep, December 15, 2006
By user (Sacramento, CA USA)
Just received this device and installed it - works well when my iMac DUO is running but will not wake the computer from sleep. Option box for Bluetooth is grayed out. Seems simple enough until you try to get help from DLINK. After minutes on hold, I was transferred overseas to an apathetic agent with broken English who had little to no experience with MAC Tiger. Read me FAQ's and then told me Apple had to change their program settings to work with their adapter. If this wasn't good enough - then return the product. Sorry attempt at support - won't be considering DLINK for any future equipment needs.

I'm disappointed, December 10, 2006
By user (Venezuela)
I bought my D-link Bluetooth 4 months ago and I had only used it two times when it was damage, I can't understand why it stop working suddenly if I used it right, so I'm writing you just for asking about how can you help me to change it by another one in good conditions.
Thank you
Merry Christmas

DBT-120 for Non Savvy Computer Users, December 1, 2006
By user (Boston,MA USA)
D Link DBT-120 Bluetooth software does not have Digital Certification from Microsoft therefore it does not work without user manipulation. Each time I have used the product I have to go thru the entire sequence again in order to send and receive files. Trust me...go for another bluetooth device, even if you have to pay a lil bit more, which has Microsoft digital signature to ensure compatibility and true versatitlity of the product.

Just Say No, December 1, 2006
By user
From the reviews, it looks like MAC users have better luck with this than Windows users. I tried to install on Windows XP and it never worked. Just say no.

Software it could be a problem, November 23, 2006
By user (Santiago, Chile)
It's an excelent bluetooth conexion device, it really works, and it's good. little problem is that software is not 100% compatible with windows XP, but there's not a mayor problem, because it works as a plug and play device.[...]

D-Link DBT Is So-So At Best, November 11, 2006
By user (Auburn, CA)
Well the data transfer rate is horrendously slow, the client installer is confusing, and the included transfer utility is clunky and riddled with bugs. Much work needs to be done with this product, sadly as of right now it is probably the best on the market.

D-link DBT-1-120 Bluetooth USB Adaptor, November 4, 2006
By user (USA)
I find this item very easy to use and for the price. I do recommend this item to anyone looking for a Bluetooth link up from mobile phone to computer.

D-Link DBT-120 Bluetooth USB Adapter, PC/Mac, November 3, 2006
By user (Pensacola, FL United States)
Bought this adapter to add Bluetooth to an older iBook G3. No problems whatsoever. Plugged it in and it paired with my Bluetooth mouse immediately. The only thing I'd like to see improved is the size of the dongle. It's smaller than many, but still protrudes from the side of the iBook.
