Pros & Cons
Pros
The bluetooth signal seems quite good. Occasionally there is a slight hiccup with the sound.
The trendmicro dongle works absolutely 100% with all dualshock 3 ps3 controllers. Works great for an htpc setup using 'ps3blumote' software and logitech smart control hub. I bought this specifically for my ps3 controller and it works perfectly.
Strongly recommended. I have been impressed with trendnet in the past couple of years. Performance is acceptable.

Price
To cheap to bother to send back.
Shipping
But it shipped quickly and i got my money back just as quick.
Competitiveness
I'm guessing the makers of this dongle built this for the main to connect the ps3 controller since it connected to well with th... Read More
I would have liked a little better range, but i am in an area of many competing radio frequencies.
To me that is better than having to find the manual online somewhere.
