Do I have to use the adapter? I have a Dell Venue Tablet, which has bluetooth, so I don't want to have to use the adapter.

Virtually all laptops have Bluetooth, yet the adapter allows the mouse to work. The adapter is very small and I never need to remove it. It does take a USB slot, however. So, yes, as far as I know you need it.

Yes/No. It has bluetooth capabilities but you need to purchase the adapter seperately.

I actually own this computer and it does in fact have bluetooth without the need to buy any ''adapters''. I have my windows phone connected to it right now!

As far as I know, there is no way to do that. It doesn't have a usb port that you could connect an adapter to. I don't know of anything off the top of my head that could convert this to Bluetooth.

No. The Asus Bluetooth adapter plugs into your computer. It's meant for computers that don't have Bluetooth installed. Most laptops and all Apple computers do have Bluetooth built in. You have to install included driver software to access the Bluetooth device. At one time some printer models had Bluetooth connectivity. Now most use WiFi wireless networking. WiFi covers a greater distance than Bluetooth which is effective over a distance of only about 30 feet (10 meters).

If your computer has blue tooth you can connect to it just like a phone or tablet, however most computers "do not have" blue tooth. I have a usb bluetooth adapter that I use. I would be hesitant to recommend a particular device since I really don't know which are good. If you search for "usb" "bluetooth" "adapter" "dongle" you will find several for under 20 dollars.

You would need the optional bluetooth adapter in order to do that, it can't do that through the network interface

If you have an SD slot, just format and use it with your tablet. My husband plugs it into out laptop with no problems.

In addition to the OTG solution mentioned, you can also use a Bluetooth keyboard without any cables or adapters. (edit: after I typed this, I noticed that C. Carmona already added that info to the original answer via a comment. I'm leaving this answer in case someone doesn't notice the comment and read it).

Absolutely - this device adds Bluetooth to a PC that lacks that capability. In most cases you will need to use the included drivers disk to install the adapter. That's my only criticism...not 100% plug n play.

You shouldn't need any adapters. All you do is set your iPad on the dock and voila. I'll be honest though. I stopped using it because it's not as practical as it looks. I just bought the Google Chromecast and it's by far a better product.

This blue tooth adapter can come broken, remove the old driver and reinstall. If that doesn't work, I would suggest that you return and buy a different adapter.

Well, I have an Acer A300 Tablet and it has Bluetooth and the Dell mouse works great for me. So I would assume your Bluetooth will be able to find it when it does a search for any Bluetooth devices.

I use this device to connect my tablet and my Windows 7 PC to my Yamaha Receiver through Bluetooth. It works fine using these devices. I have not tried it with a Bluetooth headphones

Yes, works fine with Dell Venue 8 (Android) and SNES9x through and OTG adapter. Sometimes it gets disconnected but unplug/replug works, maybe it's because of the adapter.

It will simply not work. It is not a Bluetooth adaptor thus you cannot pair or utilize it with any other Bluetooth devices because it lacks Bluetooth. It is a wireless receiver that will work with either Logitech™, Dell™, or any other compatible wireless mouse or keyboard that utilizes the wireless receiver.

Wifi and bluetooth are not the same. So you will need the Bluetooth adapter for this speaker.
