Mine arrived today too! It's on the shelf for now until I get a more powerful USB hub though. The dongle kept switching on and off when I plugged it into my current one, so I figured it was drawing more power than was available.

I just chunked mine into one of the top ports on my case, where it looks ridiculous. It's right next to the receiver for my Manba gamepad, which looks equally ridiculous. One thing I can say about my case is apparently it's a rather effective Faraday cage, and if I want anything wireless to reach the living room I can't plug those devices into the back anyhow.

It's just as well. As a certified Power User, my motherboard's rear ports are... full.

Yeah, the dongle is way chonkier than I was expecting. My USB hub used to be dominated by a 1 inch Turtle Beach headset adapter, which towered over my wireless mouse and keyboard adapters. Then along came the Steam Frame adapter, and now my Turtlr Beach adapter has a complex 🤣

Weirdly enough, my Bluetooth signal reaches all the way from my PC in my office to my living room (~15 feet, across two walls), but all my dongles give up as soon as I leave the room.
