Bluetake BT510 Bluetooth Mouse and BT009Si Bluetooth Adapter

Introduction

Bluetake has been on the forefront of Bluetooth technology since its inception in 2001. In that time, Bluetake has successfully brought many Bluetooth-enabled products to market. Today, we'll be looking at two of them; the BT510 Bluetooth Mini Mouse and the BT009Si Bluetooth USB Adapter. I'd like to thank the fine folks at Bluetake for providing the samples used in this review.

The BT009Si Adapter

The BT009Si Bluetooth USB Bluetooth Adapter is about the size of a small USB flash drive. It has a blue LED that flashes when it is getting power, so you'll know it's working just by looking at it. ;-)
