The Conceptronic ABBY17B is a long-range Bluetooth 5.3 USB adapter with a 4 dBi external antenna that reaches up to 100 m in open areas, compatible with Windows PCs and built to keep wireless peripherals connected without dropouts.
Its Bluetooth 5.3 radio with EDR (Class 1) cuts interference in the crowded 2.4 GHz band and improves stability over conventional nano adapters. The rotatable high-gain antenna extends coverage, which helps when the PC of your racing simulator sits away from your headset, wheel or keyboard.
