    • Question: do i need drivers for this 2 work? because after a while my usb prudoct dis disconnect and reconnect
    Answer: Thank you for your inquiry. Since it is fully transparent, this item should not require any drivers to operate. We are not sure why it would drop the connection after a while. As this is a bus powered unit, it might be some kind of power issue. the receiver can supply up to 500mA to the connected devices. You might try attaching a powered USB hub at the receiver end to see if that helps.
