Review: Awesome - Great product look forward to buying another one Review: Great Potential, Difficult for Non-Programmers - It take me 2 days to program this usb from scratch and understand the memory so : IYou might get value if you: Are willing to learn embedded programming / firmware building (C/C++, SDKs, flashing tools) and want a cheap entry to IoT / mesh / wireless projects. Are comfortable with occasional hardware tinkering (maybe soldering, debugging with J-Link or SWD) β€” or are willing to get such tools. Intend to run or use community / third-party firmware that’s already built for nRF52840 dongles (e.g. Thread/Zigbee gateways, custom BLE devices), so you don’t need to write code from scratch. ## Features - Nordic nRF52840 Solution Type C Dongle - Open Bootloader pre-loaded for easy firmware development - User Manual of MDBT50Q-CX (nRF52840/nRF52833-based USB-C Dongle) avaiable - Compact size with 26.2 x 15.1 x 6.8 mm (1.03 x 0.59 x 0.26 in) - Supports Zephyr RTOS - 32-bit ARM Cortex M4F CPU with 1MB Flash Memory / 256kB RAM - Bluetooth BT5.4 , FCC/IC/CE/Telec/KC/SRRC/NCC/RCM Pre-certified - A recommended 3rd-party module by Nordic Semiconductor - Deployed Raytac MDBT50Q-P1M Module ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0DP6MVDZQ | | Best Sellers Rank | #59 in Bluetooth Network Adapters | | Brand | Raytac | | Built-In Media | MDBT50Q-CX-40 Dongle | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Desktop, Game Console, Headphone, Keyboard, Laptop, Mouse, Printer, Smartphone, Tablet, Webcam | | Compatible Operating System Family | Windows | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 14 Reviews | | Data Link Protocol | Bluetooth | | Hardware Interface | USB 3.0 Type C | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 1.03"L x 0.59"W x 0.26"H | | Item Weight | 2.99 Grams | | Manufacturer | Raytac Corporation | | Mfr Part Number | MDBT50Q-P512K | | Minimum Required Operating System Version | Mac OS 12 Monterey, Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa, Windows 10 | | Model Number | MDBT50Q-512K | | Product Dimensions | 1.03"L x 0.59"W x 0.26"H | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Raytac - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Desktop, Game Console, Headphone, Keyboard, Laptop, Mouse, Printer, Smartphone, Tablet, Webcam - **Compatible Operating System Family:** Windows - **Data Link Protocol:** Bluetooth - **Hardware Interface:** USB 3.0 Type C - **Item Weight:** 2.99 Grams - **Number of Packs:** 1 - **Product Dimensions:** 1.03"L x 0.59"W x 0.26"H - **Unit Count:** 1.0 Count ## Images ![MDBT50Q-CX Nordic nRF52840 Dongle Development Kit for Bluetooth Zigbee Thread (USB Type C/Open Bootloader Pre-Loaded) BT5.4 FCC IC CE Pre-Certified - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61CSNg-fDoL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome *by Z***A on June 3, 2026* Great product look forward to buying another one ### ⭐⭐⭐ Great Potential, Difficult for Non-Programmers *by Y***H on December 5, 2025* It take me 2 days to program this usb from scratch and understand the memory so : IYou might get value if you: Are willing to learn embedded programming / firmware building (C/C++, SDKs, flashing tools) and want a cheap entry to IoT / mesh / wireless projects.

It's easy to install. It's very durable. It was super affordable. It doesn't draw too much heat and I haven't had any point where it was like. Got unstable wattage where it could cause issues I think it's awesome --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/684683984-mdbt50q-cx-nordic-nrf52840-dongle-development-kit-for-bluetooth-zigbee](https://www.desertcart.be/products/684683984-mdbt50q-cx-nordic-nrf52840-dongle-development-kit-for-bluetooth-zigbee) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-07-03*
