1st glance.. I'm Not sure about several things..
Many of these review comments are somewhat dated, so I question the applicability to what I just got in late JAN 2022. I notice some reviews and MFR replies answer BLE questions.. I'm 99% sure mine is an nRF24L01 ( not a Plus version) only.. with a new External antenna jack.. I don't know yet and have asked for the github link specific to this variant of their module, the type antenna recommended and the RF connector type needed, do I need to disable the ONBOARD Antenna?? a data sheet applicable to this unit and some sample code would help. I hope to get a reply back from Keywish with this info.. so far I got a blink sketch to load and it runs but am not able to do much more with out some answers to these questions.. can anyone tell me if this has a nRF24L01 + chip?

Test many, all good
What’s up with the price hike? I won’t be buying again, it’s not worth the current $29.

Must Have For NRF24 Communications
I struggled for days hooking up RF24 modules to arduinos, oh yes got them to work, but then how do you package them in a waterproof container and route the antenna externally, you cant!Dont waste your time and headaches, get this. Note it comes with an antenna connector and using an ipx to sma cable you can route your antenna anywhere you choose, any 2.5G antenna will work.EXCELLENT INNOVATIVE PRODUCT!!!!

Great price
Love it, honestly I would totally love it if you guys sold an unsoldered version, would make some projects waaaaay easier but none the less I loved it

Better than I expected!
I have been looking into Adruino devices for a while now and finally pulled the trigger on this one. I installed the Arduino IDE, set the Board, Processor, and COM port settings, and connected one of the RF-Nanos with the included USB cable. Uploaded the basic LED Blink sketch, and off it went! Worked perfectly as expected. Satisfied with that, I installed the RF24 library by TMRh20. Using one of the included examples I had the 2 Nanos communicating flawlessly between rooms. As mentioned in another review CE is at pin 10 and CSN is at pin 9, so when creating an instance in code you use: RF24 radio(10,9);Some have been saying they didn't receive the + version. I did, as can be seen in the screenshot I attached to this review. The output from radio.printDetails() shows Model = nRF24L01+Now I'm off to buy some sensors and other goodies!

Does Work
Posted an earlier review that this didn't work. Since discovered I had a bad USB cable. Both units seem to work fine after all. Only 4 stars instead of 5 though because they chose to remove the label on the USB serial driver IC forcing users like us to guess at what driver to use.

SHIPPED ON TIME AND GREAT PRODUCT CONCEPT
i HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS PRODUCT AT FIRST BUT THE COMPANY QUICKLY SENT ME THE NEEDED DRIVER TO LINK WITH ARDUINO IDE. THIS PART NEEDS THE CH340 DRIVER. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO USING THIS PRODUCT.

Terrible...
Pretty much what every other (negative) review explained, is the case. Unable to establish basic tx/rx communication. Extremely tricky custom USB driver that doesn't install well; also hijacks multiple Arduino port interface and simply mirrors the units on one port. Does not work (as far as I can tell) with the famous TMRh20 RF24 library; there are publications on the web using the mirf library but I couldn't get that going either. I will be returning remainder of multi-unit order and returning to known Arduino boards with the NRF radio as a tethered element. I would challenge the seller to publish working tx/rx code to dispute or confirm what all other reviews (negative or positive) are saying about the unit.
