I have the Asus (good) and various China sticks (which were all crap). The Microsoft Stick has a very low latency, small, USB cable directly to it, really good. And Windows 8 app to to adjust, update, etc. One of the few adapter that worked immediately. Is better than the external NOKIA / Microsoft adapter. Genuine recommendation, going from Windows Tablet, Windows Phone (go only certain devices, such as Lumia 930 or 1520!). Great device.
