Recommendation for Bluetooth Dongle To Use With nRF Connect and Mobile App Development Environment on Windows 10

[mlyonupdesigns]

Doing some mobile app development using QT environment on Windows 10 and would like to debug using Bluetooth LE. Can anyone recommend Bluetooth dongles that would work with both nRF Connect and the development environment to connect with Bluetooth LE device? Does Nordic offer something?

We have the nRF52840 Dongle (infocenter), which can use be used with the nRF5 SDK. The dongle does not contain any onboard debuggers, and you would need an external debugger to program it directly or to debug it. However, you can program it using DFU and the nRF Connect Programmer app. Check out this tutorial for a more detailed explanation. It should be possible to use NCS as a development environment as well, I believe.
