7 ms latency on average
I wanted to connect my Yamaha YDP-163B digital piano to Pianoteq, but had to go through a floor to make it work. Bluetooth MIDI to the rescue, I thought, and found the CME WIDI devices and bought an Uhost and Bud Pro, plus the USB-B OTG Cable Pack I.
The setup is easy, and overall it works as expected. The Bud Pro pairs automatically with the Uhost. It also pairs fine with my Linux computer, and I get Bluetooth-MIDI that way too.
Latency wise, I carefully measured this programmatically and found that the latency between the Bud Pro and Uhost is 7 ms, with a range of 3 to 11 ms. In other words the "3 ms" advertisement figure is the minimum and there will always be some jitter.
I also measured between the Bud Pro and my computer which has Bluetooth 5.2. The results are pretty much the same there: 6-8 ms on average, and the same jitter.
There is no way around these latency figures with Bluetooth versions before 6.2 because the minimum "connection interval" is 7.5 ms in the spec. Without any other factors, the average latency should have been half of that, so around 3.75 ms. But there is clearly some inherent latency in the Bluetooth processing that pushes the average up by around 4-5 milliseconds.
The newly released Bluetooth 6.2 spec allows reduction of this interval, so even lower latency will have to wait for that spec to make it into devices.

Excellent Reliable Product.
Important to update to the last Firmware and install Korg BLE Driver.
Tested in Combination with PC DAWs (Windows 10), Yamaha Motif XS + Yamaha MD-BT01, IOS apps.
Easy configurable in DAWs, indeed low latency.
Perfect Combination for non-BLE Synths, like Yamaha Motif XS (+ Yamaha MD-BT01). Automatic CME WIDI Bud Pro <-> Yamaha MD-BT01 Interaction.
Real 16 MIDI Channels. Still no Problems.

Works perfectly
It's genuinely 'plug and play' and it works with my Mac beautifully.

Reliable, easy to set up.
I got this for use with the WIDI Uhost, another Bluetooth MIDI interface from CME. The setup was pretty straight forward, using the WIDI iOS app from CME. They pair automatically. Just remember to turn off Bluetooth on your phone when you want them to pair to each other. Otherwise they will have a tendency to pair with the phone instead. (It is stated in the WIDI App user manual, but as I managed to overlook it at first I figure others could use a heads up). I've since added a WIDI Master Bluetooth MIDI interface for use with my FCB1010. It all works flawlessly.

Flawless bluetooth midi
This little device works likes charm. Latency is minimal and works without much fuss. The price is very reasonable too. Overall I’m very satisfied. I’m using it with my Ableton move to sequence from IOS apps and works great.
