Hi

 

Please can anyone confirm which USB Bluetooth dongle works out of the box on 10.9 with the keyboard, mouse and trackpad and can be bought in the UK. I have seen various on amazon but some comments state that they work other state that they do not work on the same item.

 

Thank you for your help.

iFire,

 

Thank you, a silly question how do I find the name of one or should I be looking at the chip sets.

 

You always look at the chipset name means nothing to some of these slimy manufacturers they will change the chipset in a heartbeat to save 5 cents on a product, making your purchase useless if you need a certain chipset for support. That said this one is supposed to work OOB in 10.9 or later.

I ordered 6 dongles from different eBay sellers, totalling $12 shipping incl. Then just tried each one. This resulted in 4 working on my SL build, and 3 on my Mav build (of which one was the best for Magic Mouse).

 

So I suggest you just order a bunch, trying to make sure the vendors are shipping from different areas/countries.

 

TIP: When testing each one, make sure to remove the dongle and rebuild your kext cache, then shutdown before plugging in your next test dongle :)
