d620osx Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 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.

d620osx Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 iFire, Thank you, a silly question how do I find the name of one or should I be looking at the chip sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacUser2525 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 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. http://www.amazon.ca/IOGEAR-Bluetooth-Micro-Adapter-GBU521/dp/B007GFX0PY/?tag=ca-skim0x97095-20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drule Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d620osx Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 Not had any issues with the one I ordered. Works well with the magic mouse and wireless keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
