I need a functional Bluetooth Adapter that really works!

So there is no Bluetooth adapter that really works 100% in Hackintosh?

 

The one I posted above has worked perfectly for everything I've used it for?   I don't know about Handoff as I've never tried that before.  If that's what you're referring to I could test it later, assuming my WiFi dongle works in macOS (I think handoff won't work with a wired connection; at least the help page says BlueTooth, WiFi and Handoff must all be enabled on both mac and iOS.)

 

EDIT:  Nah, the WiFi dongle I have to hand (Realtek chip) doesn't seem to work in macOS.  It shows up in About This Mac -> System Report but it doesn't make a new network available in Networks.    I've got another couple in the house somewhere, I might test again with one of those later.  I've never investigated getting WiFi on this Hack as it's a desktop and I'm always cabled.

Hi guys, 

I have struggled with problems with usb dongles that worked sometimes and others not, first I bough an Trust usb 18187 and it worked most of the time, but sometimes it disconnect, after that and after watching some videos I bought an Edup bluetooth and wifi adapter that don't work for me no matter what I tried... 

To make a long story short I finally bought and 

ABWB 802.11 ac Wi-Fi with Bluetooth 4.0 (PCI-Express PCI-E) bcm943602cs Combo and all my problems with bluetooth and wifi are solved, but the kexts BrcmPatchRAM2.kext and BrcmFirmwareData.kext are needed for personal hotspot with the iPhone and iMessage...

As the saying goes.....'There's no fool like an old fool' well today I definitely fit the bill. For years I've been using a cheapo Aula Ghost Shark Gaming Mouse and decide to change it after finding it was the culprit to my machine's flaky Sleep and Screen Saver problem. A few months back I treated my self to a Logitech MX keys for Mac keyboard and cannot fault it as it connects seamlessly between Mac and Windows so decided to get the Mouse to compliment the keyboard. Watched a few video reviews and learnt there is a new edition, the MX Master3 for Mac, the model before is reputed to work on both Windows and Mac but watched a video where the presenter said the new model also works on both Windows and Mac as well, the only difference he could find was the colour compliments the keyboard and I was sold. Well, it works in Mac ok but in Windows it will work for about two minutes and then freeze although still indicating connected to B/T. Another annoying thing, no mouse operation in the BIOS although the keyboard does which allows me to navigate around the BIOS, which gives me a lot of head scratching, how can the keyboard work in the BIOS and the Mouse does not? After my early Microsoft days with wireless keyboard and mouse, I vowed never to run these two on any future setup and yet here I am £90.00 poorer. Can't let the wife know because I told her it's the best thing since slice bread.:wallbash:

I had one of those too, and send it back to amazon, and was refunded, mine was a disaster, flaky, unreliable didn't work in bios... I didn't like ir at all, welcome back to Apple Magic Mouse 2, and I'll stay with it...

Yea mine is also on it's way back - does the Apple Magic Mouse 2 work in the BIOS? Like I said, it's crazy that the Logitech MX Keyboard works in the BIOS but not the Mouse. To be quite honest I have never found a wireless mouse that functions in the BIOS like a wired one.

 

PS - I just learnt why the Logitech Mx Keyboard can operate in the BIOS and the MX Master 3 Mouse does not. The keyboard is connected by a USB Receiver and the Mouse is connected by B/Tooth which is not available until machine is actually booted into the operating system which is a bummer.
