wywywywy Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Hi all, I've got JaS 10.4.8 pretty much setup (well its dead at the moment, but I am determined to fix it). And I would like to use a genuine Apple set of wireless keyboard & mouse. I've bought the keyboard and mouse already, but I am not sure which Bluetooth dongle should I go for. The reason is, I suspect a lot of those on the market won't work due to the lack of driver. So can anyone recommend a Bluetooth USB dongle that definitely works with hackintosh please? Ideally one with the same chipset as used in a genuine Mac machine. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheeplover Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 You can go for the DLink DBT-120 and the realated apple firmware. Some BT-Modules that apple used were identical to this USB-Dongle and Apple provides a firmware for it in its download section. Once patched it can't be used under Windows but shows up as "internal BT" on your Mac or Hack. ==EDIT== Here's the link to the firmware foound in my signature as well. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wywywywy Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 Thank you! Exactly what I was looking for! But, does the firmware only work with DBT-120? Because there isn't any DBT-120 available on eBay UK Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaYnT Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Has anyone tried flashing the DBT-122 with the apple firmware? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wywywywy Posted April 3, 2008 Author Share Posted April 3, 2008 Yes I tried. Flashing doesn't work. Can still be used as a normal Bluetooth dongle though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJMclean Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Yes I tried. Flashing doesn't work.Can still be used as a normal Bluetooth dongle though. Does that mean it'll work with most bluetooth products? Like maybe a logitech mouse, Mobile phones etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
