BT handoff compatible

Hello
i need to buy a new bluetooth 4.0 dongle. Actually i'm on 10.9.4 yet but can you suggest me a 4.0 BT dongle compatible with Handoff features of yosemite? Thanks!

Handoff is a feature available in OS X Yosemite and it only seems to work at the moment on real Macs with built-in Bluetooth, so there is no info yet on 3rd party Bluetooth solutions that work in the same way. OS X Yosemite is still in beta, so that's all that can be said at this time.

ok but if i buy a BCM94360CD (Wifi + BT card present in apple macs 2013) with a Mini-PCIE to PCIE adapter, it will definitely work?

No. The mini PCIE adapter must have USB for BT.

so i need a Mini-PCIE to USB adapter?

just to know, why PCIE will wouldn't work?

The USB connection powers the BT component afaik.
My native BT adapter is PCIe and USB connected. Haven't tested Yosemite but I suspect it'll work a treat.
Latest part in iMacs.

are you using a BCM94360CD card? can you show me which pcie/usb adapter are you using?

any news about compatible card with handoff feature?

Though normal dongles don't seem to work, this might as it contains a BCM20702 combined wifi/BT card from Apple but just has the BT portion connected. So if you already have a good supported wifi "n" or higher then maybe this might work…….in combination to give all the features of handoff etc. Perhaps a reasonable solution for laptops or mini ITX builds where a full card adapter to convert the whole of the Apple combo card interface would not fit.
Don't take this as me saying that it will work however, as I haven't seen any evidence yet to say that and it is possible that Apple may only allow handoff where BT via USB is "built-in", but as some of the solutions that do work with the combo cards seem to rely on routing the BT part via a separate USB port then I think this at least deserves considering as a possible work around.

It works perfectly with a BCM94360CD 802.11ac mini PCI-E WLAN+Bluetooth 4.0 card.

I have a video here showing that it does- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXnvEPhradI
