Hi guys,

Is there any way i can get my bluetooth keyboard working so i can choose the desired OS on the bootloader screen?

Atm i can't use my keyboard/mouse until i actually log into the Mac OS. It works perfectly fine except i just want i to work in the bootloader screen so i have an OS to choose from.

Thanks
 
Is there by chance an adapter alternative that i can use instead?

I don't think so. I am not an expert, but there may be a few people that have had some success, but I believe it is totally hit or miss and probably depends on a very specific HW configuration. Otherwise there would be more widely known and many people (me included) would be using it.

From what I have gathered only the PCIE card works and also works natively with no kexts, etc. I am going to get one eventually. It also is the only way to get Handoff working too.
 
I bought my BCM94360CD PCI-E card from Amazon, shipped from China, cost around $60. I get native bluetooth (and wi-fi) support from OSX and I can use my Apple bluetooth keyboard with my BIOS and Clover Bootloader on GA-z97x-ud3h. You have to pair keyboard in OSX first and it stores pairing onto the BCM94360CD with HID Proxy. Bluetooth plugs into a USB header on your motherboard from the card.
