Bluetooth keyboard support in Clover/Bios

[Applementalist]

Hello ,

my first Hackintosh is working fine. One problem i have . I use an Magic Keyboard. When i want start Windows (Dual Boot) i can't chage the boot order at Clover boot screen .
From other threads i know to buy a BT adapter with HID proxy support .

Which adapter can i take ? . It should be Sierra compatible .

Is there a tool for OSX where i can press a button "restart and start Windows" ?

You may have already seen this (admittedly old) thread, but it may have some useful information for you:

Such a tool would have to control the Clover bootloader, so I don't think one exists. There is a tool called Quickboot that will change your boot device in BIOS to accomplish this, but it isn't Clover-aware.

Care to share ?
What was your solution. ?
I have a BCM943602cs card on PCI-e but cannot access BIOS/Clover via the apple keyboard & mouse.

I want to do this too with my BRCM94360CD

I would also be interested to know more about your solution, would you be so kind to share it with us? Thanks in advanced, I appreciate it.

I've just discovered an alternative way for Magic Keyboard 2. Many people don't know that if you connect it via lightning cable - it becomes a driverless wired keyboard, and it'll work in BIOS, Clover and anywhere else.
Combine it with a dual pairing solution from here, and you're good to go: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3113227

It does have a downside of having to plug the keyboard in whenever you want to work with BIOS, but I find that I don't have to use it too much after initial configuration. And I use a separate wireless mouse to switch OS in Clover. Bot the best solution, but I'm sure it'll work for some folks.
