Bluetooth Dongle for Catalina 10.15.1

[andrai886]

Hi,

Can you recommend me a bluetooth dongle so I can get my Apple keyboard mouse and keyboard to work?

Please keep in mind that I don't need the WiFi part. Are there any solutions for this?

Thanks

There are three listed in our Buyers Guide, however if you want to try other ones, look for those with a Broadcom 20702 or 20703 chipset. Some of the cheaper models do include these, but you usually need to check the manufacturer specs to discover this.

Hello
No, the reason this bluetooth adapter is recommended is because it does not need any external drivers.

I would check the USB port configuration you are using.

With the BT adapter connected as you show above, run the IORegistryExplorer.app and scroll the left-hand window down about 3/4 of the way until you find the XHC section of the 'tree' or if you have plugged it in to a USB2 port then look for EH01 or EH02 earlier in the tree.

If your ports are configured correctly then you should see reference to the adapter.

You can also do the same test using the Hackintool app as well. Look in the USB tab.

Take a screengrab and report back.
