i purchased his board because it suits my needs. I'm not a pc gamer so a graphics card is not needed. I would like one for some occasional photo editing but I don't do much on this computer. I have an iMac and a MacBook and building a hackintosh was something I wanted to try. Also cost. I'm a student and money is really tight decided the budget custo Mac mini would suit my needs just fine.
Here's the link to anyone who had a Gymle adapter:

these seems em sto be a cheap solution.
I see. Ok, no worries. I have a Gymle adapter right in front of me. I had it before I purchased the official card and adapter. It is expensive, I don't deny it. It's also well worth it as it is another thing that you do not need to worry about. Having a functional keyboard and mouse and WiFi is half of the job.
Let me put this in the nicest way possible, the Gymle is absolutely the worst bluetooth adapter I have ever had the pleasure of using
. I mean, on the scale of 1 to 10 I will give it a 0.
I think you get the picture now. I went out and bought the Belkin bt 4.0 after buying it as it was disgraceful, the range is about a foot. Anything further than that will just disconnect or it is so intermittent (like a keyboard or mouse) that is basically unusable.
The build quality is atrocious, It won't fit in the usb plug unless forced.
I have sold my Belkin bt 4.0 after I bought the Apple one but I am afraid of selling this one as I will most likely get it back due to the buyer refusing it and it will all be more wasted money.
If there is such thing as a waste of money, this adapter is it.
Theres is a picture of it in this post. I had to shave a bit of the plastic from the plug in order to fit but it was still too tight.
I mean, if you want to waste more cash on things like this then go ahead. These adapters will obviously never work like the real thing. It is the cheapest option for a reason.
To start with, it will have to be patched after every OS X update. You will be at the mercy of the the person that created the patch, to make it compatible once again. It's also in Beta so, it might not even work with every configuration. It's made for a real Mac. The range is an issue, not the end of the world as some dongles get about a 5 meters range. It will never have the range of the official card with the 4 antennas.
I have been going backwards and forwards with cards like this for a while. Believe me, it is a waste of time and you will end up spending more money in the end.
If it weren't for hand-off and possibly other future features Apple might release I would be using my trusty Belkin 2.1. I still have that usb dongle also. I am keeping it in case I build another Hackintosh and want to use it for the basic functions.
I use hand-off everyday, I didn't think I would to begin with, but it is just second nature now and it is a great feature to have.
