USB Bluetooth dongles are cheap nowadays, but the vast majority only mention support for the usual flavors of Windows – Windows 98 and later, the versions of Windows that support USB. Short of taking a chance and spending your money, how can you know if it will work with your Mac?

Hideez Bluetooth Dongle for PC&Mac provides wireless connectivity for your device with low power consumption. Hideez USB Bluetooth receiver connects your Mac or PC to a growing list of Bluetooth devices like smartphones, tablets, mice, keyboards, and our product Hideez Key 2 - Hardware Password Vault and Manager.

That's where Low End Mac is stepping up to the plate. We're going to acquire USB Bluetooth dongles one at a time, test them on our G4 Power Macs running Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and 10.5 Leopard (and earlier versions), and report back to you on this page.

Unbranded USB Bluetooth 2.0 Dongle

I suspect we're going to run into this a lot – unbranded dongles. This one supports Bluetooth 2.0 and is made in China. It's identified as Tiny USB 2.0 Bluetooth Dongle Adapter for PC Laptop (ID=4911) on my receipt from BudgetGadgets.com (no longer online) in Hong Kong, where it sells for $5.07 – and quantity discounts are available.

I ordered this on October 22 and received it on November 9 via airmail, not an uncommon turnaround time from the Orient. It was packed with a USB keyboard that we plan to review in a few days, and the whole package was well wrapped.

I don't have a lot of Bluetooth hardware to test at present: my LG phone, my old Motorola phone, and a Plantronics Voyager 510 headset. I was able to pair each of these on my OS X 10.5 Mac, and the LG phone, the only device I tried with it, on my OS X 10.4 machine. I did not try using the phones as a data connection to the Internet, since I don't want to pay Alltel Verizon for data service.

Since first posting this article, I have also used the dongle with my Blue & White G3 running Mac OS X 10.3 Panther, and it works with my phones. However, the Bluetooth drivers for 10.3 do not support headsets.

I'll be look into picking up some other Bluetooth gadgets for testing purposes and update this articles as I test them. I'm still planning to test it with OS X 10.2 Jaguar on my Blue & White G3.

BudgetGadgets.com has a host of low cost computer and electronic gadgets available, including several other Bluetooth dongles, mice, keyboards, USB flash drives, hard drive enclosures, USB hubs, memory cards, speakers, and even some netbooks. BudgetGadgets.com is offering Low End Mac readers a 5% discount using the coupon code DM5OFF23.

Ok I have done some plundering and searching through to make sure I wasn't asking an already answered question, and 'USB, BLUETOOTH and DONGLE' are all VERY popular words used on this forum (obviously). But What I am trying to figure out, is if there is a certain bluetooth dongle I can buy for my iMac G5 so that I can use my wireless mighty mouse and keyboard, and I will eventually buy the magic mouse. So is there any suggestions as too what bluetooth dongle works the best, or some that work enough to use my periphs. cause I know you guys with some of the older macs as well are using these from reading a few of the threads I went through. Thanks
