Reddit mentions of GMYLE Bluetooth 4.0 Broadcom Chip Dongle Adapter, Ultra-Mini USB Transmitter Receiver with LED, Support Windows 10, 8, 7, Plug and Play

This question comes up fairly frequently - I would honestly just buy a PS3 controller. It is already wireless, has full rumble support, is obviously of high quality, and is perfect for most retro systems; particularly the psx, ps2, nes, and snes.

This driver will give you native support with xinput and rumble in windows: http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-XInput-Wrapper-for-DS3-and-Play-com-USB-Dual-DS2-Controller

A cheap bluetooth dongle works pefectly, assuming you don't already have bluetooth support. I use this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007MKMJGO/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Honestly, don't bother with the logitech controllers. They aren't the high quality they used to be (there are particularly problematic deadzone issues), and for less than the f710 you can get a far superior controller.

Some people will recommend the xbox360 controller instead. It is a fine choice, but the dpad on the ps3 controllers is much better, and you'll be using it a lot for retro gaming. The PS3 controller is also cheaper than the wireless x360 controller for windows, so that is a factor too.

Damn, missed that. You could always go with a cheapo BT dongle like I did ;)

Bluetooth is working correctly for me under macOS Sierra 10.12.3 as soon as this dongle is plugged in without anything special in the config.plist.

I'm using this specific model: GMYLE Ultra-Mini USB Broadcom BCM20702 Class 1.5 Bluetooth V4.0+EDR Dual Mode Dongle plugged in a USB 2.0 port.

What version of macOS are you using?

Does anything show up in System Information under Hardware > Bluetooth or Hardware > USB after you plug in the dongle?

I'm using this:

on 10.13.1 and it's working OOB great with Apple Magic mouse, and 3 other BT things i have.

Unfortunately you're kind of limited in mATX selection, but the Gigabyte Z390M is a good choice.

You're definitely going to be limited further still as far as space for all those PCI-E devices too.

Vega64 will obscure the PCI-E 1x slot below it and you'd need to install your 10GbE card in the bottom PCI-E 4x slot, so that leaves no further room which means you'll need to resort to using USB for WiFi and BT.

For Bluetooth you can use a GYMLE BT USB adaptor (or similar chipset) which should work natively.

For WiFi, I've read that others have had success with TP-Link's Mac drivers for their USB WiFi products like the Archer T4U.

Which 10GbE card are you planning on using? Just make sure it's compatible first. Even though there are official Aquantia-based NICs used on real Macs, most won't work out-of-the-box without tinkering. I have a Sonnet Solo 10G PCI-E myself. I know there's a Syba version too. Some people were able to flash Intel X540/X550 cards in order to use SmallTree drivers, but I think Syba is pretty much 'plug and play' and cheaper anyway.

As for cooling in your Corsair 280X and your desire for overclocking your 9900K to 5GHz, liquid cooling is probably the most appropriate option since you're limited by the 150mm height for any decent air cooling options. I'm more of an 'air' guy myself so I'm not too sure which options are the most appropriate for your use case, but there's heaps of reviews about the best AIO coolers for the 9900K out there you can look at.

USB adaptors made by IOGEAR and GMYLE work OOB as far as you are using ordinary Bluetooth connection ( e.g. keyboard, mouse, trackpad and audio.) Unlike ones from osxwifi.com, additional work is required when you want to use Continuity functions with iOS.

GMYLE Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter. Works like a charm! I've had no problems at all.

>Is it possible to use a hackintosh without Bluetooth?

It's not a requirement.

>If I do, I’d want a pcie x1,

Every Bluetooth adapter I've ever seen is a USB dongle. There are WifI/Bluetooth PCI-e combo cards, though.

I use one of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007MKMJGO

You're probably going to want to upgrade that to a compatible AMD card, at some point, if you want to use a dGPU in anything higher than High Sierra, which will lose support in less than a year. Your iGPU will suffice otherwise.

Pretty happy with my build, although the only I would change is to get a wifi/bluetooth card that works with BIOS rather than the USB dongle I have now.

I’ve had success with this when it comes to getting a bluetooth 4.0 dongle to work. The one linked to has a chipset that apple supports out of the box, no need to install anything special, though you do need to do some poking to get your mac to use the right bluetooth device (the dongle over the built-in one).

The mid 2012 MBP is the same board design as yours but with an airport cart that supports bluetooth 4.0.
In theory you should be able to swap your card out for the newer one. It is not soldered in.
I don't know anyone who has tried this though.

A much cheaper but less clean option is to buy a USB bluetooth 4.0 dongle which is compatible with OSX.
This one uses the same chipset as one of the imac cards i believe, so it's fully supported.
People report it works with OSX. However, i've not seen anyone report on whether continuity works or not yet.

If every "tile" should be able to tell the HQ where they were then every tile would need their own GPS tracker PLUS an active internet connection. Then it'd suddenly cost you $100 for a single tile, instead of $18, and you'd have to pay a monthly subscription for the internet connection (per tile). The way this works is probably using an open bluetooth connection, or simply a certain WiFi channel or something similar to measure distance (maybe a GUID to specify the tile's ID so you can mark it as lost), and since your phone already has internet and GPS, then your phone could do all the expensive work and contact the HQ.

Edit: It uses Bluetooth 4.0 (which costs close to nothing - you can get a transmitter for a few bucks)
Edit 2: The cheapest I could find was this which is $6.00, but surely it'd be much cheaper to produce in bulk than the retail price.

awesome thank you.

would these work with audio? For example, beats headphones to the hackintosh?

That TP-Link card should be compatible.

These are compatible with macos:

I use the GMYLE Bluetooth Adapter.

It generally costs around $10US and I haven't had any issues so far.

will this dongle work for the beta http://www.amazon.com/GMYLE-Bluetooth-Technology-Wireless-Broadcom/dp/B007MKMJGO/ ?
I have a 2011 iMac

I used to use the IOGEAR GBU521. It worked great, and woke from sleep. But it ended up just dying on me one day; for whatever reason it just stopped working. I didn't bother getting another one, I just use a USB mouse/keyboard now.

Tonymac's July Buyer's Guide also suggests this one: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007MKMJGO/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=tonymacx86com-20
