I was looking for a cheap Bluetooth adapter, the Dlink 120 is known for working fine without drivers, but is currently unavailable or hard to find.

I had some money standing in a Chinese site (for a joystick not working a 100 %) and started looking in the bluetooth section.

Most of the Adapters were Windows only, but one of them was advertised as Mac Os compliant, so i placed my order (not much to loose, as the price was only 3 € including delivery, and money was already spent anyway)

The delivery was 3 weeks time, but yesterday evening the item was home.

The adapter was delivered without any CD (probably to save transport fees) but i don't care as those are mainly for Windows anyway.

The package didn't advertised for any Mac Os support.

Time for a test :)

Didn't get much information from Mac Os X about the adapter, but was recognized and the Powermac didn't complained about not being Bluetooth complaint.

So i switched on the Apple wireless Keyboard, and tried to pair the device... worked flawlessly :lol:

The keyboard was tested and worked fine.

Was tested with my mobile phone, and was connected easily.

I wanted to share, the device is named ES-388 and can be found easily.
