Bluetooth Adapter for Keyboard & Mouse (BT-600)
A Bluetooth Adapter and a USB to USB Bridge
BT-600 main features:
- Based on Bluetooth 5.2 (a.k.a Bluetooth Low Energy or BLE) with reduction in power consumption and fast connection time.
- Works with ALL host types: Apple Mac, iPhone/iPad, Android phones and tablets, all versions of Windows and most others.
- Hosts must support Bluetooth 5.2
- Hosts must support Bluetooth keyboard and/or mouse. Some low end Android phones/tablets have Bluetooth supporting only hands-free headset but not keyboard/mouse.
- Windows: must be Windows 8 or up. Windows 7 and lower do not support Bluetooth 5. See this Microsoft Page.
- Compatible with all types of USB keyboards including those with a built-in hub (e.g., Happy Hacking, DAS, Apple, Dell, etc.) and keyboard/trackball combos (in that case both keyboard and trackball will both work)
- For keyboards with a built-in hub: other devices connected to the hub will not work
- Also works with most keyboard emulating USB devices such as barcode scanners, RFID readers, magnetic strip readers and foot pedals.
- Support USB mice. Scroll wheel also works
- 0.96″ Color TFT Display
- Type-C female port, with an included Type-c to Type A convertor.
- No pin-code pairing: does not require a pin code to pair a host
- Command line interface to customize features such as key mappings, macros and layers.
- Configurable keep-alive (timer) feature: periodically sending out key strokes to keep host from falling into sleep or network connection from timing out.
- Power is passed from USB device (male) port directly to USB host (female) port.
- FCC and CE certified.

Review by our customers (thanks to all of you).
The DIY projects below use the previous version of the Adapter (with a built-in battery). The smaller size and flexibility to use a battery bank make the new adapter more suitable for such projects.
