This bluetooth dongle list is not exhaustive. Please add any working dongle to this page; don't forget to mention: the chip manufacturer and version, the price and the store.

Using GIMX+bluetooth requires a bluetooth dongle or module that can have its bdaddr (bluetooth device address) modified.
Following bluetooth chips can have their bdaddrs permanently modified:

  • CSR bluecore4-rom
  • CSR bluecore2-ext

Some Broadcom chips can work, their bdaddrs can be temporarily modified.
You should prefer CSR bluecore4 chips over any other chips (some CSR bluecore2 chips and some Broadcom chips do not work reliably).
Warning: most of the CSR dongles from ebay/dealextreme don't work because they are counterfeits!
The chip manufacturer and version are displayed in gimx-bluetooth:
