Hi all
I've got a 'smart' TV which turns out doesn't have Bluetooth built in :cry:
It does however support a gamepad plugged in via USB which is what I'm using fine, however I was trying to see if a Bluetooth dongle exists that doesn't need the TV software to handle the pairing function i.e. can it handle its own pairing to the controller and the TV see it as a wired device effectively?

I've been googling away but haven't come across anything other than the usual BT dongles.

Thanks!
 
Thanks all. I somehow stumbled upon 8BitDo Bluetooth adapters which mimic the controller into the usb port and it has worked flawlessly!
This was for a Samsung TV.
 
Would this work with a bluetooth keyboard to allow access to the bios ?
I’m not sure, their website seems clear it’s only for controllers to connect to, however it’s not supposed to work with a TV and it does! Unfortunately I don’t have a Bluetooth controller to test it with.
