Setting up Hideez USB Bluetooth Dongle on macOS

The Hideez Bluetooth Dongle is a highly compatible, cross-platform device that enables Bluetooth 4.0 functionality on systems where it may be limited or unstable.

The dongle is compatible with both Intel-based Macs and Apple Silicon Macs (M1, M2, M3).
