Is this possible? I was thinking of picking up a bluetooth keyboard and mouse.

Yes. But not just any adapter. This one. It's Apple's supported adapter.

I read the user reviews and laughed pretty good. The guys that had Macs, had no problems. The Windows guys on the other hand....

I bought an IO Gear Bluetooth adapter and plugged it into the back of my Sawtooth. Works like a charm. It was something like $22 at walmart..

Yes. But you're not using a Bluetooth headset with anything but the D-Link one.
No D-Link, No Headset action.

A friend of mine brought over one that he used with his PC and for fun I
plugged it into my G5 and it autoconfigured it and it just started working.
Pretty cool stuff. I think he paid $10 for it from Tiger Direct.

Does anyone have the module plugged into an internal slot on a third party USB card? I was wondering how the signal would be.

word bowowman. I owned two that didn't work with my moto bluetooth headset, finally after seeing a page on apple's site saying something about only supporting headsets with the d-link one, I bought it and no worries.

btw folks..
On my 533 G4(Digital Audio), I've had the D-Link plugged into the internal port on my USB2 PCI card for a week or so now. I can't tell a difference in reception compared to it being plugged into my keyboard. Problem is that USB2 PCI problems rear their damn head and occasionally my computer won't wake from sleep as a result of the bluetooth adapter being plugged internally.
I can't wait to upgrade my rig, I'm kinda tired of having to play "plug/unplug" all the time with my USB2 crap.
