Currently Bluetooth support is limited to AVR based chips. For Bluetooth 2.1, QMK has support for RN-42 modules. For more recent BLE protocols, currently only the Adafruit Bluefruit SPI Friend is directly supported. BLE is needed to connect to iOS devices. Note iOS does not support mouse input.

A Bluefruit UART friend can be converted to an SPI friend, however this [requires](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/issues/2274) some reflashing and soldering directly to the MDBT40 chip.

The currently supported Bluetooth chipsets do not support [N-Key Rollover (NKRO)](reference_glossary.md#n-key-rollover-nkro), so `rules.mk` must contain `NKRO_ENABLE = no`.
