[Noisebridge-discuss] USB-Bluetooth adapter?

[Gopiballava Flaherty]

The search terms:
Bluetooth hid host bridge
...found a few people asking about it. Didn't find anybody doing it and I've never see such a device. I'm pessimistic about it being available off the shelf. 

A generic bridge for anything would be hard to hack using off the shelf stuff. PS/2 keyboard to Bluetooth might be doable if there is a SparkFun module supporting the BT HID keyboard protocol.  

Thanks,

I.e., what I want is a dongle of some sort that I can put a battery in and plug in to a USB keyboard so that I use that keyboard via Bluetooth. This is extraordinarily hard to google for.
