* Because Bluetooth Passthrough Mode skips Dolphin's emulated Bluetooth and Wii Remote code entirely, it is not possible to mix passthrough mode and emulated/real/hybrid Wii Remote. This means that netplay, TAS input, input display, etc. cannot work.

If you run into problems after doing this, such as an "LIBUSB_ERROR_NOT_FOUND" error when trying to use the adapter with Dolphin, downloading and installing the [https://github.com/daynix/UsbDk/releases latest x64 usbdk driver] could help.
If you wish to return your Bluetooth back to normal, start "Device Manager" and locate "libusbK" devices in the list.  Right click the device you wish to restore and uninstall device.  Upon plugging it in next time, Windows will install the default Bluetooth driver and it will continue functioning per normal.  NOTE:  If you used the winUSB driver instead, it will be located under "Universal Serial Bus Devices."  Same instructions apply otherwise.
 
If Dolphin is unable to use your Bluetooth device after doing this, it may not have the necessary hardware features.  You can attempt to use the "winUSB" driver from zadig as a last ditch effort.
 
==== usbdk ====
 
As of {{revision|5.0-10617}} usbdk is no longer supported.
 
Some users who wish to maintain use of their Bluetooth Device and use it in Dolphin without swapping drivers have opted to use usbdk.  When Dolphin starts up, you will lose control of your Bluetooth Device and regain it when Dolphin is shutdown.  While this cuts down on the work if you need to use your Bluetooth device across many controllers, usbdk has many bugs. The worst of which is that any ES_Launch will immediately crash freeze the game due to usbdk losing control of the Bluetooth.
