Beautiful work my guy <3 Thanks

is there any possible way to bypass the dongle and convert the controller to bluetooth? even if I have to install a chip? I'm using a Mac. This

Technically anything is possible if you have the right hardware and software knowledge, but this would be a total conversion. You'd have to add a bluetooth chip to the controller, and either reflash or add a microcontroller to read the inputs and convert it to a "bluetooth game controller" message so the receiver would understand it. Plus handle the whole pairing thing. And I'm pretty sure none of the controller specific features would work or be able to be programmed using the astro software.

TL;DR: You could, but good luck
