As it says in the article about the new software update 10.2.5 there is
some support for Microsoft Bluetooth keyboard and mouse devices.

"Bluetooth Setup Assistant now works with certain Microsoft keyboards

mouse devices. "
Does this mean that there is Bluetooth HID support in this update?
Yes. We have added generic Bluetooth HID support to the system with
10.2.5.
What does this really mean? Standard HID reports which are already
recognized by the System (standard keys, mouse movements, scroll
wheels, mouse button [left and right]) are handled by the System as if
they came from any other HID device. Custom controls (special keyboard
buttons, additional mouse buttons) are passed up to, but are not
handled by the System.
Does Microsoft have more than one Bluetooth keyboard?
No, there is only one Bluetooth keyboard from Microsoft on the market
to my knowledge.
Is there any more specific information?
There really is not much more to add. Since this is the developer list
I will add that there are not any public APIs released to access a
Bluetooth HID device with this release. We are interested in hearing
what sort of access is needed by you folks to accomplish what you need.
You can ask the questions or relay the information on this list, or
you can contact the Bluetooth contact in Developer Relations: Craig
Keithley - email@hidden to make your needs known.
