I just started using sys-usb. Follow 
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/usb/#how-to-use-a-usb-keyboard and the mouse part 
if you need that. Do `sudo dnf install blueman` in the sys-usb templateVM 
(probably fedora-26), shut it and sys-usb down. Then start sys-usb again.
You should now see a bluetooth applet.

I have chosen to do this, it is a terrible downgrade of security from a normal 
Qubes system, but I think it is better than the alternative of using Ubuntu.
In my case I am also not using the usb cube. Also, this is on a Qubes 4.0rc3 
system.

In a dom0 terminal:
```
qubes-dom0-update blueman
systemctl enable bluetooth
```

Then reboot the computer.

or at least isolate a controller to dom0 dedicated to only your mouse and 
keyboard.  Just don't use wireless.

I'm sorry i was laughing at Joanna's comments.  Do you mean how to enable it 
manually,  or if Qubes is going to support it?  I personally wouldn't want 
bluetooth either man.
Maybe you hold your phone too close to it one day haha.  Or someone uses some 
booster outside your house to reach it who knows.   i mean anything can happen 
and taking over dom0 is game over.  defeats the purpose of using Qubes which 
tries to isolate hardware from dom0.

It is recommended to use usb with a computer that has the Qubes hardware 
requirements to be able to isolate the usb controllers from dom0.
