How does a generic bluetooth mouse / keyboard work with macos without installing any driver?

Solution 1:

Yes. It's the generic USB HID (Human Interface Device) driver/kext or Bluetooth HID profile

All operating systems have a generic HID driver so that USB and Bluetooth keyboards, mice, and track pads will work out of the box without the need for a manufacturer supplied driver. That said, specialized keyboards and mice like those used for gaming, for example, will operate as a generic device but, to use the specialized functions or extra buttons, you'll need the manufacturer driver.
