RPi, Bluetooth Keyboard

I am wanting to replace my old (and slowly dieing) keyboard with a modern device. What I am wanting is a Bluetooth media centre device – one which combines keyboard and trackpad. My preferences would be one that’s not full size either – something about half or two thirds the size that of a regular keyboard. Most BT keyboards ship with a dongle. If I buy one and plug it in to the Pi, with RISC OS see and respond to the keyboard without any trouble? Any recommendations for such a device? Thanks. |

Some keyboards ship with a slightly more intelligent dongle, that presents the device (and mouse too, possibly) as USB HID, until the BT driver is loaded. These are intended so you can use a PC BIOS or press F5 F8 etc (or use without drivers). These ought to work on RISC OS. Simple bluetooth won’t work with RO. (Yet; see other topics) |

We stock a mini USB Keyboard with integrated touchpad. We can get larger USB keyboards with integrated touchpads but they are not cheap. |
