Bluetooth Keyboard not working

REPRODUCIBILITY:
OS VERSION: 4.0.5.25
HARDWARE: Xperia 10 iii
UI LANGUAGE: English
REGRESSION: Unsure

DESCRIPTION:

Unfortunately I can’t get two bluetooth keyboards i’ve bought working on Sailfish. They are quite key to my productivity. I believe there is likely an issue with Bluez and it’s 5.0 implementation not recognising the device as HID, they work when plugged in although they don’t show a cursor for the trackpad function.

PRECONDITIONS:

Keyboard mode details: GitHub - ZitaoTech/BBQ10-USB_BLE_Keyboard: An ultra portable Keyboard Mouse Combo using the original Blackberry Q10 keyboard and the trackpad from BB9900
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

  1. Use standard method of pairing that works with other devices with the same keyboard/s.
  2. Device pairs
  3. Device does not work as input device

EXPECTED RESULT:

Keyboards to function the same as when they were plugged in

ACTUAL RESULT:

Keyboard does not function

MODIFICATIONS:

None

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:





Please, can you update the Preconditions section and add the models of the bluetooth keyboard you’re using.

thanks in advance

In the Bluez directory in etc there is an input.conf which looks like it could be involved with this.

Are you able to help me in anyway to solve this?
