[SOLVED]Anker ultra-slim keyboard issues

[holycause]

Hey everyone,
I was finally able to connect my Anker bluetooth keyboard
Unfortunately, it doesn't recognize all the key. It's looks like it's using a numpad layout for it
these are what the keys are mapped to:

Code: Select all

7 7
8 8
9 9
0 /
- =
p *
o 6
i 5
u 4
j 1
k 2
l 3
; -
/ +
. .

Any idea how I could get it to work?

Cheers

never mind, I just had to disconnect the other keyboard and reboot to get it to work

I'd love to know what the trick was, I'm having a tough time getting it to pair on Raspbian, I got all the bluetooth stuff installed, and I can see devices listed in the GUI, but can't seem to pair with them. I could go buy a keyboard mouse combo that's known to work, but I don't want to if I can just use stuff I have laying about.

I figured out my problem, merely had to add my user to the 'bluetooth' group.

Code: Select all

sudo usermod -a -G bluetooth pi

Hi,

I have tried the above and it did not work for me. I can see the keyboard but no connection is made when I enter the passkey.

I can connect and use a wiimote so some software at least is installed correctly.

Are you using Wheezy or Jessie, I am using jessie.


cheers
