Hello, my Bluetooth keyboard connects via USB and has power.
Typing on the keyboard doesn't make any text though?
Specifications:
Linux raspberrypi 4.1.18-v7+ #846 SMP Thu Feb 25 14:22:53 GMT 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux
Raspberry Pi 3.
Re: Bluetooth keyboard not typing anything
What Bluetooth are you running? Assuming you done the usual turned on and inserted correctly, a couple of things to try, apologies for lack of helpful hyperlinks, but am using phone and haven't figured how to do them yet.
1. Plug the dongle into a USB port on your Pi and boot it up.
At the command line type
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends bluetooth
Once the software is installed, type
sudo service bluetooth statues
You should see bluetooth is running. If not, reboot and try again.
2. On the gui add/remove programmes type into search box Bluetooth and look for bluez (it's a Bluetooth support stack) or
sudo apt-get install bluetooth bluez blueman
sudo reboot
it seems to have done the trick for my Rii mini.
Good luck and keep posted on progress.

Re: Bluetooth keyboard not typing anything
Thanks, I tried all the commands, but same issue.
I'm not sure if it is a Bluetooth keyboard.
The keyboard plugs into a USB port, so it probably a USB keyboard.
The keyboard has 2 LED lights at the top. The left LED is off and the right LED is usually red, but occasionally green. Not sure if this is saying not enough power?
$ lsusb doesn't show the keyboard as found?

Re: Bluetooth keyboard not typing anything
Yes, fixed!
Very random, but the USB powers the Bluetooth keyboard.
The Bluetooth connection process was random and I just clicked around and it works.
However, the Bluetooth keyboard Bluetooth connection is intermittent. Think I need a USB keyboard.
