====== Keysonic 540bt Mini Wireless Keyboard ======

Picked up one of these to go with the Playstation 3 and it after pairing it works straight off.  Next challenge was to get it working with Linux so that I could use it after I installed [[gentoo on playstation 3|Gentoo to the PS3]].

===== Kernel =====

I enabled the following options for Bluetooth in the kernel (tuxonice-2.6.28)

<code kernel>
Networking  ---> 
  Bluetooth subsystem support  ---> 
    <*> L2CAP protocol support 
    <*> HIDP protocol support 
</code>

Recompile install and reboot into your new kernel.

===== Software =====

I opted for [[http://blueman.tuxfamily.org/|Blueman]] as had used it succesfully to connect to my [[nokia n95|N95]].  I'm using the SVN version under release 0.6 as >1.02 is currently hard-masked in Gentoo and unmasking it and the associated dependencies created a world of hassle.

The keyboard showed up after a quick list of bluetooth devices from Blueman so the next step was to bond and connect to it.  After a few false starts this proved relatively simple.  Click on the ''Bond'' button and a dialog will appear, enter in any keysequence you want **but make sure you know what it is** (something simple like ''123456'' is straight forward and easy to remember).  The click on 'OK', then go to the Keysonic 540BT and type in //exactly// the same key sequence, and hit Return.  You're keyboard should now be bonded.

Connecting seems to be a bit flaky but is stable when done from the ''Edit > Services > Input > Settings > Connect'' menus/dialog.  Unfortunately I don't yet get any output from the keyboard, no matter what keys I press, but I've posted a [[http://blueman-project.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=183|request for help]] on the [[http://blueman.tuxfamily.org/forum/|Blueman forums]] and will hopefully have that resolved (and will update this page when resolved).
