I'm typing this right now from the keyboard. Heh, I've been away but was just going to suggest that reading your mails.. btw a few words on security (though the scenario where somebody uses this information and tracks you down to interfere with your system seems pretty unlikely :) - now that you have posted the PIN you used and bdaddr of your device, you might want to re-pair with a different (more secure) PIN as I think the link key may be derivable - Not sure but I think that the keyboard will probably force auth and encryption when making connections. The FreeBSD stack does not have a way to do this except globally so unless you have the auth or encrypt flags set (see hccontrol(8)) then a remote device can break right in - IMO the PIN should be ephemeral and use-once so when you are paired you should remove it from the config file or at least comment it out > Now, I guess the next step would be to find the bt mouse I have and > try to get it going as well... that is probably fixed pin 0000 if not in the documentation > This is my second favorite keyboard ever. How is the keypress feel? I've not had a go on one of those, but I have an original apple bluetooth keyboard (white with clear undershell, full sized with num keypad) that works well though a smaller one might be interesting. iain
