i do not know. it depends. if k700i looks like mouse then it most likely
will work. if k700i looks like keypad/keyboard then it will not work
(for the reason described above - cant have more then one active
keyboard/keypad attached to the console).
there is a bthidcontrol(8) tool in
/usr/src/usr.sbin/bluetooth/bthidcontrol. could you please compile it
and send me the output of "query" command? there is a bthidcontrol.8 man
page in the same directory ("nroff -man bthidcontrol.8 |less" - to read it)

you will also need to create /etc/bluetooth/bthidd.conf configuration
file. bthidcontrol(8) will help you with that.
