Bluetooth Keyboard/mouse? - birdcatx7 - 02-18-2016

I was wondering if I would be able to use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse with the wifi/bluetooth module? Would keyboards with built in mouse trackpads work?

If you are using android, I do not think there would be a problem since there ones that work with it. If you plan on using Linux, then the question is whether it would work with Linux on an ARM processor (ARM Linux driver). This would be of interest to me, since I was thinking of using a Bluetooth keyboard as well and plan on running Linux. One that I am considering is this one at Newegg:

I've tested bluetooth keyboard on Android. It runs fine.

If the PINE build of the android is anything like he android running on my galaxy note 10.1 this will work perfectly. I'm typing on a bluetooth keyboard now.
When it comes to linux I'm not sure (not because of linux, but because of my lack of experience with linux).

my BT wireless KB/Mouse pads work fine under Android.

Currently using the Logitech K400 on the lasted android build. It works just fine.

Does the trackpad of the K400 also work?

I KNOW that BT Keyboard and Mouse works on "other" ARM devices (32 bit) running Linux...   I've got a BananaPI and BT keyboard and mouse works (Apple keyb and Apple magic mouse) via a USB BT dongle in Debian Jessie - and the same success with NextThing CHIP (these devices have working BT on-board) on Debian Jessie...

However - I can't get BT to work at all in Debian Jessie for Pine64 (2GB board and stock WiFi/BT module) - and I can't get it to work for the only Lollipop build I'd use (so I can make use of the "stock" 7" LCD touchpanel)...   So I'm unable to test any BT keyboard + mouse (separate or combo) with Pine...   Angry Angry Angry Angry Angry Angry
