Rii i8+ Bluetooth Keyboard FYI

shwabo

I had a problem connecting the Rii i8+ BT keyboard to the GT1. I can see it, link it, but then there is no response from the keyboard. I saw a few other people experiencing the same problem witht their GT1 as well. I just want to let people know that I have purchased the iPazzPort BT mini keyboard, linked it to the GT1 and it works. I also have the Rii i8 2.4Ghz wireless mini keyboard, but so far the iPazzPort BT is much better performing IMO. Plus it frees up a USB port on the beelink, and is a little cheaper, price wise, than the Rii. Hope this helps anyone looking to use a BT keyboard with their GT1.

I also have the Rii i8+ (the bluetooth version) and i am unable to use it. It connects fine, but is not detected as input device.
I have tried with an apple bluetooth keyboard and a Chinese tablet case keyboard, and both act the same, so i thought there is a problem with the box itself, as all three keyboards work fine on other android, apple, windows or mac devices.
Since you have found a working bluetooth keyboard, can you please run this "cat /proc/bus/input/devices" in terminal emulator and let me know what are the devices it detects ?

I just tried to get that info for you but get a permission denied error. Do I need root to do that? And if yes, can you give me a quick noob guide on how to? Thanks!

Sorry, scratch that, I missed the cat before the rest of it. My mistake. I did however type cat/proc/bus/input/devices the second time around and I get not found. Any suggestions?

ravest

this command should not require root.
it should work just by opening terminal emulator and typing "cat /proc/bus/input/devices" without "" and then enter

shwabo

yes, you are correct. I forgot to put a space in-between cat and the rest of the command. Sorry. I will post the results when I get back home, had to run out. I'm assuming you need just the keyboard portion?

Hope this helps!! Let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks for the info, but i did not lead me to any conclusion.
Maybe somebody will figure this out, or maybe Beelink will fix it, hopefully SOON.
