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?

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

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?

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.
