Bluetooth Keyboard Compatibility with Linux Mint

Pairing and Trusting Mini BT Keyboard on Linux Mint Laptop

Recently, I bought a mini Bluetooth keyboard from Amazon UK to use with my Linux Mint laptop. However, when I pair and trust the keyboard, Linux recognizes the keyboard keys but does not produce any input on the laptop.

Detailed Context

To pair the mini Bluetooth keyboard with the Linux Mint laptop, I followed the standard Bluetooth pairing process. The keyboard was discovered by the laptop, and I was able to connect to it without any issues. However, when I started typing on the keyboard, the laptop did not register any input.

Steps Taken

1. Purchased a mini Bluetooth keyboard from Amazon UK.
2. Ensured the keyboard was compatible with Linux Mint.
3. Turned on the Bluetooth keyboard.
4. Enabled Bluetooth on the Linux Mint laptop.
5. Put the keyboard in pairing mode.
6. The laptop discovered the keyboard, and I was able to connect to it.
7. However, when I started typing on the keyboard, the laptop did not register any input.

Code Block (bash)

  # Enabling Bluetooth
