Revision history [back]

At least one person has reported success just trying to use their bluetooth keyboard with ps3joy. My interpretation is that the keyboard must have been in HID proxy mode, which would get intercepted by the dongle, and forwarded as a USB connection. If you can get your keyboard and mouse into HID proxy mode, you should be fine. I have no idea how to do that, though.

Getting the existing ps3joy.py to coexist with real bluetooth HID devices is really not an easy option, unfortunately. (I can elaborate if you want to attack the problem, but it is pretty non-trivial.)
