I just noticed that they sell small keyboards with a mouse pad, wireless, precisely for mediacenters. Just the thing.
How well do Bluetooth keyboard/mice work on Linux, or specifically on openSUSE?
I've been using a Logitech wireless keyboard (and mouse, but rarely) since 2012, it works very well. We only use it as a mythtv "remote control", so the batteries have yet to be changed :-)
Do they work on BIOS and GRUB screens? Not a blocking issue, but...
Yep, works just like any other USB keyboard.
Hint: there is a very BIG difference between "Bluetooth Keyboard" and a wireless keyboard with its own proprietary receiver-dongle (e.g. Logitech) at least as far as BIOS and UEFI (and grub) are concerned. The bluetooth will (mostly) fail in UEFI, b/c there is seldom a bluethooth HID driver integrated in the UEFI, while the ones with the proprietary receiver-dongle will (mostly) work, as they present a USB-HID device to the computer. Same with mouse / touchpads. - Yamaban. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
