@eroxx Recalbox was developed to play with joystick, to deliver an experience as close as possible to the original, we recommend using a keyboard only in computer games, which the keyboard was originally used for.

@karlo8321 To get rid of my BT problem - too low BT range with Pi 4B and/or RB 8 - I've tried 3 different USB BT dongles that worked fine in past with Pi 3B. None of them is working at all with Pi 4B and/or RB 8. Not any bluetooth device is found, as soon I connect one of these dongles.

I hope it's just a software issue, as I would prefer using the interneral BT of Pi 4B anyway. I've never had a range issue in the long past, just used BT dongles with Pi3 B (non +) because of the bad latency. With Pi 3B+ everything was fine. I switched to RB 8.0.x in parallel with the switch to Pi 4B, so I can't tell if hardware (Pi 4B) or software (RB 8.0.x) causes the range issue. Anyway, the fact that my USB dongles do not work at all should be caused by software.

In uae4arm libretro there is a virtual keyboard and it's qwerty. Which keyboard are you talking about ?

@lotey There are other reports apparently:

There is a beta version available for testing:

@pssadm Apparently other users have already reported similar problems, there is even an open issue, I recommend that you comment on it:
https://gitlab.com/recalbox/recalbox/-/issues/1415

Maybe this will help:

@SmashDde Of course, we understand the pov of a frustrated user because there is a bug, and as a user, I fully understand how bad this is.

I just wanted to make clear the situation of the developers, and to make it clear that if more users comment on your issue it will be
better: the team of developers is small, and the work is a lot, so they need to prioritize, and one of the priority criteria is the number of users affected.
