    • How to: connect wireless/bluetooth keyboard (like Apple's)

      Just something I did not find a solution for directly @recalbox...

      Simple steps that worked for me on my pi:

      1. Exit emulation station with F4 and press ALT+F2 to enter the terminal and login with root and pw recalboxroot (or ssh)
      2. put your keyboard into pair mode (with the Apple one: hold power button until LED starts blinking)
      3. type command 'bluetoothctl'
        with up/down arrow you can see some common commands it seems and with command 'scan on' you can get a list of bluetooth-devices.
      4. type pair XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX (replace with address of your keyboard)
      5. you will get a 6 digit code displayed in the terminal; type it on your wireless keyboard, followed by enter
      6. type 'connect'
      7. reboot and the keyboard keeps connecting/working!

      Would be nice if the GUI could handle this situation too. It seems to not know how to handle the pairing PIN part?
