Issue with Bluetooth Keyboard - in two different distros
I had Kubuntu installed on my machine all the way up until the latest version of Ubuntu Studio was made available. So I installed that and for some odd reason, my Bluetooth keyboard (a Logitech MX Keys) no longer works but my Bluetooth mouse does. Problem with the distro I'm guessing so I try something else, Manjaro in this case and the SAME DARN THING happens! Tried using a different Bluetooth keyboard (a Logitech K450 in this case) and it won't work either! Am I cursed?????????

Hi,
Do you use a desktop tool to setup the device(s)? Most BT tools will let you discover a device for pairing. Does the keyboard power up in pairing mode?

There's a setup took for this in Windows but not Linux (it figures). Blueman sure isn't much help.

This may be obvious, but have you checked the keyboard batteries? I ask that because I've been puzzled in the past about why a device wouldn't work, and spent time troubleshooting it, when the problem was dead batteries.

Sure as heck did, otherwise it wouldn't be showing up in the list of visibile devices in Blueman anyway.
