Simple Bluetooth Keyboard How-To (Logitech K810 or others)


Here's a very simply how-to to get a bluetooth keyboard persistently paired up on Debian 9 Stretch (should work for others):

https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...-how-to-37550/

Here's how I pair a Logitech K810 persistently, on Debian 9 Stretch (should work on most Linux distributions).

The important thing is to do the "trust" step AFTER the "connect" step. If you get the order wrong, your connection will not persist after a reboot!

I do the following as root:
Code:
bluetoothctl -a
remove 00:1F:20:91:C7:8C
scan on
pair 00:1F:20:91:C7:8C
<type passkey on bluetooth keyboard>
connect 00:1F:20:91:C7:8C
trust 00:1F:20:91:C7:8C
quit
Things will look like this:

Code:
root@rapunzel:~# bluetoothctl -a

This simple example includes removing the device, which is what you do if you need to clean up a botched try. If, on the other hand, you are a perfect being and get it right the first try, you do not need the "remove" step.
