I'm trying to get a RK61 keyboard to a Raspberry Pi Zero W. It sometimes works, until I switch it off-and-on-again, or reboot...
It might be due to the nomen-est-omen nature of the RK61 keyboard firmware (which appears to favour media function keys over F1..F12 to the extend that they never work).
I mean Bluetooth has been around for just 27 years, and the technology might still be a bit immature ;-)
Does anyone know anyone who uses a bluetooth keyboard with a humble Pi?
