BT Keyboard (Keychron K3) only works with bluedevil-wizard?
Posted: Fri Apr 11, 2025 7:27 pm
I tried to get my Keychron K3 working on my MX Linux via Bluetooth, but no luck after only using blueman-applet.
I could connect the keyboard via Bluetooth and make it trust, but no keys worked.
After disconnecting and connecting manually, it didn't work anymore and there was an info:
An internet search only told me to turn off and on bt again, but it didn't work.
After a while I used bluedevil-wizard instead of trying to pair it with blueman-applet and it worked
The question is, why? What does bluedevil-wizard do differently than the wizard of blueman-applet?
