just purchased that laser virtual keyboard - Page 2 - maemo.org

I purchased the Celluron CL800BT laser keyboard. It looks like the only way to get this going on my N810 is via kbdd. I noticed that this make of keyboard is not explicitly mentioned in the list for kbdd. Has anyone managed to get kbdd working for the CL800BT on the N810? I am asking as it will probably take me a long time just to install kbdd (I am only an IT user not a developer).

Cheers

Jon

I thought you could just pair this and use it no problems?
Isn't it just a standard bluetooth keyboard device, in which case it should just "work"?
I got a nokia keyboard for my n800 a while back, and pairing that was well easy, shouldn't this be the same?

Thanks for the reply. The CL800BT is a serial keyboard and does not do HID like yours.Kbdd supports serial ports keyboards but I can;t see my model listed.

But do a review and let us know.

For me, its definitely a feedback thing. I even have a hard time with those "hard" keyboards where there is very little feedback. I can't imagine typing on a solid desktop.

That said, there is an additional coolness factor on top of using on your NIT. You'll be the envy of the IT shop.
