I found this adapter on Ali Express, the KUWEE bluetooth 5 wired keyboard and mouse adapter, it should connect my beloved wired keyboard and mouse to my PC through Bluetooth 5, to any of 8 bluetooth enabled devices
I got a few of them for a very nice project of mine, but more on that in another post !
I am still looking for all the specs, but i think I found what I was looking for and am here to share this
1- Circulating through output: Switching output devices using the physical button on the device is inconvenient, you have to go through 7 clicks to get back to the one right before the one you are on !
So the answer is a shortcut, something a la KVM devices that intercept keyboard strokes as shortcuts, so the 8 inputs can be mapped directly to the 8 numbers on the keyboard with the following shortcut
Ctrl+Alt+Shift+1/8
2- Resetting the device: another shortcut that might come in handy is how to reset the device, here is the shortcut
device physical button + F1 on keyboard for 15 seconds
So, There you have it, the most useful two shortcuts that can mean the difference between convenient and inconvenient !
3- The USB output at the top: I don’t think it has any function other than sharing the power source to for example recharge a phone or something, not a very useful feature, but knowing what it is would at least answer your curiosities !
So, here are a few photos of the device from the website, here for my reference
There is also another branding of the same external box at a much lower price (Photo below), sometimes less than half the price, but since i will have to wait a couple of weeks for it to arrive, I had to get the above because it has many more reviews, I would bet the other box is exactly like the one I got, but oh well, just a few dollars difference to spare me disappointment isn’t a big deal
And there also seems to be another device that shares the same input and output and description and I would bet it is them same device in a different shell, it looks like the one below, and it is also available in the KUWEE brand…
