Any tips for dealing with bluetooth devices that don't show up in `/dev/input` on the Kobo device (Clara 2E, in this case)?

I have a couple of devices (including the JX-03 that has been mentioned here on this thread) that work very reliably on Android but although they appear to pair with the Kobo (according to the Nickel settings screen and to `bluetoothctl`), no input device is created under `/dev/input`. In fact, I have yet to find a single bluetooth device for which the Kobo *does* create a suitable device node.

Do I just need to keep trying more devices (and/or stop cheaping out on stuff from AliExpress)? Can anyone recommend a device that has been known to work properly with a Clara 2E?

Thanks!
