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!

I’m not sure about that device specifically, but some devices require uhid.ko patch to be applied before the device is recognized as an input device. My Clara 2E won’t recognize my device without it. Are you applying it?
If your device is not identifying itself as a keyboard-like device, you may indeed be out of options. I found 2 out of 4 devices that work. The ones that don’t function are marketed for this and that app, like TikTok shutter control With a bunch of buttons etc. I would avoid those and go for single button devices at the very least. But do try uhid.ko first if you haven’t already. It’s in this thread somewhere.
