Things I've tested and confirmed working:
1. The bt remote works on my mac and Android phone flawlessly
2. My BT mouse works perfectly on my Kobo
Interestingly, I did see a post on this thread that led me to a blog post with the exact device as mine but it's a couple years old and the config no longer works.
The device appears as "Beauty-R1". I have a raspberrypi but I could never get the BT device connect with it. (Connection drops soon after it's paired.) So I want to give it one more shot before I buy a 8bitdo Micro.
My current config (which turns the page back for all the buttons)

I'm not well versed with the BT lore in Kobo parlance, but is there any hope for me? |
I just bought a bluetooth remote with the name Beauty-R1 as well (looks slightly different but I'm assuming it's set up the same) and tried to set it up to no avail for the past few days but I finally figured out a configuration that works.
Code:
nextPage EV_KEY KEY_VOLUMEUP 1
prevPage EV_KEY KEY_VOLUMEDOWN 1
To turn the page, just long press the up and down buttons on the remote. Sharing it here in case anyone bought a similar device and was struggling to get the code working like I was.
