I looked into this a bit.
Apparently the Apple "aluminum" keyboard is a standard HID over GATT keyboard but in a slightly non-standard report format.
This only allows it to say, "I'm different" without bringing any features.
Theoretically, I believe a normal Android or whatever should be able to read it without problems.
But apparently the HID driver is so tied to the "standard" form.

If somebody has the Apple keyboard I wouldn't mind seeing it try to connect to an Android or even a Kobo.

(You have to restart after enabling it and after disabling it.)
I'm not sure how BT snooping works on Kobo.
