So far I've managed to connect to it and have it function properly as a keyboard but there seems to be some kind of power saving function to the keyboard that I'm having problems with. After about 20 minutes or so (I haven't been patient enough to figure out exactly how long it is) after being left alone the keyboard no longer functions. Opening hcidump with another keyboard and watching the output shows that the keyboard seems to be sending something to my bluetooth receiver, but the connection never reestablishes to the point where I can type with the keyboard again. Currently to reconnect everything I just turn the power to the keyboard off and on again then with a second keyboard I run 'hidd -connect BT_ADDR' and it reconnects. It may be worth mentioning that if I happen to hit a key on the keyboard after restarting it and immediately try the aforementioned command it fails. Ideally what I'd like to do is have the keyboard come back to life and 'just work'. Barring that I'm wondering if it'd be possible to throw something into my crontab to keep the connection alive. If anyone can help in this endevour that would be awesome. I'd be more than willing to provide the necessary output from any commands that should be run to shed some light on the situation, I just haven't included any here because I'm not sure what's needed/relevant.
