Hi Petri,

really? I assumed the specification and qualification is pretty clear. Encryption is a must requirement for keyboard devices. Do you have traces where this causes issues.
I would also like to hear about samples of these broken keyboards. I have to admit that I have not personally used a Bluetooth keyboard in a while, but when developing the HID support back in the days, the encryption was never an issue. So I am surprised to hear that it has gotten worse and I hope this is not a bug on our side.
Regards
Marcel
