Hi Mykel,

Hey hey! I got somewhere! (Thanks! I'm so happy about this!) But after
reboot, I'm not sure what I was doing wrong... It seems I need to hit
connect every time I restart... Maybe I have the sequence of commands
wrong?

bthid -d
hcid
bthid -c xx:xx:xx:...


you should start hcid before you start any other Bluetooth daemon and
the "bthid -c" is only needed once. The HID device will reconnect by
itself after you pressed a key.

Regards

Tried this now a few times but it doesn't seem to work, I *must* bthid -c and press connect after an extended idle period

So, it takes 20 minutes to disconnect. I return and there's no mouse working obviously:
