iPhone Gets Support for Bluetooth Keyboards

Posted December 22, 2009 at 1:36am by iClarified
iPhone users who have jailbroken can now use bluetooth keyboards with their device thanks to a driver by Matthias Ringwald.

The Bluetooth Keyboard driver is based on the BTstack Bluetooth Stack. It supports various HID Keyboards. A demo version entitled, "Keyboard Driver Demo" can be found on the Big Boss Cydia Repository. The demo does not allow use of the keyboard outside of the application. The full version will be available in the Cydia Store soon and will support any application.

After installation, start Keyboard demo, then make your Bluetooth Keyboard discoverable (see Keyboard manual). Select keyboard in the device list. A pin code alert tells what PIN to enter on the keyboard. When connected, you can use the keyboard to type into the provided text field. An initial set of Keyboard layouts is provided.
