Anyone know how to get a bluetooth keyboard working in dom0 (so I can use it with all AppVMs). I'm aware of the security risks but I have an ergonomic split keyboard which I would really like to use with Qubes. The keyboard I'm trying to connect is called the Kinesis Freestyle2 Blue. It uses a non-proprietary bluetooth dongle. Regular logitech proprietary bluetooth keyboards seem to work out of the box with their own dongles but I couldn't get Qubes to detect my non-proprietary usb bluetooth dongle. Can someone please provide me the step by step info to get this working? I'm running a fresh default install of the latest version of Qubes 3.2. Thanks in advance.
