Now that I've looked at it closer (which I shuld've done a long time ago), I
think it'll be difficult to make the Bluetooth bindings totally useful. I can
get into the technical reasons if you'd like, but, for now, the basic reason is
that, in Bluetooth, the keys aren't sending the right bits. I 'm going to try
to talk the manufacturer into an update to fix this.

How well does navigation work on Android when using Bluetooth with BrailleBack?
I rather suspect that it has a similar problem.

Anyway, that's my reason for trying to convince you to build the latest
development code and use USB.

Note, though, that the two have different Bluetooth device addresses. In other
words, you'd also need to pair with the internal host adapter. It's okay to
pair the device with more than one host adapter.

Also note that you lose the pairing when you do a factory reset of the device.
In that case, the device will have forgotten about the pairing even though the
host still "thinks" that it's been done. In that case you need to tell the host
to forget about the pairing and then repair.

No, it'd be wrong due to the problem mentioned above.
