Ubuntu Server Bluetooth Keyboard

I bought this January 2024 and today got around to configuring it to my liking. It works great with my Ubuntu Linux server. Ubuntu Noble Numbat. Got this so that a power burp won't cause my server to crash. With some customization I have it doing exactly what I intended. root@sgl-nuc:/var/log# pwrstat -status The UPS information shows as following: Properties: Model Name...................

I bought this to provide backup power to 2 workstation I use as fileservers. One has Ubuntu server, the other is SUSE 11.x as a file server. Integration via USB and apcupsd works like a champ. Both computers will shutdown after the period of time I specified and puts the UPS into standby until the power comes back. And all devices automatically restart. Very sweet. I choose the size based on power supply ratings and the actual load on the UPS is only about 33% capacity. As it turns out, I could have gone with a smaller unit.

Bought it to switch keyboard, mouse and headphones between 3 computers (windows and Ubuntu). Works as expected with no delay when switching between the computers.

Read the fine print. This uses Bluetooth LE, and that requires an iPad3 or better. After wondering why it didn't work with either iPad2 here, I found that tidbit (which I had missed) in the fine print, hemmed, hawed, and opted to upgrade the iPad side of the system. It is a quality product, which on the one hand seems quite pricey for what is effectively a 2 button bluetooth keyboard, but on the other hand is much better made than whatever I might kludge up from a cheaper bluetooth keyboard with many more keys. The keys are lit, soft, and silent, and the device is considerably more affordable than some others in its niche - and with the keys on top, not over the edge, it works fine on carpets (some reviews indicate that is a weakness of some competing devices.) For hands-free page turning it really is ideal. Intended for foot operation, it is a bit larger than you'd expect from the pictures.

I've been using a Ninja V as a timecode server to bridge my bluetooth-only Tascam with my other BNC timecode cameras. That worked fine, but I don't want the Ninja for every shoot. It's working as advertised and I can't complain... but I'm going to anyway: I want an UltraSync Ultra or something. Something that's a combination of this and the UltraSync One. Something that can connect via cable, bluetooth or RF from the same box.

This keyboard works well with my Dell laptop. Easy Bluetooth connectivity.

Great BFF acklit keyboard that doesn’t require Bluetooth.

Simply essential tool. No need for screen and keyboard anymore, just plug into any server and access it. Do need a HDMI convertor

It works well, and no problems for Ubuntu Linux to recognize. :)
