I'd love to see something like this but the other way around - a native implementation of a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard in either Android, an iPhone or a RPi with a touchscreen. It would make life in a server rack so much easier if I didn't have to lug around a physical keyboard and mouse...

Oh interesting, I can see how something like that would be useful for myself as well. I think you just gave me some good ideas for future projects as I have a few ideas around using Bluetooth in React Native apps and potentially amalgamating them with Single-board computers. Thank you!

Blackberries could do that, I think it was called Blackberry Connect or something like that. I used to use my Bold as a keyboard for my laptop when it was parked next to the projector.

For Android there is an app that does this. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.appground.b...

This right here is why I love HN. I've searched for years for this. Thanks so much.

Excuse the dumb question, but could I then pair this with OP's project, to give myself a USB wireless keyboard and mouse while only carrying my phone and a Pi Zero 2 W?
