I am glad to announce that Bluetooth HID devices are now supported by the USB Host library. The library already supports PS3 and Wiimote controllers, but now it also supports more general devices, like Bluetooth keyboard and mice.

An example is available at the following link: https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0/blob/master/examples/Bluetooth/BTHID/BTHID.ino.

First time you run the code, you will have to pair with your device, this is done by creating the instance like so:

You can of course set the pin to anything you like.

Now you should enable discovery of your device and it should automatically detect any mouse or keyboard present and then connect to them. On Bluetooth mice there is no need to enter any pin, but on a keyboard you should enter the pin on the keyboard and then afterwards press enter.

So in this example you should press 0 four times on the keyboard and then press enter afterwards.

After you have paired with the device, you can simply create the instance like so:

When you press any button on your device it will automatically connect to the last paired device i.e. your Arduino.
