- What is a single board keyboard with a keyboard and a mouse?
- It is possible to pair a Bluetooth mouse to the Orange Pi 5B with built in Bluetooth module, but not a keyboard (see previous posts)
- Progammer Roberto Alsina has built a demo with the Radxa zero and an usb keyboard:

- Roberto says, he as paired a Bluetooth keyboard to the Radxa zero too, and it did work, but he tested it not for long (see at the end of the thread):
- so the keyboard situation is better with the Radxa zero than with the Orange Pi 5.
- have problems to pair a Bluetooth keyboard the Radxa zero, and has chosen an usb keyboard instead?
- The Orange Pi 5B has a built in Bluetooth module, but we do not know of anyone who was able to pair a Bluetooth keyboard to it under Armbian (see previous posts).
- The Pinephone mainly shows demos with the Pinephone keyboard which is paired over POGO pins or the usb-c dock. Is this easier to implement, than Bluetooth keyboards?
What about the Orange Pi 5 and usb keyboards? Is it possible to pair usb keyboards to the Orange Pi 5 running Armbian or Ubuntu, and is it possible to type with it, as it is with Roberto Alsina’s demo with the Radxa zero?
