Rii mini 4 keyboard & touchpad work with the Pinephone over Blueooth

Last Updated on July 20, 2024 by pg@petergamma.org

Why to be smart if Bluetooth works?

I thought that the Rii mini 4 with 2.4 Ghz dongle would be the ultimate solution to solve the Pinephone keyboard problem. After a sleepless night in which I tested 6 cheap Aliexpress docks in all configuration with usb keyboard and mouse, none of the worked. Some time ago, one of them worked with usb keyboard and mouse, but I could not reproduce it. I thought a Rii mini 4 with 2.4 Ghz dongle would eventually the solution for the Pinephone keyboard problem together with a usb docking sation station for the Pinepon:

But in the morning I decided not to buy any further Pinephone accessoires I never use and put on the screed and take it down again for some tests.

In the afternoon, I thought, why not to try also the Rii 4 over Bluetooth? Reports of Zebulon Walton about a Bluetooth mini keyboard with the Pinephone where horrible and I had not much hope:

Now I paired the Rii 4 mini over Bluetooth to my Pinephone with postmarketOS. There where no disconnection issues during a 3 min tests as where reported with other Bluetooth keyboards:

  • Keys, touchpad and scrollweel worked.
  • One user reported to have issues with connecting a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse at the same time to the Pinephone. Only one device worked, either keyboard and mouse.
  • Others reported that both Bluetooth keyboard and mouse work with Logitech devices and the Pinephone:

  • But Logitech has no mini keyboards.
  • The Rii mini 4 is a mini keyboard with dual mode BLE and 2.4 Ghz dongle.
  • I did not get to work the 2.4 Ghz dongle, but the keyboard without the dongle over Bluetooth.

The Rii 4 over Bluetooth is the best experience for a Pinephone keyboard for me personally to this date. It is available and worked for 3 min. reliably. This gives me hope for more. And it has also a layout with many keys, similar to the Pinephone keyboard which makes it a great device. The keyboard is not much bigger than the Pinephone, and fit’s in a pocket.

Information for product sellers who do stock market speculation and scalping with products mentioned by Peter Gamma on www.petergamma.org

*************************************************************

According to the little experience of Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org, many of the products listed here are still full of issues which need to be resolved. If you do stock market speculation and scalping with those, you will loose Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org as a buyer of these products and as a reviewer. Is this not risky? Will you not loose a majority of your costumers as well?

And is it not so, that society in general does not accept stock market speculation and scalping with products as those which are listed here? And will you not be politically incapable of finding a majority of the voters if you do stock market speculation and scalping with these products?

And as a consequence will you not be condemned and punished by a political referendum soon? Especially if you do this to a Swiss, since are not majority of Swiss against stock market speculations and scalping with people on a budget? And people in Switzerland are known for a lot of political referendums, since we have direct democracy in this country.

And Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org will fight up to the European Court of Human Rights against people who do stock market speculation and scalping with the products which are mentioned on www.petergamma.org. And if they do not have yet the legal basis there to do so, he will fight for it.

What is a scalping?

Scalping is a trading strategy in which an investor buys and sells a single asset multiple times throughout the day. The goal of a scalper is to make a small profit over a large number of small trades, rather than a huge profit on each individual trade.

What is a scalper?

A scalper is someone who buys something and resells it at a price far above the initial cost. For instance some says: “He got theater tickets through a scalper”: Someone who buys tickets to an event in order to resell them at a profit. And is it not also scalping if you take reviews from this site to make out of it a new product offer, and sell it for a higher price? We doubt that you will be successful with it. Since Peter Gamma will review your product and will user not come back to www.petergamma.org after that?
