      Hi guys.

      I have a RPi 3B running Retropie 4.1. I've recently acquired a Logitech MK220 Wireless keyboard and mouse. I know my RPi has built in bluetooth so was hoping to use this to connect the keyboard. The set came with a dongle, and with the dongle plugged in the RPi picks up the keyboard (not tried the mouse on anything yet) no problem.

      Ideally, what I'd like to do is stop using the dongle and get the keyboard/mouse to pair with the RPi's bluetooth. I've had a look through the Wiki, had a search but not really had any success.

      What would be the best way to do this? Is it something as simple as pairing a bluetooth controller, or is it more complex? Obviously I'd like the RPi to connect to it automatically whilst booting in to Emulation Station.

      Any pointers appreciated,
      Cheers,
      Dan

        @Danorak1981 it's not a Bluetooth keyboard.

          What a pleb! I thought it was Bluetooth not wireless! D'oh! It's actually the mK220 (I missed the K off my original post!).

          Well, I guess the same question still applies: is it possible to get this to pair to the RPi's WiFi on boot?

            @Danorak1981 no. It's bespoke.
