      Hello,
      I currently have paired a keyboard with my retropie. I have paired my keyboard also with my iMac. Unfortunatelly the retropie is 24/7 online and when my iMac is off, the keyboard is connecting to the raspberry. When I start my iMac again, it is really an act to get the keyboard disconnected from the raspberry and get connected with the iMac again.

      How can I unpair the keyboard from retropie?

      I tried already the retropie-setup scrip by using:
      sudo /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh

      --> Configuration / tools --> 804 Bluetooth ...

      • -- When I use "remove bluetooth device" it shows: "There are no devices to remove."
        I don't know why. It shows the same, when the keyboard is connected and when it is not connected.

      • -- When I use "display registered & connected bluetooth devices" it shows
        "Registered Devices:
        Traceback (most recent call last):
        File
        " /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/supplementary/bluetooth/bluez-test-device", line 44, in
        <module>
        adapter =
        (...)
        "

        nothing to select and unpair.

      Side information, which might help:
      I have ps3controller installed too.

      I also tried to disconnect it by using the documentary: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Bluetooth-Controller/ , but the menu (or the results) are not the same as shown on this site.

      Thank you in advanced for your support.
      Best regards,
      Meffesino

        @Meffesino Try removing it via the command line. Here are some commands that you will need to use http://www.raspberry-projects.com/pi/pi-operating-systems/raspbian/bluetooth/bluetooth-commands
