I have only one bluetooth KB and that does not connect. It seems to be pretty flexible when it comes to USB keyboards, here’s my 1988 IBM model M keyboard connected using a PS/2-USB and and a cheap USB-A to USB-C connector.
Still, this means an extra keyboard on your desk, a very small screen and no way to copy / paste or use URLs. For me it’s more practical to have a window with perplexity or chatgpt open on my work computer.
As mentioned, my BT keyboard won’t pair. The R1 seems selective when it comes to BT keyboards. So it would be great to know which BT keyboard models do connect.
My point was: for wired USB keyboards it connects with anything I find, so I don’t believe it’s very picky on what USB-C to USB-A converter you use,
thank you for sharing your keyboard setup.
It is very interesting to see an USB adapter with a PS/2-USB adapter, too.
The question about the benefits with an extra keyboard:
I can use my keyboard setup to not disturb my coworkers in my company by entering prompts etc compared to speak the prompts into the rabbit r1.
Additional the rabbit r1 offers us Wolfram Alpha, Perplexity and ChatGPT in one device compared to have the best choice for my prompts compared to open one browser window/task in my laptop. Here I can use easily the rabbit hole too for the results.
In many cases I do not copy the prompts results, because I can easily work with the answers/results on the rabbit r1 screen.
I connected a low cost bluetooth keyboard that I got from Amazon.

There is a whole bunch of them (looking identical), so I’m assuming that it is a OEM product that is reselling under different brand names.
I also connected my Logitech MK540 Wireless Keyboard to the r1. It comes with a USB receiver (USB A) which I connected to the r1 using a USB A Female to USB C male adapter.
