Much to my surprise, my Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and Mighty Mouse are working out of the box in Hardy… well, maybe not.

I was attempting to set them up, so I turned them on and right clicked on the bluetooth applet in the notification area and chose preferences. I clicked to highlight ‘input devices’, which was already checked, then clicked to add a device. Since nothing showed up, I decided to go the old fashioned way and run a scan in the terminal. I bumped the Mighty Mouse incidentally and low and behold the cursor on my screen moved with it. The mouse was indeed working so I checked the keyboard and I could type just fine. I got all excited at first, but quickly realized that scrolling on the mouse was non-responsive, and the volume keys on the keyboard did nothing.

I decided to reboot and try again, but this time, I’ve got nothing. The mouse showed up briefly now in the bluetooth applet, and seemed to connect, but still didn’t work. Checking for input devices again shows nothing.

So I guess I’ll fool around rebooting and trying again, but I’m thinking I’m gonna have to go with my original plan and do things the hard way.
