Hello,

I recently bought the peripheral below, which is a wireless (bluetooth) keyboard for the switch. Tried it out on my PC and it registers and works just fine. However, when I dock my controls into the peripheral, the keyboard is not recognized by the switch. Currently running 6.01, with SX OS. my question is, does anybody else use this peripheral and got it to work? I am attempting to use the wireless keyboard for DOSBOX on RetroArch, does RetroArch support this? The peripheral I have can be found on Amazon, use the sentence below. Thanks!

I am sorry I dont understand what you mean. I have the peripheral and RetroArch does not pick up any inputs via bluetooth or connected with an OTG cable to the Switch. Not sure if there is an option buried in RetroArch to get it to recognize keyboard inputs, whether wireless or wired. Would definitely be handy with DOSBox.

The keyboard works with retroarch just won't work with retroarch and dosbox, amazon is a book reader and media player if they don't get on this they are going to be hibinipit, yes I have dosbox on retroarch and retroarch sees the keyboard it must be a problem with dosbox.
