[nzlug] DSE Bluetooth dongle & Playstation adaptor

[Vik Olliver]

Someone was asking about DSE Bluetooth dongles.

I've just got the XH8880, a "100 metre" Bluetooth USB dongle. I'd had my
PC set up for Bluetooth under Kubuntu previously, and I just plugged it
in. No problemo. Does make the screen go wibbly if placed in just the
wrong place though!

The Playstation to USB joystick dual adaptor has issues, and I'll be
taking this up with the provider who seem very cooperative and are not
playing the "oh we don't support Linux" card - which is comforting to
see. In essence, the unit cannot differentiate between UP/LEFT or
DOWN/RIGHT keys. All other keys work fine.

That'll have to wait until after Xmas though. We might build a new
USB-only mat anyway, with 9 pads.
